Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Disc Herniation Pain After Car Accidents

Depew Chiropractic Care Extremely Effective for Disc Herniation & Radicular Problems After Car Crashes

Radicular issues is a concern that results when something fails with the nerve roots in the vertebrae and Dr. Palmer sees quite a few men and women from the Depew community who are suffering with this. These nerves send messages from your brain to the rest of your body and when they’re injured it can lead to discomfort, numbness, tingling and other problems. Radicular pain can be hugely disruptive to your life, making it difficult to do even the easiest tasks.

There are quite a few possible causes of radicular discomfort, that include herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Herniated discs are a frequent cause of radicular pain and develop when the soft inner material of the disc protrudes out through a gap in the outer casing. This puts pressure on the neighboring nerve roots and cause pain. Spinal stenosis is a condition that happens 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 below it, which can also make pressure on the nerve roots.

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