Conditions We Treat
Nerve Pain & Compression Treatment in Seattle
Tingling, numbness, burning, shooting pain: these are nerve symptoms. We identify where the compression is and treat it at the source.
Types of Nerve Conditions
What's Causing Your Symptoms
Radiculopathy
Nerve root compression in the spine producing pain, numbness, or weakness radiating into the arms or legs (sciatica is a common example).
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Compression of nerves and vessels between the collarbone and first rib that causes arm pain, numbness, and hand weakness. Ash Chima specializes in this condition.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Median nerve compression at the wrist causing hand numbness, tingling, and weakness. Often has a cervical component.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Damage to peripheral nerves producing burning, tingling, or numbness, often in the feet and hands.
Nerve Compression from Disc Herniation
Herniated disc material directly pressing on a spinal nerve root, causing shooting pain into the extremity.
Piriformis Syndrome
Sciatic nerve compression by the piriformis muscle producing buttock and leg symptoms identical to true sciatica.
Treatment
Treating the Source, Not Just the Symptom
Chiropractic Adjustment
Reduces the spinal joint restriction and disc pressure compressing nerve roots at the source.
Nerve Flossing / Mobilization
Specialized techniques to restore normal nerve movement through tight tissue and joint restrictions.
Sports Massage (Ash Chima)
Clinical expertise in thoracic outlet syndrome, cervicalgia, and nerve entrapment from the soft tissue side.
Soft Tissue / Myofascial Release
Releases the muscle and fascial entrapments that compress peripheral nerves.
Acupuncture
Reduces nerve inflammation systemically and locally, with strong evidence for neuropathic pain reduction.
Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation promotes nerve healing and reduces the inflammation driving neuropathic symptoms.
Related Conditions
Most nerve pain starts with compression somewhere along the spine, which is exactly what our chiropractic care addresses. A herniated disc is the most common structural cause we find, and nerve entrapment near the collarbone often shows up as shoulder pain with tingling down the arm.
Acupuncture is one of the most requested complements to chiropractic care for nerve-related pain.
