Pain
in back may be caused by pinched nerve
July 26, 2004
Q.
How can I tell if my back pain is coming from a muscle
or a pinched nerve?
A. In general, muscle pain
tends to burn and be localized to the problem area.
A pinched nerve, on the other hand, tends to be a sharp
pain and is more likely to radiate away from the problem
area, running down the leg or arm. Both types of pain
can be extremely debilitating.
Often back pain will be caused by a combination of muscle
and nerve pain.
A muscle’s primary function is to move a joint;
for example, the bicep muscle flexes the elbow joint
and brings the wrist up toward the shoulder.
The muscle’s secondary task is to protect the joints
they surround.
This is accomplished by contracting or “knotting
up” near the injured joint. This action splints
the joint and stabilizes it, preventing further injury.
If the spinal vertebral joints are injured enough to
cause a pinched nerve, there are likely knotted muscles
also contributing to the pain.
A chiropractor’s job is to try to restore vertebral
joints to normal functioning, alleviating pinched nerves
and, in effect, relaxing surrounding muscles.
