Radiculopathy (Cervical / Lumbar)

Radiculopathy happens when a nerve coming out of the spine gets irritated or compressed. In the cervical (neck) region, it can cause pain that travels into the arms, while lumbar (lower back) radiculopathy often sends pain down the legs. This nerve pressure may come from a disc problem, muscle tightness, or swelling around the spine. The pain can feel sharp, burning, or numb — and if ignored, it can slowly limit your ability to move freely. Getting the right treatment early helps protect the nerve and restore smooth, pain-free motion.

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

You may notice:

• Sharp, shooting pain in the arm or leg

• Tingling or numbness in the fingers, hands, feet, or toes

• Muscle weakness in the affected limb

• Pain that worsens with bending, twisting, or sitting

• Reduced grip strength or difficulty lifting objects (in cervical cases)

Types of Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy can show up in a few forms:

• Cervical Radiculopathy: Pain, numbness, or weakness radiating into the shoulder, arm, or hand

• Lumbar Radiculopathy: Pain traveling through the buttock, thigh, or leg

• Acute Radiculopathy: Sudden, severe nerve irritation

• Chronic Radiculopathy: Long-lasting or recurring symptoms

Treatment and Process

Treatment starts with identifying the root cause — whether it’s a bulging disc, nerve compression, or inflammation. We use non-surgical methods like targeted physiotherapy, nerve-glide exercises, electrotherapy, spinal mobility training, and posture correction. These techniques reduce nerve pressure, ease pain, and strengthen supporting muscles so your spine stays stable and flexible. Each plan is fully personalized to your symptoms and recovery phase.

Long-Term Effects of Delaying Treatment

Delaying care can keep the nerve irritated for too long, leading to sustained numbness, recurring pain, and progressive muscle weakness. Over time, daily tasks become harder, and the nerve may take much longer to heal. In severe cases, long-standing compression can cause permanent changes in sensation or movement.
