What is radiculopathies?

Radiculopathy refers to a condition caused by the compression, inflammation, or injury of spinal nerves as they exit the spinal column. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the path of the affected nerve. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. Treatment often involves physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the affected nerve root.
