We have helped many auto accident patients in the surrounding Snellville community area. During an accident, your body is subjected to large forces that it simply wasn't built to handle. These forces place strain and stresses on your neck, shoulders, and back and can actually cause injury to the ligaments that hold your spine together. An auto accident can cause a wide variety of painful symptoms including neck pain, back pain, headaches, pain in the arms and/or legs and even post-traumatic concussion syndrome.

Radiating Pain from Whiplash
Radicular pain, or radiating pain, is triggered by obstruction or  squeezing of the spinal nerves. This causes you to have pain, tingling,  or numbness in areas of your body far from the real origin of the  problem.
If your spine is damaged during a motor vehicle accident there are a variety of things that can affect the nerves.
Damaged ligaments and muscular tissues can cause inflammation of the  nerve root, which can alter the performance of the nerve. If a spinal  disc is injured it can cause the disc to protrude or herniate, pinching the nerve. If the spinal joints begin to calcify, it can cause  spinal stenosis, or a narrowing of the passage that the spinal nerves  travel through.
The answer to eliminating radicular pain is to  pinpoint the exact origin of the problem causing the compression and  then work to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
If you've been in a motor vehicle accident and have symptoms of radicular pain, Dr. Sandels is here to help. We can help by establishing the root cause of your problem  and formulating a plan of action to help you restore your health.
