Chiropractic Helps Relieve Disc Herniation Problems After Car Crashes

Radicular issues is a condition that happens when something fails with the nerve roots in the vertebrae and Montero Chiropractic Clinic treats quite a few clients from the Yuma region that are dealing with this. These nerves deliver messages from your brain to the rest of your body and when they’re irritated it can lead to discomfort, numbness, tingling and other problems. Radicular pain can be especially troublesome to your life, making it hard to do even the easiest tasks.

There are quite a few possible causes of radicular discomfort, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a common cause of radicular pain and result when the soft inner material of the disc bulges out through a crack in the outer casing. This can put pressure on the adjacent nerve roots and cause problems. Spinal stenosis is a condition that takes place when the spaces within your spine 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 below it, which can also cause pressure on the nerve roots.

Radicular pain can be caused by trauma like a car wreck or can develop from aging and degeneration. As we age, our discs and vertebrae become less flexible and that can result in nerve issues.
