Description

Spine Radiculopathy, or a pinched nerve, occurs when a nerve root in the spinal column is compressed or irritated, causing symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that radiate from the spine to the affected body part. This condition can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine and is often caused by conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or arthritis. Treatment varies from conservative options like physical therapy to more invasive procedures like epidural injections or surgery, depending on the severity and cause.
