Radicular Pain Treatment in Houston
Pinpointing and treating nerve pain at the source.
Why It Matters After an Accident
Radicular pain happens when nerves leaving the spine are irritated or compressed. Radicular pain can occur in the arms or legs, depending on which spinal region is affected.
Common Symptoms
- Sharp, shooting pain along a nerve path
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Acute loss of bowel or bladder function
Treatment Options
- MRI testing to determine the extent of spinal injuries
- Spinal adjustments & decompression
- Targeted injections (epidural, nerve blocks)
- Rehab programs to restore function
- NCU/EMG (nerve conduction velocity test/electromyography test to determine the extent and location of nerve damage)
