Pinched Nerve Treatment in Hillsboro
Do everyday movements leave you with pain or discomfort that just won’t go away? A pinched nerve may be the cause. It can disrupt work, sleep, and daily routines. At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, we use gentle pinched nerve treatment in Hillsboro to ease pressure, restore movement, and help you feel comfortable in your body again.
Understanding Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues, such as muscles, tendons, or spinal discs, press on a nerve and disrupt its function. Common causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Muscle tension or spasms
- Poor posture from sitting, desk work, or phone use
- Injuries from accidents or repetitive motion
- Inflammation around nerve pathways
If left untreated, a pinched nerve can lead to chronic pain, numbness, weakness, or reduced mobility. The sooner you get care, the sooner you’ll start feeling better, and small issues won’t have the chance to grow.
Common Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve can affect you in different ways. Recognizing the signs makes it easier to know when to seek care:
- Sharp or burning pain that travels down your arm or leg
- Tingling or "pins and needles" sensations
- Numbness or weakness in your arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Muscle spasms or stiffness
- Pain that worsens with certain movements or prolonged positions
How We Diagnose Pinched Nerves
At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of your nerve discomfort. This includes:
- Detailed health and injury history review
- Physical and spinal assessment
- Range of motion and nerve function testing
- Imaging referrals (X-ray or MRI) if necessary
These steps ensure that every treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored specifically to your needs.
Comprehensive Pinched Nerve Treatment We Offer
Every pinched nerve case is unique, so we create a customized plan using proven chiropractic techniques and supportive therapies:

Instead of focusing only on where the pain shows up, this adjustment restores healthy movement and alignment across your whole spine. This technique relieves pressure on nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility, helping your body recover naturally.
Drop Table Technique
A gentle, low-impact adjustment that uses a special table to make care easier on your body. It helps release tension and ease stiffness around pinched nerves, making it a good option for anyone who’s sensitive or healing from an injury.
Activator Method
This technique uses a small handheld device to deliver quick, low-force adjustments where your body needs it most. This method provides targeted relief without adding further strain, making care comfortable and precise.
Massage Therapy
Gentle therapeutic massage loosens tight muscles, improves circulation, and eases tension that can press on nerves. Reducing this pressure helps relieve pain and makes movement feel more natural and comfortable.
Hydro Massage
Hydro massage uses soothing water pressure to relax muscles and boost circulation. This eases tension in the upper and lower back, reducing irritation around nerves to help you move more comfortably.
HPHD Laser Therapy
High-Power, High-Density Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to calm inflammation, encourage tissue healing, and alleviate pain associated with pinched nerves. It works best when combined with other supportive care as part of a complete wellness plan.
