A pinched nerve can cause much more than pain in one area. Depending on which nerve is irritated or compressed, symptoms may travel from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand, or from the lower back into the hip, leg, or foot. Some people notice pain, while others primarily experience numbness, tingling, weakness, burning, or a pins-and-needles sensation.
“Pinched nerve” is a common term used to describe a nerve that is being irritated or compressed by surrounding structures. The source can vary and may involve a spinal disc, joint changes, inflammation, narrowing around a nerve, injury, or other factors.
At Kitsap Spine & Wellness in Silverdale, WA, we evaluate where your symptoms begin, where they travel, what movements make them better or worse, and whether the neck, back, discs, joints, or surrounding tissues may be involved.
Depending on your evaluation, care may include chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy, exercise therapy, mobility work, posture support, or other conservative treatment options available at our office.

Pinched nerve symptoms commonly originate in the neck or lower back. The location of the irritated nerve can affect where pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness is felt.
Neck, Shoulder, Arm, or Hand Symptoms: A pinched or irritated nerve in the cervical spine may cause pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness that travels from the neck into the shoulder, arm, forearm, or hand.
Symptoms may worsen when turning the head, looking down, working at a computer, driving, or holding the neck in one position for an extended period.

Back, Hip, Leg, or Foot Symptoms: Nerve irritation in the lumbar spine may cause lower back pain along with radiating pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the hip, leg, or foot.
Symptoms may become more noticeable with sitting, standing, walking, bending, or lifting. When the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots are involved, symptoms may be related to sciatica.

Several conditions can irritate or place pressure on a spinal nerve, including:
A focused evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and which treatment options are appropriate.
Temporary tingling after sleeping in an awkward position may resolve quickly, but ongoing or recurring nerve symptoms should not simply be ignored. An evaluation can help determine whether symptoms may be coming from the spine, a local nerve, a disc problem, or another condition.
Consider scheduling an appointment if:
Seek prompt medical attention for rapidly worsening weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, severe symptoms following significant trauma, or other sudden neurological changes.
At Kitsap Spine & Wellness, treatment begins with determining where your symptoms may be coming from and which movements, positions, or activities are aggravating them. We look at the involved area as well as related parts of the spine and body that may affect movement and nerve irritation.
Your care plan may focus on:
Depending on the source and severity of your symptoms, treatment may include chiropractic care, non-surgical spinal decompression, exercise therapy, mobility work, posture recommendations, or other conservative services.
Your first visit helps us understand your symptoms, where they travel, how long they have been present, and which activities or positions appear to affect them.
We may discuss:
After the evaluation, we will explain our findings and discuss whether conservative treatment at Kitsap Spine & Wellness is appropriate for your condition.
When nerve irritation is associated with a compressed or injured spinal disc, non-surgical spinal decompression may be considered as part of a conservative treatment plan.
Spinal decompression uses controlled traction to gently stretch targeted areas of the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on spinal discs and surrounding structures. It may be appropriate for some patients experiencing symptoms related to disc bulges, disc herniations, sciatica, neck pain, back pain, or irritated spinal nerves.
Spinal decompression is not appropriate for every condition or every patient. We first evaluate your symptoms and health history to determine whether it may be a reasonable option.

A pinched or irritated nerve may cause sharp, burning, aching, or electric-like pain along with numbness, tingling, pins-and-needles sensations, or weakness. Symptoms may remain near the neck or back or travel into an arm, hand, hip, leg, or foot.
A pinched nerve in the neck may be associated with a bulging or herniated disc, joint or degenerative changes, inflammation, injury, or reduced space around a cervical nerve. An evaluation is needed to determine what may be contributing to an individual’s symptoms.
Yes. Irritation of certain nerves in the neck can cause symptoms that travel into the shoulder, arm, forearm, hand, or fingers. These symptoms may include pain, tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness.
Yes. Nerve irritation in the lower back can cause symptoms that travel into the buttock, hip, thigh, lower leg, or foot. When the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots are involved, symptoms may be described as sciatica.
Yes. A bulging or herniated spinal disc can sometimes irritate or place pressure on a nearby nerve root. Depending on the location, this may contribute to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in an arm or leg.
Spinal decompression may be considered when nerve irritation is associated with certain disc or spinal conditions. It uses controlled traction to help reduce pressure on spinal discs and surrounding structures. Whether it is appropriate depends on the cause of your symptoms and your examination findings.
Chiropractic care may be part of a conservative care plan when symptoms are associated with joint mobility, spinal mechanics, posture, or other musculoskeletal factors. Depending on your condition, treatment may also include spinal decompression, exercise therapy, mobility work, or other services.
Consider scheduling an evaluation when pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness continues, repeatedly returns, travels into an arm or leg, or interferes with normal activities. Rapidly worsening weakness, bowel or bladder changes, numbness around the groin or saddle area, or severe symptoms following significant trauma require prompt medical attention.
