Lumbar Radiculopathy
Lumbar Radiculopathy Treatment at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
Lumbar radiculopathy, often referred to as “sciatica,” is a condition where the nerves in the lower spine become compressed, irritated, or inflamed, leading to pain that radiates from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. This condition is caused by issues such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease, and it can lead to significant discomfort, weakness, and mobility issues.
Symptoms of Lumbar Radiculopathy
Symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy can vary depending on the severity of the nerve compression but may include:
- Sharp or Shooting Pain: Pain that radiates from the lower back down into the buttocks, thighs, and legs.
- Numbness or Tingling: Sensations of “pins and needles” in the legs or feet.
- Muscle Weakness: Weakness in the affected leg or foot, leading to difficulty walking or standing.
- Loss of Reflexes: Decreased or absent reflexes in the lower extremities.
- Pain with Movement: Increased pain when standing, sitting, or walking for extended periods.
