Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root, which branches off the spinal cord, is compressed or inflamed. This compression can be caused by various factors, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or other degenerative changes in the spine. The affected nerve root determines the location of the symptoms. For example, cervical radiculopathy affects the neck and arms, while lumbar radiculopathy affects the lower back and legs (often referred to as sciatica).

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

The symptoms of radiculopathy vary depending on the affected nerve root and the severity of the compression. Common symptoms include:

• Radiating pain that travels down the arm or leg
• Numbness or tingling in the affected limb
• Muscle weakness
• Decreased reflexes
• "Pins and needles" sensation
