Radiating Pain to the Arms or Legs
While the pain may manifest itself in the arm or leg, it often originates in the spine. The anatomy of the spine includes both the bony vertebrae and the compressible intervertebral disk. Over time, the disks can develop degeneration, leading to loss of the disk’s internal water content and compromising it’s integrity. All of the innervation in the body’s extremities–your arms and legs–comes from the nerves that exit the cervical spine. This can result in a bulging or herniated (slipped) disk. Because of the spinal anatomy, the close proximity of the spinal nerves can result in pain along the course of the nerve, in the case of the cervical spine typically pain down the arm, and in the case of the lumbar spine pain running down the leg.
