Pinched Nerve - Mile High Spine & Pain Center
The term of pinched nerve is used to describe any peripheral nerve that is being compressed. The peripheral nerves are located in the limbs, joints, and in the hips. Any number of issues can lead to pressure on an important nerve. This manifests as irritating and painful symptoms that usual extend down the arm or into the feet. If a major nerve comes under pressure from a serious issues, it can interfere with the use of the affected area, especially when complete numbness is involved.
A host of confusing symptoms can pop up when you have a pinched never. These issues may include:
A nerve in the shoulder could make the chest or fingertips hurt. It can be tricky to find the exact nerve leading to the pain, but our diagnostic tools in Westminster and Broomfield can help.

After competing in bodybuilding and powerlifting for many years, I began new journeys in my life, and as such walked away from the demands of the competitive lifestyle. Upon losing weight I began to notice pain. That pain eventually led to immobilization. I was literally living on a pain scale of 7-10 on a 24/7 basis. As such, my entire foundation (both mentally and physically) began to crumble. I work in the King Soopers so I always saw Mile HIgh, but eventually made the extra step to go in. I was growing tired of living in pain. The entire staff is absolutely incredible, and is the only facility where I have seen a Nurse Practitioner and a Doctor of Chiropractic's work in perfect synchronization. Additionally, upon my first visit I was able to get imaging done along with an excellent developed game plan the very next day.
Even in my darkest days where sometimes I couldn't build up the energy or mindset to go in, they ALWAYS accommodated and got me in either the same day or the next (always based on my preference, mind you). While being a patient at Mile High, I also began to see third party surgeons (also recommended directly by the NP at Mile HIgh) where I found out I had two degenerated discs that at that point, were virtually non existent. My lower vertebrae were essentially running bone to bone. I was in daily debilitating pain with numbing in my arms and legs, severe nerve pain in my pelvis and L4 to S1, muscle spasms, and terrible neck pain caused by a lack of curvature in my upper spine. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't work out--I was literally spiraling down. At that point, I could no longer go to the gym and as my weight continued to drop, my pain continued to go up.
At that time I began becoming desperate for relief. I went to surgeons and literally begged and bribed for a spinal fusion with no luck due to my low age (29). My options were to either find someone who do the surgery or--PRP. This procedure was recommended to me multiple times by the NP at Mile High. She was extremely confident that it would fix my problem; however, after everything I had already been through I was naturally hesitant. Literally nothing else had worked for me (including steroid injections done by a third party that debilitated and almost immobilized me for two weeks), so my mindset was, "why do this?".
Eventually, I had the PRP procedure done and as I write this today I can honestly and confidently say I have my life back. Mile High Spine & Pain Center gave me my life back. I am up now almost 25 pounds, have my metabolism back, sleep like a rock, and am in the gym three to four days a week with increasing strength. I am happier, I am healthier, but most importantly--I am pain free.
Words alone cannot manifest the level of thankfulness I have for the entire team at Mile High and every time I wake up, go to work, and go the gym I always think about how much the PRP treatment was the best decision I ever made. I recommend Mile High to anyone and everyone suffering from back/neck pain. Whether it's something the Chiropractor can fix or something the NP can fix (often both), you will never regret the decision, that I promise you. read less -
