Medical preparations for radiculitis treatment

It is well known that the quality of human life depends on the condition of the spine. This is due to the fact that the spinal cord is located in the spinal canal with numerous nerves departing from it. The integrity of these nerves, as well as the spinal cord itself, allows you to regulate the work of the whole organism and lead an active lifestyle. Damage to the spinal nerves can lead to catastrophic consequences, paralyzing a person. Inflammation or squeezing of nerves from the spinal cord often leads to the development of radiculitis.
