Numbness and Radiating Pain

At Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness in Lake Worth, FL, radiating pain and numbness are frequently addressed with several clients. Most people come in reporting numbness, pain, or tingling in specific parts of the body. Our chiropractor will examine you to determine the true source of the problem. These symptoms are a common problem for clients with auto accident injuries.

Effects of an Auto Accident Injury

The impact of an auto accident injury can vary depending on the collision's severity, the type of injuries sustained, and the overall health and resilience of the individual. If pain or tingling is felt in the legs, spinal injury could be causing the problem. This injury can affect the nerves in several ways, such as:

Spinal Disc Damage

Damaged spinal discs can begin to bulge or become herniated. This damage results in pinching the nerves. This pinching creates the numbness and tingling that patients with this condition feel in the legs and lower back.

Injury to the Muscles or Ligaments 

Any damage to ligaments and muscles will create inflammation around the nerves. This inflammation disrupts the ability to function properly, resulting in pain, numbness, or tingling.

Spinal Stenosis

This condition is when the joints in the spine begin to calcify. Spinal stenosis narrows the canals that nerves travel through, causing pain. These issues can be treated with chiropractic care, even if it results from an auto accident injury.
