Radicular Pain Treatment

Radicular pain is a type of nerve pain that radiates from the spine. An injury or inflammation can cause it to any part of the spine, but usually, it is caused by compression in one of the spinal vertebrae. The Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., offers Radicular Pain treatment with techniques such as chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue massage therapy that target specific parts of your body like your back, neck, and hips for relief to get you on track again!

Causes of Radicular Pain

There are many different causes of Radicular Pain. A herniated disc is usually the cause of pain in the buttocks, lower back, and even down one leg. Lumbar Radiculopathy is caused by compression, damage, or inflammation of the spinal nerve root in the lower back. Degenerative disc disease, spinal nerve root compression, bone spurs, lumbar disc herniations, and many other diseases can cause this form of chronic pain.

Symptoms of Radicular Pain

When compressed nerve roots are inflamed, you feel a pinch-like sensation in the nerve root in the spinal column. Several unpleasant symptoms may ensue, including:

 

  • Even something as basic as sneezing and coughing can cause sharp discomfort in your back, arms, legs, or shoulders.
  • Inability to move the arms or legs
  • “Pins & needles” or other abnormal sensations (paresthesia) in the arms or legs are examples of numbness.

Physical Exercises

Our chiropractor can train you through physical exercises that are important in recovering from radicular pain because they will provide a way for your muscles around the affected area to relax while being strengthened simultaneously, which will alleviate pressure from irritated nerves.

Weight-Loss Strategy

When you’ve suffered a soft-tissue neck injury or radicular pain, we at Richmond Hill Chiropractor recommend a soft cervical collar to be worn for a brief length of time. Radiculopathy caused by intervertebral stenosis can be treated with a wide collar worn posteriorly and a narrow collar worn front to stimulate neck flexion and discourage extension while opening the intervertebral foramina.

Ice And Heat Application

Extreme pain might be relieved for some people by applying an ice pack or warm gel pack. A protective layer should be used when applying cold or heat therapy, and applications should be limited to every 15 to 20 minutes, with a two-hour gap in between.

Manual manipulation

Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON. will manually manipulate your spine to reduce pressure on the nerves and help you get relief from pain! These techniques are very gentle but can be very helpful for people with radicular pain.
