What is Neck and Back Radiculopathy?
Neck and back radiculopathy occurs when there is compression on the nerve roots that exit between each of the vertebrae which travel to different areas into our low back, buttock, and lower extremity. Herniated discs and/or arthritic bone spurs are often responsible for the compression on a nerve. Patients will typically experience severe pain in the low back, buttocks, and legs which often results in numbness and tingling into these areas.
