Do i have a pinched nerve?

Nerves are responsible for sending signals throughout your body. Your body has three types of nerves – sensory nerves (nerves relaying information to the brain so you can feel, smell, and see), motor nerves (nerves controlling your movements and actions), and autonomic nerves (nerves controlling involuntary/partially voluntary body activities, such as heart rate and digestion). As these messages travel along nerve paths, nerves may become pressurized or compressed by surrounding bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons. This is called a pinched nerve.

Symptoms of pinched nerves typically manifest as pins and needles or numbness, muscle weakness, and sharp, aching, or burning pain, in the affected area. Various conditions can cause tissue to pressurize a nerve, including injury, rheumatoid arthritis, or stress.

What is Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless Leg Syndrome (‘RLS’) refers to the uncontrollable urge to move your legs,

typically in attempt to alleviate an uncomfortable feeling in your legs.

People often describe the sensation as crawling,
pulling,
aching,
throbbing,
itching,
or even electric.

In addition to these symptoms,

people with RLS may also experience fatigue or restlessness,

difficulty falling asleep/sleep deprivation,

excessive daytime sleepiness,

or a common urge to move,

especially the legs and feet.

Symptoms most commonly manifest during the evening or night-time and are particularly exacerbated whilst sitting or lying down.

RLS can be caused by hereditary factors,

or pregnancy in which hormonal changes may exacerbate existing RLS symptoms,

or women may experience RLS for the first time,

particularly during the last trimester.

RLS can also be worsened by nerve damage,
iron deficiency,
kidney failure,
spinal cord conditions,
or Parkinson's disease.

How can a chiropractor help?

Moving your leg around may temporarily alleviate the discomfort,

but unfortunately won’t be a permanent fix.

In addition to self-care steps and medication,

chiropractic treatment can be particularly effective!

Can A Chiropractor Help With Growing Pains?

The short answer is yes!

Growing pains typically occur in children between the ages of 2-12 years, and may be caused by muscle overuse, joint misalignment, or postural issues.

Such pain usually manifests in the calf, thigh, and behind the knee, and usually worsens during the night.

As a parent, seeing your child in pain can be alarming – however, it’s important to remember that no actual damage is happening to your child’s bones or muscles, and growing pains can be easily alleviated through many at-home and chiropractic remedies!

Your core muscles play an important role in keeping your spine straight and stable whilst completing everyday activities.

Not only is core stability imperative for proper posture and spinal alignment,

but it also helps to prevent injuries stemming from the overuse of muscles.

A strong core can make movements smoother, more efficient, and comfortable, reducing the likelihood of injury.

Core weakness can cause you to place added strain on other muscles in your body to complete everyday movements and activities.

This can cause pain in areas such as your back, neck, and joints.

Although your core muscles naturally weaken with age, there are many exercises you can do to try and fortify and improve your core muscle strength.
