Nerve Root Compression

Nerve root compression can be a result of disease or injury. Any compromise of the nerve space in the spinal column can lead to compression of the nerve endings. Regardless of the cause, the result is usually the same--pain. Pain is sent from the source through the spinal cord nerves to the brain, where pain is interpreted. Before resolution can be obtained, it is crucial to determine the specific location in the spine where the compression exists.

If the nerve root pain is acute at the onset, it is usually a result from an accident or trauma to the spinal column. Common causes are automobile accidents and falls. If the pain begins intermittently and progressively becomes worse, it may be disease related, the result of degenerative disc disease or arthritis. Regardless of the origin, successful treatment options are available.
