A car accident can cause radicular issues, which is discomfort that radiates out from the site of the injury. The problems may be caused by several factors, including harm to the spinal ligaments, a bulging disc, or swelling of the spine.
The anatomy of radicular pain can be complicated, but mostly, it is caused by pressure on the nerves that run along your spine. Your spinal nerves are what permits your brain to communicate with your body, so it's vital to make sure those pathways are working properly.
Radiating pain can interfere with a person's life in many ways. The pain may make it burdensome to sleep, to concentrate, or to engage in everyday activities. In some cases, the problem may be so bad that the person is not able to work or even leave the house.
Chiropractic Treatment has been shown to be an effective treatment for radicular discomfort. By restoring the normal function of the spine, chiropractic therapy can help to ease the pressure on the nerves that is causing radicular pain.
Chiropractic works by gently adjusting the spine to improve alignment and lighten pressure on the nerves. This allows the body to heal naturally and can provide relief from radicular aching.
