Signs It’s Time to See a Spine Specialist
There is never a bad time to see a spine specialist, as spinal health is integral to your overall health and wellbeing. Between really busy lives, though, and the propensity to try to push through pain, most people don’t schedule an appointment until it’s necessary. Unfortunately, this could mean that you are suffering through pain and health conditions that you don’t have to. At Creekside Chiropractic & Healing Arts in Albany, NY, Dr. Genstil and Dr. Singer want to help you live your best possible life. Below they share some of the top signs that you should see a spine specialist, even if nothing seems to be wrong.
You Live In Pain
Some people live in chronic pain because they think they can deal with it. Others have sought pain relief unsuccessfully, eventually resigning themselves to believing nothing can be done. Don’t give up. Pain is often caused by an issue in the spinal column, and restoring spinal health can kick it to the curb.
You’ve Been in an Accident
Often, we don’t notice pain or other symptoms right after an accident. And sometimes, we don’t notice them at all – at least not in the way we suspect we should. For example, an accident might cause a disc to herniate and impact a nerve. You might not feel pain, but that compressed nerve could lead to other issues. It’s important to see a spine specialist after any type of accident, even if you don’t feel pain.
You Can’t Move As Well As You Once Did
If your range of motion is limited or your balance is off, it’s likely due to an issue in the musculoskeletal system. Addressing that issue can get you back to normal – or even better than you were before.
You’re Experiencing Numbness and Tingling
Misalignment can lead to a compressed nerve. And nerve compression can cause numbness and tingling in the extremities, back, shoulders, and more.
