Is Your Arm Pain Stemming From Neck Issues?

Cervical radiculopathy is the medical term for when a spinal disc in your neck is irritating or compressing a nerve root, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm and hand. Specific neck movements may increase the pain. This can happen because of injury or degenerative changes in the spine. The good news is that over 95% of people get well with natural healthcare like Chiropractic.

The Importance of Addressing The Root Cause of Pain

A pinched nerve in your neck can cause a lot of pain, and it can be tempting to reach for medications to find relief. However, research shows us you may want to contact your Chiropractor before reaching for any pills. The Annals of Internal Medicine found that Chiropractic adjustments provided more pain relief than medications for people suffering from neck pain and the relief was long-lasting. The patients in the study experienced statistically significant relief up to 1 year after the initial treatment!

• Discs in your neck can compress or irritate your nerves causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Research has shown that adjustments were more effective than medication in the short and long-term.
• Chronic neck pain can be reduced by up to 75% or more after Chiropractic adjustments.
