Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the spine becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Herniated discs: A ruptured disc can press on the nerve root.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerves.
  • Bone spurs: Extra bone growth can impinge on nerves.
  • Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine can lead to nerve compression.
  • Trauma: Injuries to the spine can damage nerve roots.

The location of the affected nerve root determines the area of the body where symptoms occur. Cervical radiculopathy affects the neck and arms, while lumbar radiculopathy affects the lower back and legs (often referred to as sciatica).

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

Common symptoms of radiculopathy include:

  • Radiating pain that travels down an arm or leg.
  • Numbness or tingling in the affected limb.
  • Muscle weakness.
  • Changes in reflexes.
  • "Pins and needles" sensations.

The severity of symptoms can vary widely, from mild discomfort to severe pain that significantly impacts daily life.

Diagnostic Procedures

To accurately diagnose radiculopathy, we may employ the following diagnostic procedures:

  • Physical examination: A thorough assessment of your symptoms and neurological function.
  • Imaging studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the spine and identify potential causes of nerve compression.
  • Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS): Tests to evaluate the function of nerves and muscles.

Treatment Options

Our treatment plans are tailored to each patient's specific needs and 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 around the nerve root.
