Radiculitis

Radiculitis is inflammation and possible damage to a nerve as it exits the spinal cord and progresses into the arm or leg. The most common cause of inflammation of the nerve root is an arthritic process or a tear in the disc or facet joint capsule that spills toxic joint fluid on the nerve. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we offer non-invasive, non-surgical treatment options for those suffering from radiculitis.
 
Unless there are concerns of nerve death or other permanent injury to the patient, the first step for treating radiculitis should be through conservative and not surgical intervention. As a chiropractic practice, it is our goal to alleviate pain without resorting to surgery. Non-Surgical treatment for radiculitis includes the following:
  • Heat and/or cold therapy
  • Exercises to help strengthen your back
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Physical therapy combined with activity modification

Yours in Good Health,
