Spinal Nerve-Root & Radicular Conditions

Pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into an arm or leg may involve a spinal nerve root, but similar symptoms can have other causes. A careful examination helps distinguish among possible sources.

What CNC may evaluate

  • Neurological examination findings
  • Strength, reflex, and sensory changes
  • Spinal movement and mechanical findings
  • Symptom distribution and aggravating factors
  • Imaging or referral needs when appropriate

How care is approached

When conservative care is appropriate, the plan may include chiropractic techniques, manual traction, neurological-based exercises, movement guidance, or other individualized approaches. Progressive weakness, bowel or bladder changes, saddle numbness, or other urgent neurological symptoms require prompt medical evaluation.
