About Millville Femoral Nerve Root Pain and Millville Chiropractic Care


Of all things, the front of your thigh feels numb and tingly! What is that all about? Well, the spinal cord actually sends a set of special nerves to control the front of the thigh and leg...and they're irritated!


leg pain that affects the front of the thigh or leg

Femoral nerve root pain is generally seen in the patient over 50 years as degeneration in the lower spinal segments has taken its course and the upper lumbar segments are now doing much of the work of the spine. The L1, L2 and L3 nerves are likely being compressed, causing the pain down the front of the thigh or leg. 
This nerve is different than the sciatic nerve as it causes a different pain distribution than the sciatic nerve. (The femoral nerve's main symptom -- front of thigh pain -- makes your diagnosis much easier to discover!) The femoral nerve is inflamed by the same mechanisms as the sciatic nerve
