Radiculopathy

by Brian Hwang, MD | 4 years ago

Radiculopathy is the pinching of the nerve root, which can lead to pain, weakness, and numbness in the hands, arms, legs, or feet depending on the location of the nerve root. It is often caused by disc herniation and degenerative disc disease of the spine because the nerve roots live close to the discs. Most radiculopathies get better without procedures or surgeries.
