At Quest Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we provide natural, non-invasive treatments that relieve nerve pressure, restore function, and help you heal without drugs, injections, or surgery.

Whether it started suddenly or has been building over time, we’re here to help you feel better, move better, and prevent it from coming back.

Why Choose Quest Chiropractic for Pinched Nerve Relief?

Dr. Eldon Meeks has over 20 years of experience treating nerve-related pain with precision, compassion, and results-driven care. At Quest Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we target the source of nerve compression, correct imbalances, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Our approach includes:

• 🟢 Chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and reduce nerve irritation
• 🟢 Red & infrared light therapy to calm inflammation and promote healing
• 🟢 Deep muscle stimulator therapy (DMS) to relieve muscular pressure on nerves
• 🟢 Spinal decompression (when needed) to create space and reduce disc pressure
• 🟢 Postural correction & movement retraining to stop flare-ups at the source

We personalize every plan based on your condition, pain level, and goals—and we explain everything clearly along the way.

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve happens when a surrounding structure—like a herniated disc, tight muscle, bone spur, or misaligned vertebra—puts too much pressure on a nerve. This pressure disrupts the nerve’s ability to function, causing pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in the areas it serves.

Pinched nerves most commonly occur in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine), but they can also appear in the shoulders, arms, wrists, hips, or legs.

Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve

• Sharp, stabbing, or radiating pain
• Burning or tingling sensations (“pins and needles”)
• Numbness or reduced sensation in arms, hands, legs, or feet
• Muscle weakness or fatigue in the affected area
• Pain that worsens with certain movements or postures
• Reduced flexibility or range of motion
• Neck or back stiffness

Common Causes of Nerve Compression

• Spinal misalignment (subluxation)
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Muscle tightness or inflammation (e.g., piriformis or scalene syndrome)
• Poor posture or “tech neck”
• Bone spurs or degenerative disc disease
• Repetitive motion or prolonged sitting
• Trauma (auto accident, sports injury, lifting injury)

How Chiropractic Care Helps a Pinched Nerve

✅ Relieves Pressure at the Source

Chiropractic adjustments gently realign the spine or joints to remove the pressure causing nerve irritation.

✅ Reduces Inflammation

Red and infrared light therapy increases circulation, decreases swelling, and supports cellular repair.

✅ Relaxes Muscles

Our DMS massage therapy targets overactive or tight muscles that compress nerves—especially in the neck, shoulders, or glutes.

✅ Promotes Natural Healing

We support your nervous system’s ability to heal itself by restoring function and balance to the spine and surrounding tissues.

✅ Prevents Future Flare-Ups

We provide education, exercises, and posture guidance to help keep nerves free and functioning properly long-term.

Your Personalized Care Plan May Include:

• Chiropractic Adjustments
• Red & Infrared Light Therapy
• Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS) Therapy

We’ll tailor your plan to your specific nerve issue and help you recover at a pace that’s right for you.
