Testimonials

I had been battling persistent lower back pain for over eight years, and Dr. Armstrong brought a pain-free feeling of relief I had not experienced in years. Dr. Armstrong took the time to explain her techniques answering all of my inquires. I look forward to my next visit at Armstrong Chiropractic.

I have had chiropractic work done in the past and have never had relief. The newer techniques learned and perfected by Dr. Armstrong have finally provided me with the relief chiropractors have always told me was possible. Her bedside manner is friendly yet professional creating a very comfortable atmosphere. If you're living in pain, thinking that nothing is able to help, Dr. Armstrong is my recommendation for giving you the relief you need.

Pinched Nerve

Several people turn to chiropractic care for safe, effective treatment of "pinched nerves." While a "pinched nerve" usually responds extremely well to chiropractic care, it is actually a pretty rare condition. In most cases of a pinched nerve, you will feel tingling, numbness, and possibly even weakness because of pressure and inflammation on a nerve from bulging discs or bone spurs along the spine. Pressure on these "pinched nerves" can cause your symptoms to travel away from the spine, along the course of the nerve. The nerves of the neck travel down the shoulder and extend into the arm, hand, and fingers, which is why so many neck problems cause symptoms to radiate into the arm and hand. The nerves of the low back join to form the sciatic nerve, which travels down the leg into the foot. This is why a "pinched nerve" of the low back with symptoms radiating down the leg is often called "sciatica." More common than nerves being "pinched" by bone spurs or discs, nerves can very often become irritated by stiff and restricted joints and muscles. These nerve irritations can cause pain, and even numbness and tingling as well.

At Armstrong Chiropractic, we perform a thorough examination including orthopedic and neurologic testing and X-ray, if necessary, to help determine your exact diagnosis and individualized treatment plan. Manipulation (adjustment) of the spinal and extremity joints is very effective in restoring normal function to the joints, as well as to the surrounding muscles and nerves. This usually leads to a decrease in pain and a faster recovery. Please call us for an appointment.
