What Causes Arm and Hand Pain After An Auto Accident?

How To Get Rid Of It Fast Without Drugs Or Surgery...

Radiating pain from the neck into the shoulders, arms or hands is a common occurrence after an auto accident.  When you have suffered a "whiplash" injury to the neck, the nerves that branch off of the spinal cord in the neck control arm and hand function.  When these nerves get pinched from the accident, you may experience pain, numbness, tingling or even loss of strength in the arms or hands.  The medical term for this is "radiculopathy", which can be a serious condition if not treated properly.

A trained physician can diagnose the cause of your radiculopathy in a few minutes, with some basic orthopedic and neurological tests.  It is also beneficial, and most likely necessary, to have a diagnostic MRI study performed to further evaluate any serious conditions that may have been caused by your accident.

The most important thing to do with radiculopathy, is get check immediately.  Waiting for it to get better is a common mistake made by many people after an auto accident.  Waiting can cause the irritated nerve to shut down or may lead to permanent nerve damage.

We are "pinched nerve" specialists and we use gentle, non-surgical techniques to un-pinch nerves, allowing a natural healing process without drugs or surgery.  I you have been injured in an auto accident in Florida, you only have 14 days from the date of your accident to initiate treatment.
