Referred pain is one of the most common conditions which chiropractors encounter in their profession. But it is also one of the strangest conditions they have been dealing with too. As the name suggests, the patient feels pain on a different area than the affected part. As chiropractors explain it, this condition happens when nerve of the affected tissue is mixed with the sensory nerve that produces the pain. The Dublin Chiropractor sometimes has difficulty in locating the exact affected area of the referred pain condition of a patient.
Referred pain is more commonly felt with headaches where a patient would feel pain to the base of the skull, top of the head, temples or forehead. And mostly the source of the problem is on the neck muscles. Chiropractors believe that confusion in the nerve pathways occur and as a result pain is felt on a different area than the affected one. There are other conditions where a patient would feel numbness or tingling sensation other than the usual pain.
Not all referred pain are caused by simple conditions. There are cases where referred pain can be a symptom of a serious disease. The Dublin Chiropractor was also able to observe this. One example is heart attack where the pain is usually felt on the left shoulder that would eventually go to the heart. Referred pain is not something that you can just ignore.
The chiropractors are the perfect doctors to seek when you are suffering from referred pain. They have skills to be able to locate the right location of the affected area. A treatment would restore the proper functions of the affected area and patients would instantly feel that that the pain is slowly disappearing. The treatment would also make the muscles stronger and nerves healthier so that there’s little chance that the same condition would come back.
