Many patients consult a chiropractor believing they may have a pinched nerve, which can result from compression of the nerve. Some common symptoms include a “pins and needles” or burning sensation, often radiating outward from an injured area into the arms or legs. It is also common to feel areas of the body as numb or “falling asleep.” Pinched nerves can lead to other more serious conditions, so it is best to address the situation quickly by seeking a consultation with a health professional.
