Call (859) 587-6102 or contact us online today to learn more about radiculopathy pain management in Lexington, KY.

Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in your spine becomes compressed or irritated. This often happens due to age-related changes like herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis.  These conditions can narrow the spaces where nerves exit the spinal column, putting pressure on the delicate nerve roots.  The location of the pinched nerve determines where you experience symptoms.  Cervical radiculopathy affects the neck and arms, while lumbar radiculopathy impacts the lower back and legs (often referred to as sciatica).

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

The hallmark symptom of radiculopathy is radiating pain.  This pain can be sharp, burning, or electric-like, and it often travels along the path of the affected nerve.  Other common symptoms include:

  • Numbness or tingling in the affected area
  • Muscle weakness
  • Changes in sensation (e.g., pins and needles)
  • Pain that worsens with certain movements (e.g., coughing, sneezing, or bending)

  • Physical Therapy: A physical therapist can teach you exercises to improve posture, strengthen supporting muscles, and increase flexibility. They can also employ modalities like heat, ice, and ultrasound to manage pain.
