Radiculopathy is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the nerve roots exiting the spine. These nerves control movement and sensation throughout the body, and when compromised, they can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling—often in the hands, arms, legs, or feet. If left untreated, radiculopathy can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
What Causes Radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy can develop due to various factors, including:
The most common areas affected by radiculopathy are the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back), resulting in discomfort and difficulty controlling certain muscle groups.
