Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root, the part of a nerve that exits the spinal cord, is compressed, inflamed, or damaged. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, and arthritis. This compression can lead to a variety of symptoms, depending on the affected nerve root.

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

Symptoms of radiculopathy vary depending on the location and severity of the nerve compression. Common symptoms include:

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

Diagnosis at Commonwealth Pain & Spine Paducah

At Commonwealth Pain & Spine Paducah, our experienced pain management specialists will conduct a thorough physical examination and review your medical history to accurately diagnose radiculopathy. We may also utilize the following diagnostic tools:

  • Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, and CT scans can help visualize the spine and identify any structural abnormalities, such as herniated discs or bone spurs.
  • Electromyography (EMG): This test measures the electrical activity of muscles and nerves, helping to determine the extent of nerve damage.
  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): This test measures how quickly electrical signals travel along nerves, helping to identify nerve compression or damage.

Treatment Options for Radiculopathy

Our goal at Commonwealth Pain & Spine Paducah is to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve long-term pain relief. Treatment options may include:

  • Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
  • Medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and pain relievers.
  • Epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Rest, and activity modification.
