How Do I Know if I have Radiculopathy?
Symptoms of radiculopathy are similar to symptoms of a pinched nerve. They usually involve numbness, weakness, tingling, or pins and needles sensations felt in the area and the extremities the nerve path leads to. The longer that this condition remains untreated the more serious it will get. In the late stages of radiculopathy, patients will start to lose motor function, reflexes will begin to be impaired, and radiating pain will worsen.

What is the Right Treatment for Me?
Treatment for radiculopathy involves relieving the compression of the affected nerve. This can be accomplished in many ways, but the usual methods would include anti-inflammatory medications, exercises to build the muscles in the back (better support), and physical therapy. Only once conservative treatments have been exhausted should surgery be considered.
