Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the spine becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can be caused by various factors, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or other degenerative changes. The affected nerve root sends signals throughout the body, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness along the nerve's pathway.

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

The symptoms of radiculopathy vary depending on the location of the affected nerve root. Common symptoms include:

  • Radiating pain that follows the path of the affected nerve.
  • Numbness or tingling in the affected area.
  • Muscle weakness.
  • Loss of reflexes.
  • "Pins and needles" sensation.

  • Medical History Review: Discussing your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.
  • Physical Examination: Assessing your reflexes, muscle strength, and range of motion.
  • Imaging Studies: Such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, to visualize the spine and identify any abnormalities.
  • Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): To evaluate nerve function and identify nerve damage.
