Back Pain: Is It a Pinched Nerve?

woman with hip pain

We have nerves throughout our entire body. When nerves get inflamed, irritated or pinched, the pain that follows is hard to ignore. One of the most common place for a pinched nerve is in the lumbar back region. However, when back pain strikes, it can be difficult to determine whether you are experiencing a pulled muscle, back spasm or other injury. At Manhattan Sports Therapy, we have a licensed team of chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists that can help you find relief from your disruptive back pain – even when it involves a pinched nerve.

Symptoms of Lumbar Pinched Nerves

A pinched nerve can certainly go away, but it is often not immediately. In the meantime, the pinched nerve can have a serious impact on a person’s daily movement and quality of life.

Symptoms of a pinched nerve do not always manifest themselves in the exact location of the nerve. The initial symptoms of a lumbar pinched nerve may include tingling, numbness, a burning sensation or shooting pains down the buttocks and legs. When there is nerve damage from constant pressure, patients experience increased pain and muscle weakness and may even lose reflexes and movement.

What Causes Pinched Nerves?

A pinched nerve rarely just happens on its own. Rather, it is a painful structural consequence of another injury or condition, such as the following:

  • Spinal arthritis
  • Bulging disc
  • Bone spurs
  • Herniated disc
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet disease

Manhattan Sports Therapy has expertise in treating these complex conditions that affect the spine and result in chronic or acute back and neck pain. Call us today to start getting relief from your Lumbar Pinched Nerve.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
