Chiro for a pinched nerve

A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, resulting in a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.

We understand the impact these symptoms can have on your daily life, making even the simplest tasks feel challenging.

Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and support needed to address your pinched nerve effectively, and we are dedicated to helping you navigate this journey towards relief.

Don’t let a pinched nerve hold you back. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards finding comfort and regaining control of your life.

Symptoms of a pinched nerve

Sharp or burning pain: This could be localised at the site of the pinched nerve, or radiate along the path of the nerve.
Numbness or decreased sensation: There may be a feeling of “pins and needles” in the area served by the nerve.
Tingling or ‘pins and needles’: This sensation can often be felt in the hands or feet.
Muscle weakness: A decrease in strength in the muscles served by the affected nerve.
Feeling that a foot or hand has “fallen asleep”: This can occur in the area served by the nerve.

Common causes of a pinched nerve

Herniated disc: When a disc in your spine ruptures, it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves.
Bone spurs: These can develop as a result of injury or disease, causing additional pressure on the nerve.
Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spaces in your spine can cause nerves to become compressed.
Repetitive motions or overuse: Regularly performing the same motion can lead to nerve damage over time.
Obesity: Extra weight can add pressure to nerves, particularly in the lower back.

Preventing and managing a pinched nerve

Exercise regularly: Keeping your body in good shape can prevent many causes of pinched nerves.
Maintain good posture: This helps to keep pressure off your nerves and avoid unnecessary strain.
Take breaks: If your work or activities involve repetitive motions, ensure you take regular breaks to relieve pressure on your nerves.
Healthy weight: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on your nerves and can help prevent pinched nerves, particularly in your lower back.
Professional care: We can provide treatments designed to alleviate symptoms and promote healing, as well as provide advice on how to avoid future nerve compression.

I have been seeing Dr Barry for a few years now. I started due to ongoing headaches/migraines which vastly improved after attending Karrinyup Wellness Centre. My husband now attends (he highly rates the massages) and our children have been seeing Dr Barry since they were born. He has assisted with injuries, illness, general growing pains and sleeplessness. Very happy with the attentive and friendly service (from all Chiros and front desk crew). We moved further away from the centre, but still make the small trek to visit due to being so happy with everything they offer.

Karrinyup Wellness is not just about spinal health. It helps us patients identify and address the causes and stressors that cause the misalignments as well as a myriad of other consequences. ( eg compromised immune systems) I don’t know where I would be physically and mentally without the care from Karrinyup Wellness over the last 20 or more years Thank you so much for the care. 😀

I have been to Karrinyup wellness Centre since 2018 on and off after injuries/pregnancies ect. Dr Shinae has miracle hands, she may look tiny but she is incredibly strong, knowledgeable and gives you a holistic insight into the cause of pain. After every appointment with Dr Shinae I walk out and feel so much 'looser', and my pain is back under control. After a couple appointments and I'm off any pain medication. Very family friendly clinic can not recommend and thank you enough!

🌟 Five-Star Review for Dr. Tash at Karrinyup Wellness Centre 🌟I can't recommend Dr. Tash at Karrinyup Wellness Centre enough! Her exceptional care and expertise have made a remarkable difference in my life.I initially sought Dr. Tash's help for my chronic migraines, and her treatments have been nothing short of life-changing. With her personalized approach and deep understanding of migraines, I've experienced significant relief and improved quality of life.What's even more impressive is that her treatments didn't stop at migraines. Dr. Tash's knowledge and dedication overflowed to address other health issues I was facing. She provided invaluable guidance on managing stress, helped me understand and reduce sugar consumption, and addressed the challenges I had with certain gym exercises.Thanks to her guidance and support, I now feel empowered and confident about my overall health and well-being. Dr. Tash's holistic approach and genuine concern for her patients have been truly exceptional.If you're looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare professional who goes above and beyond to help you achieve your health goals, Dr. Tash is the one you can trust.Thank you, Dr. Tash, for making a positive impact on my life! Your dedication to your patients is inspiring, and I'm grateful for the transformational journey you've taken me on. 🙏

I’ve been seeing Dr Shinae for over 3 years now. I first saw her when I was pregnant and suffering from lower back pain. After my first few intensive weeks of seeing her I was feeling so much better. I continued to see her throughout my pregnancy. She helped to prevent any pain coming back to my back and helped open and untwist my hips and pelvis which most definitely helped with the birth of my daughter. A few years on and my self and now my 2 year old see Shinae. Her warm positivity energy is contagious we love our chiro sessions. I couldn’t recommend Shinae and the Karrinyup wellness team enough!

Dr Shinae, one of the chiro’s at Karrinyup Wellness Centre has done wonders for the health of our family. She originally saw our 7 month old child who was a screamer in the car and within a couple of weeks, our child was much more comfortable and calm in the car seat. Dr Shinae then assisted me with my wrist pain - De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis which was a symptom of having a young Bub and breastfeeding. Within 6 weeks, I was out of my wrist braces and barely had any pain in my hands, ready to go back to work. Dr Shinae also specializes in the Chiro technique N.O.T. and has an incredible understanding of kinesiology which has aided in fast tracking her treatment and helping our family through any personal and mental issues we come across in our daily lives. When she is away, her brother Dr Scott is also incredible at all of the above too. We’re so happy with the care we’ve received from Dr Shinae and Dr Scott.

The chiropractors here are amazing. I've seen Shinae and Scott and they are both really well trained chiros who also incorporate kinesio testing into their treatment.The practice has its own X-ray facilities to identify spine curvature, posture, or other spinal abnormalities. They also offer naturopathy, kinesiology, and massage.For me, they are worth the 30min drive!

I use both chiropractic and naturopathic services at Karrinyup Wellness Centre. From the modern aesthetics of the treatment rooms to the friendly front desk staff, and the knowledgeable practitioners who tailor a holistic treatment plan to your needs this practice is a delight to visit. It is always easy to get an appointment with the availability of extended opening hours and pricing is fair. The range of services including in house X-ray and dispensary really make KWC a one stop shop for a holistic health approach.

Being seeing Jason the Chiro for over 2 years. Used to suffer from headaches daily, muscle soreness and always felt the need to crack my neck. After the first session I found improvement in my overall health. Can not recommend Jason enough.

My back and my entire body feels better than ever, since I started going to the Karrinyup Wellness Centre for regular chiropractic treatment. The chiropractic techniques used are far more superior than those used by other chiropractors in terms of effectiveness and comfort, based on my experience. It's also great that they have amazing Naturopaths and Massage therapists there too. So many talented people all in the same centre that will take care of all of your health needs in the most holistic way possible. Highly Recommened!

THE BEST CHIROPRACTIC AND WELLNESS CARE! I couldn’t recommend Dr Shinae and the team at Karrinyup Wellness Centre more highly. Dr Shinae helped me throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy, as well as my newborn daughter. As any new Mumma would know, that new Mum stage is HARD and Dr Shinae helped heal both my body and mind and for that I will be forever grateful!I travel from Mandurah because Dr Shinae is worth her weight in gold, not only for her Chiropractic and Kinesiology skills, but because of her above and beyond patient care.
