What is Radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the spine is compressed or irritated, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness along the path of the nerve. It can occur in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine, depending on the affected area.
Symptoms of Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy symptoms vary depending on the location of the affected nerve but commonly include:
-
Pain – Sharp or burning pain radiating along the nerve path, such as down the arm or leg.
-
Weakness – Muscle weakness in the area served by the compressed nerve.
-
Numbness or tingling – A sensation of pins and needles in the affected limb.
-
Reduced reflexes – In some cases, reflexes in the affected area may diminish.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, schedule an appointment with Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.
Causes of Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy can result from a variety of spinal issues, including:
-
Herniated discs – A bulging disc may press against the nerve root.
-
Bone spurs – Overgrowth of bone due to arthritis can compress the nerves.
-
Spinal stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on nerve roots.
-
Injury – Trauma to the spine may lead to nerve root compression.
Our team at Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences specializes in diagnosing the underlying causes of radiculopathy to create targeted treatment plans.
What Happens if Radiculopathy Goes Untreated?
Without treatment, radiculopathy can lead to worsening symptoms and long-term complications, such as:
-
Chronic pain
-
Permanent nerve damage
-
Muscle weakness or atrophy
-
Loss of mobility
