Arm and hand secondary conditions, also called radicular symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, cold sensation, and weakness are frustrating because of their resistance to conventional treatments and a low success rate with surgical procedures. A look at the etiology of this problem reveals why this is the case.

Radicular symptoms in the upper extremity tend to arise when nerves and/or circulation are compromised somewhere along the course from where they leave the structure of the spine and traverse through interweaving networks of musculotendinous structures and through the joints of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The nerves and circulation become most vulnerable to compromise along this course when the structure is locked in a stress position and structural distortions like anterior head syndrome and shoulder tilting/rotation are present.

The ultimate step that is not addressed by conventional treatments and manipulation is locating and identifying the primary structural shift and the resulting nerve obstruction that is responsible for collapsing the structure into a stress position in the first place. 

By removing the primary structural shift and the associated nerve obstruction, NeuroStructural Correction initiates a recovery process that returns the structure to normal, removes structural distortions, and ultimately removes nerve or circulatory compromise so that secondary radicular symptoms can resolve.
