Radicular discomfort is an issue that happens when something goes wrong with the nerve roots in the back bone and Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation treats a lot of clients from the Harrisburg region that are dealing with this. These nerves send 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 very unmanageable to your life, making it difficult to do even the simplest tasks.
There are a lot of probable causes of radicular pain, that include herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a recurrent cause of radicular pain and occur when the soft inner material of the disc protrudes out through a crack in the outer casing. This can put duress on the close by nerve roots and cause discomfort. Spinal stenosis is a condition that develops when the spaces within your vertebrae are more slender, which can also lead to pressure on the nerve roots. Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra moves out of place and onto the bone beneath it, which can also make pressure on the nerve roots.
Radicular pain can be caused by an injury like a auto accident or can happen from aging and degeneration. As we age, our discs and spinal column have reduced flexibility and that can result in nerve problems.
