Medically reviewed by Dr. Justin Bergin, DC Updated September 18, 2026
Why do the calls to this office start with a bad night?
The hand went dead again at two in the morning, or the calf burned until you got up and walked the hallway.
Somewhere in the small hours the thought arrives that this might be a stroke, or the start of something neurological. By breakfast it has settled into a worry nobody wants to say out loud to their spouse.
So what is a nerve root under pressure actually doing?
Here is the useful part. A nerve root under pressure in the neck or the low back produces exactly that. It sends symptoms into a limb, along a specific line of numbness, with hours when it is worse.
It is common, it is mechanical, and it is examinable.
What does the first visit at Lady Lake settle?
Dr. Justin Bergin, DC works out which root, at which level, and whether the nerve is irritated or losing strength.
If the findings point somewhere other than a chiropractic office, you hear that at the first visit.
A pinched nerve is a spinal nerve root under pressure where it leaves the neck or the low back. The signal turns unreliable, so you feel pain, tingling, numbness or weakness along that nerve's path rather than at the spot being squeezed. Care at this address is non-surgical and drug-free, and it starts by locating the level. The first visit is $47.
This page covers The Villages specifically. The neutral pinched nerve page covers the clinical picture for both offices.
Symptoms
What The Villages patients describe when they call this office.
- A hand that goes dead holding the wheel or a club
- Burning down the back of one calf after a few holes
- Waking at two in the morning to shake an arm awake
- Numbness in particular fingers or particular toes
- An electric jolt when you turn your head a certain way
- Dropping a coffee cup or fumbling a zip
- Symptoms spiking when you cough or sneeze
- Relief from resting the arm on top of your head
- One leg giving way slightly on a curb
Common causes
Arthritic narrowing of the opening the nerve uses
Bone spurs and thickened ligament close down the small exit a root travels through. This builds over decades, so it is a common version in a retired population, and the first sign is usually stiffness rather than pain.
A disc bulging toward the root
Disc material moves into space that was never spare and presses on the nerve beside it. It does not take much contact. Mild, steady pressure is enough to make the signal misbehave.
Disc height quietly disappearing
As a disc dehydrates it flattens, and the openings above and below close with it. Nothing tore and nothing happened. The space simply shrank, and that is why a patient here may not be able to name a moment it started.
One position held far too often
A golf swing repeated four mornings a week, an hour a day looking down at a tablet, or a long drive with the seat too far back keeps the same segment loaded the same way. The tissue adapts, and not in your favor.
An old injury the spine worked around
A fall, a collision or a surgery years ago changed how one segment moves. The neighboring level has been covering for it ever since, and that is usually the level where the nerve gets caught.
How we treat it at our Lady Lake office
The examination comes first, because arm and leg symptoms have several possible sources and they are treated differently. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC maps where the numbness sits, tests reflexes and strength, and checks the neck even when only the leg is complaining. The plan that follows takes pressure off the level involved and gets the guarding segments moving again.
Decompression where a disc is crowding the root
Computer-controlled traction applied to the segment the examination identified, so pressure comes off the disc and the opening the nerve uses. You stay dressed and you drive yourself home afterwards, which matters when nobody in the house is keen to give up a morning.
Electroanalgesia for a nerve that stays loud
Neuromed delivers targeted electrical waveforms at the pain signalling itself. It earns a place when the nerve keeps firing after the mechanical pressure has been dealt with, and it suits people who would rather not add another tablet to a list that is already long.
Chiropractic care for the segments that stopped moving
Specific adjustment of the levels above and below the involved one, so a narrowed opening is not also fighting a joint that has given up rotating. Technique is chosen for the spine in front of him, with lower-force options used freely at this office. This part bills insurance, verified first.

The Villages questions
Tap a message for the honest answer. Call The Villages (352) 915-7150
My hand goes numb on the wheel and on the golf club. Is that a nerve in my neck?
It might be, and it might be the wrist or the elbow instead, which is why the pattern matters more than the sensation. A neck root sends symptoms along one line into particular fingers and often changes with head position. A wrist entrapment tends to hit the thumb side of the hand, wakes you at night and eases when you shake the hand out. The examination separates the two by testing rather than guessing, and the answer changes the treatment completely.
How do I know this is not a stroke?
Treat that question seriously rather than sleeping on it. Call 911 for anything that arrives suddenly: weakness down one whole side, a drooping face, slurred or muddled speech, sudden loss of vision, a severe headache that came from nowhere, or trouble with balance and coordination. Those need an emergency department, not a chiropractic office, and not on Monday. Nerve root symptoms behave differently. They build over days or weeks, follow one limb rather than one side of the body, and change with position.
Is Dr. Bergin the one who examines me at Lady Lake?
Yes. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC is the clinician at this address and has 22 years in practice. He treats here Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Tuesday and Friday are by appointment, and the office is closed Saturday and Sunday. If your week will not bend to those days, see the Lakeland office and the days it treats and ask the front desk what that drive involves before you commit to it.
Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?
No referral is needed to be examined here. Whether you need someone else as well depends on the findings. Symptoms that came on suddenly, weakness that is getting worse week by week, or anything affecting one whole side of the body belong with a physician or a neurologist first, and you will be told so plainly. Some patients at this office are under a specialist already, and care here runs alongside theirs rather than around them.
Will Medicare pay for pinched nerve care?
Coverage varies by plan and by service. Chiropractic care at ChiroMed bills insurance, and the front desk verifies your benefits before the first visit, Medicare and Medicare Advantage included. Device-based additions such as decompression are handled separately and quoted to you in advance. You are told which part of a plan sits inside your benefit and which does not before anything is scheduled. Payment plans are available for self-pay care.
Can I get to you by cart, and where do I leave it?
Patients do travel this way. Cart paths and crossings around the CR 466 junction change often enough that a route written here would go stale, so call (352) 915-7150 and the front desk will talk you through the way in from your village and where to leave the cart. If you drive, parking is on the level directly outside suite 404, with no garage and no steps between the car and the door.
