Radicular issues is a condition that happens when something fails with the nerve roots in the back bone and Back Pain Chiropractic sees many people from the Texarkana area who are suffering with this. These nerves deliver 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 extremely unmanageable to your life, making it difficult to do even the simplest tasks.
There are several possible causes of radicular discomfort, 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 break in the outer casing. This puts pressure on the adjacent nerve roots and cause discomfort. Spinal stenosis is a condition that develops 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 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 car accident or can develop from aging and degeneration. As we get older, our discs and spinal column have reduced flexibility and that can result in nerve discomfort.
