Radiculopathy Articles

The term "radiculopathy" is used by medical professionals to describe all of the symptoms that stem from nerve compression. When a nerve root in the spinal column becomes compressed, impinged, or irritated, pain can manifest in a number of ways. The patient may experience local pain in the back or neck; muscle weakness, tingling or numbness in the extremities; or even notice that pain is radiating (or traveling) along the affected nerve. Typically, these symptoms can be managed non-surgically, but occasionally a doctor may recommend surgical intervention if conservative treatments have proven ineffective.

To learn more about the causes, symptoms, locations, and treatment of radiculopathy, we have compiled the following articles for your review:

An alternative to traditional open-back surgery lies at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). At LSI, our award-winning staff of spine surgeons performs a number of minimally invasive, outpatient endoscopic back and neck surgeries to treat the source of a patient’s radiculopathy. Contact LSI for more information on radiculopathy or for a free review of your MRI or CT scan.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
