Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy is a condition that occurs when a nerve in the spine becomes compressed or irritated, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness that radiates along the path of the affected nerve. At Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists, we provide expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options to help manage radiculopathy and alleviate its symptoms, so you can return to your daily activities with less discomfort.
Understanding Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy results from a problem with a nerve root as it exits the spinal column. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Herniated Disc: When the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer and presses on a nerve root.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: The breakdown of spinal discs over time, leading to reduced disc height and potential nerve compression.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve passageways, which can compress the nerves.
- Bone Spurs: Bony growths that can form on the spine and pinch nerve roots.
- Spondylolisthesis: A condition where a vertebra slips out of place, potentially impinging on nearby nerves.
