Lumbar Radiculopathy

Lumbar radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve root in the lower back becomes compressed, inflamed, or damaged, leading to symptoms that radiate along the path of the nerve. This can include sharp pain, tingling, weakness, or numbness in the legs and feet, depending on which lumbar nerve is affected.

Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination and imaging studies such as MRI. Treatment focuses on relieving nerve pressure through a combination of physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and spinal manipulation when appropriate.
