Pinched Nerve Chiropractor in Virginia Beach

A pinched nerve can cause tingling, numbness, or radiating pain in your arms, hands, or legs. ProAdjuster Chiropractic Clinic in Virginia Beach may be able to help.

Dr. Maggio and his team use gentle, technology-assisted chiropractic care to help address spinal motion and nerve irritation that may contribute to pinched nerve symptoms.

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues — such as bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons — apply too much pressure to a nerve. This pressure disrupts the nerve’s function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.

Pinched nerves most commonly occur in the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back), but can affect any part of the spine.

Common symptoms of a pinched nerve include:

• Burning, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensation
• Numbness or reduced sensation in the arm, hand, leg, or foot
• Sharp, shooting, or radiating pain
• Muscle weakness in the affected area
• Pain that worsens with certain movements or positions

Common causes of pinched nerves in the spine include:

• Herniated or bulging discs that press on nerve roots
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Bone spurs from degenerative changes
• Spinal misalignment or subluxation
• Repetitive motions or injury
• Poor posture and tech neck in the cervical spine
• Whiplash from auto accidents

A pinched nerve in the neck may cause symptoms in the arm or hand, while a pinched nerve in the lower back may cause sciatica-like symptoms in the leg or foot.

Yes — chiropractic care may help pinched nerve symptoms by improving spinal alignment, motion, and reducing the mechanical pressure on affected nerve roots.

At ProAdjuster Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Maggio uses the ProAdjuster — a computerized, technology-assisted adjustment system — to gently address areas of spinal restriction and misalignment. This is especially valuable for patients with cervical or lumbar pinched nerve pain who want precise care without aggressive manipulation.

A pinched nerve typically causes sharp, burning, or shooting pain along the nerve pathway, often accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness. In the neck, you may feel these sensations radiating into the shoulder, arm, or hand. In the lower back, symptoms may radiate down the hip and leg (similar to sciatica). The sensation is often described as “electric” or like an arm or leg “falling asleep.”

Chiropractic care cannot “fix” a pinched nerve in the surgical sense, but it may help address contributing spinal factors — such as misalignment or restricted motion — that are creating mechanical pressure on the nerve. Many patients experience improvement in symptoms following chiropractic care for pinched nerve conditions. A proper evaluation will help determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific situation.

A pinched nerve can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks or longer, depending on the underlying cause and whether it is being addressed. Pinched nerves that result from temporary inflammation may resolve relatively quickly, while those related to disc issues or degenerative changes may require more sustained care. Early evaluation and appropriate care generally lead to better outcomes.

Yes. A pinched nerve in the cervical spine (neck) can cause pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates into the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, or hand. This is known as cervical radiculopathy. It is often connected to neck pain and may be related to a herniated disc or spinal misalignment in the upper spine.

Yes. The ProAdjuster uses a gentle, computerized adjustment approach that does not require the forceful twisting or cracking of traditional chiropractic manipulation. This makes it well-suited for patients with nerve pain or irritation who want precise, targeted care with minimal discomfort during treatment.
