Searching for effective thoracic radiculopathy treatment in the Fullerton area? Thoracic radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve root becomes compressed in the thoracic area of the spine or the upper back. This is the least common of locations for radiculopathy or a compressed nerve. Full Range Spine & Ortho provides non-invasive thoracic radiculopathy treatment at clinic in Fullerton, CA.
Symptoms of thoracic radiculopathy normally include pain and numbness in the upper back that wraps around the upper body. Thoracic radiculopathy is often a result of spinal stenosis in the upper spine. It is commonly seen as a result of foraminal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the openings in the spine where nerves travel out from the spine to other parts of the body.
This condition can often be the result of tumors, bone spurs, herniated discs or spinal osteoarthritis. Pain can be sharp at times, especially with activity. Sufferers can also experience weakness or loss of reflexes in the arms or legs. Thoracic radiculopathy can also often be found with myelopathy, which is a compression of the spine.
