NERVE PAIN AND NUMBNESS TREATMENT IN WHANGAREI
At Whangarei Chiropractic, we understand how frustrating and disruptive nerve pain and numbness can be. Whether it’s a persistent tingling sensation, burning pain, or weakness in your limbs, we are dedicated to helping you find relief and restore function naturally.
Do you experience any of the following?
Tingling or “pins and needles” in your hands, arms, legs, or feet
Burning or shooting pain along a nerve pathway
Numbness or loss of sensation in certain areas
Muscle weakness or difficulty gripping objects
Pain that worsens with movement or certain positions
Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
Nerve pain and numbness can stem from a variety of conditions affecting the spine, muscles, or nervous system. Because nerves control movement, sensation, and reflexes, irritation or compression can lead to discomfort and dysfunction. Dr Mark Bruining will assess your condition thoroughly to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Common Causes of Nerve Pain and Numbness
Spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction affecting nerve pathways
Herniated or bulging discs pressing on spinal nerves
Sciatica or nerve compression in the lower back
Carpal tunnel syndrome or nerve entrapment in the wrist
Pinched nerves in the neck or shoulders
Peripheral neuropathy (often associated with diabetes or other conditions)
Postural strain leading to nerve irritation
Previous injuries affecting nerve function
Treating Nerve Pain and Numbness
At Whangarei Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating nerve pain by addressing spinal alignment, joint mobility, muscle function, and overall nerve health. By improving how your nervous system functions, we aim to relieve discomfort and restore sensation.
The first step in managing your condition is ensuring we have an accurate diagnosis. We achieve this through a comprehensive clinical history, a thorough physical examination, and, if necessary, further diagnostic investigations such as X-rays.
Once we have all the information required to make an accurate diagnosis, we will explain our findings to you in a simple and concise manner. Based on this, we will tailor a treatment plan specific to your condition and goals. We are committed to helping you relieve nerve-related pain and numbness so you can regain confidence in your movement. If at any stage we determine that you need to be referred to another provider, we will ensure you find the right specialist.
Prevention and Education
To help you maintain long-term relief, we provide education on posture, movement patterns, and lifestyle modifications. We also offer ergonomic advice and prescribe rehabilitation exercises to support nerve function and prevent further irritation.
