Neck Pain? Pain That Radiates?

Neck Pain? Pain That Radiates?

By Dr. Elliot Lysyk, DC ~ Vernon BC Chiropractor

When small nerves in your neck get pinched, pain can run into your shoulders, down your arms, and even into your hands if the pinch is bad enough. On x-ray, we can see the little holes between the spinal bones, and sometimes they appear much smaller in certain places. This is usually where nerves can get trapped.

This pressure on the nerves can also lead to pins and needles in certain areas of your arms or hands, depending on which nerve is affected. It can also cause arm and hand weakness.

Picture your spine as a circuit board that relays nerve information from your brain to your body and back. Misalignments in the vertebrae can affect the nerves that feed "downstream".

Our success with conditions like neck pain, and pain that radiates, stems from our goal of balancing your spine's alignment and reducing the nerve tension pattern in the body. The philosophy is really quite simple, and the results can change your life!
