Chiropractic Treats Disc Herniation Problems After Car Accidents

Radicular pain is an issue that happens when something goes wrong with the nerve roots in your spinal column and Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes helps quite a few men and women from the State College area that are suffering with this. These nerves deliver messages from your brain to the rest of your body and when they’re irritated it can lead to pain, numbness, tingling and other problems. Radicular pain can be tremendously unmanageable to your life, making it hard to do even the easiest tasks.

There are quite a few probable causes of radicular discomfort, that include herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a frequent cause of radicular pain and take place when the soft inner tissue of the disc protrudes out through a gap in the outer casing. This puts pressure on the nearby nerve roots and cause problems. Spinal stenosis is a condition that results when the spaces within your vertebrae narrow, 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 under it, which can also create pressure on the nerve roots.

Radicular pain can be caused by trauma like a auto injury or can result from aging and degeneration. As we age, our discs and spinal column have reduced flexibility and that can result in nerve discomfort.
