Well, a few new studies add more insight:

1 - As a disc degenerates it becomes more heavily supplied with nerves. Nerves are sensitive. The more nerves, the more pain we’ll experience. (1)

2 - A pinched nerve, or as a new research report terms a compressed dorsal root ganglion, can lead to actual death of the nerve. (2)

3 - Nerve irritation in the spine can lead to weak muscles, muscle tremors, and urinary incontinence. (3) See your Richmond chiropractor for an examination if you suffer from these conditions. He or she may have help for you.
