Lumbar Radiculopathy
Lumbar radiculopathy refers to a condition characterized by the compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the lumbar spine, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates from the lower back down the legs. It is commonly caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. The compression or inflammation of the nerve roots can result in symptoms specific to the affected nerve, such as sciatica when the sciatic nerve is involved. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging. Treatment options may include pain management techniques, physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the affected nerve roots and alleviate symptoms.
