Pinched Nerve Pain? Why Spinal Decompression Might Be the Answer
If you’re struggling with sharp, radiating, or persistent pain in your neck, back, arms, or legs, there’s a good chance a pinched nerve could be the cause. At Vida Chiropractic, we see patients every day who are frustrated by nerve-related discomfort—but the good news is, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy may offer real, lasting relief.
What Is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues—like herniated discs, bone spurs, or inflamed muscles—apply too much pressure on a nerve. This pressure can disrupt the nerve’s normal function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates into other parts of the body.
Common causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Poor posture or repetitive strain
Why Spinal Decompression Might Be the Answer
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine using a specialized table and computer-controlled traction. This reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves, promoting better alignment, nutrient flow, and healing.
Here’s how it helps relieve pinched nerve pain:
- Creates space between vertebrae, easing pressure on the nerve root
- Improves disc hydration and retraction, reducing bulging or herniation
- Encourages natural healing without medication or surgery
- Targets the root cause, not just the symptoms
Unlike temporary relief from painkillers or injections, decompression focuses on correcting the mechanical problem that causes nerve impingement.

When you come to Vida Chiropractic, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to confirm the source of your pain. If a pinched nerve is diagnosed, and you’re a candidate for spinal decompression, we’ll design a personalized care plan that may also include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle advice to keep the pain from returning.
