Understanding Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in your spine becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can stem from various causes, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or injuries. The affected nerve root sends signals throughout your body, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the areas it innervates.
Diagnosing Radiculopathy at Commonwealth Occupational Medicine
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. At Commonwealth Occupational Medicine in Louisville, our experienced physicians employ a thorough approach to identify the root cause of your radiculopathy. This process may involve:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: A detailed review of your symptoms and a physical assessment to evaluate your reflexes, muscle strength, and sensation.
- Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the spine and identify any structural abnormalities.
- Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Tests to assess the function of your nerves and muscles.
