What is Radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy occurs when one or more nerves are affected and fail to work properly. This condition can result from various factors, including spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and bone spurs, leading to symptoms in the neck (cervical radiculopathy), upper limb (thoracic radiculopathy), or lower back and legs (lumbar radiculopathy).
