Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can be caused by various factors, including herniated discs, bone spurs, spinal stenosis, or even injuries. The affected nerve root then sends signals of pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along its pathway, which can radiate into the extremities.

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

The symptoms of radiculopathy vary depending on the location of the affected nerve root. However, common symptoms include:

• Sharp, shooting, or burning pain that radiates along the nerve pathway.
• Numbness or tingling in the affected area.
• Muscle weakness.
• Decreased reflexes.
• Pain that worsens with certain movements, such as coughing, sneezing, or straining.

At Commonwealth Pain & Spine Frankfort, our experienced physicians will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose your radiculopathy. This evaluation may include:

• A detailed medical history and physical examination.
• Neurological assessment to evaluate reflexes, muscle strength, and sensation.
• 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 assess nerve function.
