Radicular pain is a condition that takes place when something goes wrong with the nerve roots in your back bone and Silver Chiropractic & Wellness sees a lot of people from the Jacksonville community who 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 pain, numbness, tingling and other problems. Radicular pain can be very troublesome to your life, making it an issue to do even the simplest tasks.
There are a lot of likely causes of radicular pain, that include herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a regular cause of radicular pain and occur when the soft inner material of the disc bulges out through a split in the outer casing. This puts pressure on the nearby nerve roots and cause problems. Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spaces within your spinal column 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 under it, which can also make pressure on the nerve roots.
Radicular pain can be caused by an injury like a car crash or can result from aging and degeneration. As we get older, our discs and vertebrae become less flexible and that can result in nerve issues.
