Pinched Nerve and Spinal Nerve Root Treatment in Orlando, FL
An injured or diseased spinal nerve root, often called a pinched nerve or radiculopathy, happens when a nerve leaving the spine is compressed or inflamed by a herniated disc, bone spur, degenerated disc or injury, causing radiating pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms or legs. Orlando Spine and Wellness Center treats nerve root pain without surgery using spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments and Class IV laser therapy.
What Is a Spinal Nerve Root?
Nerve roots branch off the spinal cord and exit between the vertebrae to carry signals to your arms, legs and organs. Because the openings are small, swelling, disc material or bone spurs can easily compress them. Nerve root irritation in the neck is called cervical radiculopathy, and in the lower back it is called lumbar radiculopathy, which often causes sciatica.
Nerve root irritation in the neck is called cervical radiculopathy.
Nerve root irritation in the lower back is called lumbar radiculopathy, which often causes sciatica.
