Lumbar Radiculopathy: Understanding Nerve Compression

Lumbar radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root in the lower back is compressed, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. This compression can cause lower back pain along with numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the legs and feet.

Managing lumbar radiculopathy typically involves relieving pressure on the nerve. Conservative treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and medications are often effective. In severe cases, surgery may be required. Early diagnosis and proper care can help restore function and prevent long-term nerve damage in the lower back.
