What treatment other than operation for pinched nerves?

Pinched nerves in neck. 3and 4 vertebra is pressing on spinal cord- no use of right arm. Is there any medication to ease pain and regain use of arm. I have done MRI.andhave been seeing a chiropractor but doesn't seem to help.

    -BioSynch/Mark Lamm-developer--incredible bodywork--has helped many people in your type of situation-speak with him directly

    -Acupuncture

    -Medical Massage (prescribed by your doc)

    -Go to an Osteopathic Physician who performs manual manipulation including cranial osteopathy--more thorough than the chiropractor (been to both)

    -Structural Integration, The Rolf Method

    -Deep tissue massage/myofascial release

    -CranioSacral Therapy

    It may be quite possible to alleviate the pressure on the spinal cord. A talented, very experienced and highly qualified bodywork practitioner may be able to help you heal by creating space between the structures. Often this type of problem is in the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments) and not the vertebrae. Do this in conjunction with your doc. It may take several of these (and, perhaps other modalities) to work synergistically for success. If you can, leave meds and surgery as your absolute last resort.

    Some resources are listed below.

    Best of luck and get well soon.

    I had the same problem as you do now.

    I also went to chiropractor for weeks, no luck.

    I was told I needed surgery but decided to try accupuncture.

    It was the best thing I ever did!!

    I would 'strongly' suggest you try it before resorting to surgery.

    They also have certain techniques that you can do at home to prevent pain, by doing massage and moist heat therapy.

    This will allow your muscles to relax and you will heal much quicker. If you use any natural products I would definately suggest you try an 'all natural' cream called 'TRAUMEEL'.

    It is really a miracle cream and does help to take the edge of your pain when you need to rest/sleep. It was/is the 'only' thing that works for me without having to take drugs.

    Hope this has helped.

    Moderate upper body weight training can strengthen the muscles to help hold the vertebrae apart. Regular stretching like trying to touch your head to the ceiling while standing flatfooted. Use deep breaths to enhance this stretch. Do this frequently throughout the day and maintain good posture.

    If you've lost the use of an arm and have pain, that's very serious. The only alternative to surgery I can imagine would be intensive physical therapy and traction to stretch things in place. Forget medication and forget the chiropractor. This calls for far more than an "adjustment" and it needs to be done now. You should consult an orthopedic surgeon not necessarily to operate, but to evaluate you and guide your rehabilitation.

    try seeking a chiropractic neurologist. They specialize in treating this type of disorder. And please stay away from meds. They only mask the problem, they do nothing to correct it. And there was recently a huge article about medications and side effects to meds are the #3 cause of death in the united states. So try chiro, physical therapy to regain full range of motion and any muscle damage and maybe even massage to help ease any spasm you might be having

    Neurontin works well, however lyrica seems to work much better for my nerve pain from herniated cervical and lumbar disks. I highly recommend seeing an MD specializing in pain control. A medrol dose pack may also help as well as a cervical epidural injection. It's done wonders for me.

    There are numerous chiropractic philosophies. Look for a chiropractor who follows the Gonstead method. There are a number of other methods that are a bit quirky. It is worth another try with the right chiro.
