Pain
Radicular pain, or radiating pain, is caused by interference or pinching of the spinal nerves. This results in pain, tingling, or numbness in parts of your body far from the actual source of the problem. If your spine is injured, there are a number of things that can affect the nerves and cause pain.
Relief Is Closer Than It Seems
However, it doesn’t have to be all bad news. Over the years, we have treated thousands of patients, and a very high percentage have found their way back to recovery – even when it seemed there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Cause of your pain
Injured ligaments and muscles can cause inflammation of the nerve root, which can disrupt the function of the nerve. If a spinal disc is damaged, it can cause the disc to bulge or herniate, pinching the nerve. And if the spinal joints begin to calcify, it can cause spinal stenosis, or a narrowing of the canal that the spinal nerves pass through. All this can lead to a number of conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, low-back pain, shoulder pain, and more. It’s crucial to treat these conditions to prevent further nerve damage or worsening symptoms. The key to treating radicular pain is to pinpoint its source in the spine. After determining the root of your pain, a course of treatment which may include adjustments will be devised to relieve pressure on the impinged nerves. This allows the nerves to heal by reducing inflammation and irritation. Multiple studies have confirmed the efficacy of chiropractic adjustments in alleviating radicular pain. If you’re looking for a natural, effective pain relief, the Ipswich Spine Clinic could help.
