Yes. Chiropractors are nerve doctors. Helping with a pinched nerve is very common.
Yes. A chiropractic professional can determine if your problem might be from the thoracic spine. The shoulder may be evaluated as well. In our offices, we have nerve and muscle re-educator modalities for treatment and increased healing.

A pinched nerve is a really poor generic term, you need a good evaluation, and someone can easily explain what is going on and develop treatment specific for you.

Yes. Absolutely you should go to a chiropractor for a pinched nerve. The chiropractor can diagnose and treat for pinched nerves. They may also recommend home care exercises to help facilitate the healing process. The sooner you go the faster you will recover.

Hello,
Chiropractors are your number one choice for "pinched" or irritated nerves and misalignments in the spine or other joints. They will need to do an examination to find out what is wrong, and most patients feel relief quickly. The quicker you make an appointment, the quicker you will start feeling better!

Yes, definitely would be the first place I would look. The philosophy of chiropractors is that if a joint is fixated, or not in the right place that it will cause irritation causing the pain, inflammation, and swelling. However check to see who you decide to go to that they do extra spinal treatments as well. Some doctors only adjust the spinal misalignment related to the area's effected, and you may have a shoulder dysfunction as well.
Absolutely. Chiropractors are in the business of diagnosing musculoskeletal and nerve related conditions. If there is a pinched or irritated nerve, the D.C. should be able to detect the problem through examination and find a way to take the pressure off the irritated nerve.
I hope this information is helpful.

Most definitely! It could simply be a subluxation putting just enough pressure on a nerve to irritate the nerve root. Your local chiropractor should be able to help and possibly rule out anything out of the ordinary.
The first question I would ask is, How do we know it is a pinched nerve? It is usually something causing the inflammatory response and that it giving you the radiating pain. Yes I would get a full exam and set of x-rays. Chiropractor is well trained in this aspect.
Yes this sounds like an issue that I frequently treat in my office. I believe Chiropractic would be helpful to you.
A "pinched" nerve means paralyzed. You'll need a neurosurgeon for a pinched nerve.
Short answer: yes. Any time you have pain or discomfort, it is a good idea to have this professionally evaluated. Chiropractics is one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to address your health.
I feel that you should go see your chiropractor for a consultation and exam. This would better confirm if chiropractic can help.
