Radicular discomfort is a concern that results when something goes wrong with the nerve roots in your vertebrae and Back Pain Chiropractic helps several clients from the Texarkana community that are dealing with this. These nerves deliver messages from your brain to the rest of your body and when they’re injured it can lead to discomfort, numbness, tingling and other problems. Radicular pain can be extremely unmanageable to your life, making it difficult to do even the simplest tasks.
There are several likely causes of radicular issues, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a usual cause of radicular pain and result when the soft inner material of the disc protrudes out through a break in the outer casing. This can put pressure on the neighboring nerve roots and cause discomfort. Spinal stenosis is a condition that results when the spaces within your spine become tapered, which can also lead to pressure on the nerve roots. Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips out of place and onto the bone below it, which can also make pressure on the nerve roots.
Radicular pain can be caused by an injury like a auto collision or can result from aging and degeneration. As we age, our discs and spine become less flexible and that can result in nerve discomfort.
Chiropractors are skilled to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the vertebrae and nervous system. Back Pain Chiropractic in Texarkana uses many different techniques including adjustments, manipulation and massage to help lessen discomfort and build up function.
