Radiculopathy refers to a condition that occurs when a spinal nerve root is compressed or irritated, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the pathway of the affected nerve. Radiculopathy commonly arises from conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or spinal tumors. The specific symptoms experienced depend on the location of the affected nerve root. Radiculopathy can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing discomfort and limiting mobility. Prompt diagnosis and effective management are crucial for relieving symptoms and preventing long-term complications.
