Pinched Nerve in The Spine: Radiculopathy - Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

The spine consists of several individual bones known as vertebrae. These are interconnected together to form the spine. The spinal cord passes through a central canal in these vertebrae. From the spinal cord, the splitting of nerve roots occurs.

These roots travel between the bones of the spinal and different parts of the body. When the nerve root that leaves the spinal cord to other body parts becomes pinched, irritated, or damaged, it results in a medical condition known as radiculopathy. This condition is also known as a pinched nerve.

Types of Radiculopathy

Depending on where the condition happens in the spine, there are three types of radiculopathy. The symptoms of these types may range from mild to severe in individuals.

Cervical radiculopathy

Occurs due to pressure and compression of the nerve roots in the neck.

This portion of the spinal cord mainly affects the hands, arms, fingers, and shoulders.

Symptoms are usually visible in the hands and arms, which may include weakness or loss of sensation.

Lumbar radiculopathy

Occurs due to pressure and compression of the nerve roots in the lower back.

It may lead to sciatica, a condition that involves radiating pain in the sciatic nerve.

Thoracic radiculopathy

Occurs due to pressure and compression of the nerve roots in the upper back.

Chest pain is common in this condition.

There is a feeling of numbness and pain that moves to the front of the body in patients.

Causes of Radiculopathy and Risk Factors

Here are some of the commonly known causes of radiculopathy and the risk factors associated with it.

Change in size or shift in position of the tissues that surround the nerve root.

Herniated discs, also known as slip discs, are caused by to rupture of soft pads between spinal bones.

Bone spurs, bony outgrowths or projections resulting in constriction of the spinal passage. a condition in which the spaces within the spine get narrow.

Spondylosis is a wear and tear of the spinal disc with age.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which a vertebra slips out of its normal position onto the bone below it.

Spinal stenosis, narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back.

Sciatica is pain travelling along with the sciatic nerve moving to the back of the thigh into the legs.

Thickening of spinal ligaments.

Spinal infections

Regular improper movements

Cancerous or non-cancerous growth in the spine

Radiculopathy Diagnosis

The diagnosis of radiculopathy begins with the patient giving a brief of their medical history to the doctor.

The doctor will ask questions about the type of symptoms, location of the pain, for how long has the pain been there, and also any other medical conditions which the patient is suffering from.

Once the medical history is known, the physician conducts a physical examination and tests.

This is to check the patient's muscular strength, reflexes, sensation, and also the possibility of any abnormalities.

Physical examination allows the medical practitioner to know the severity of the radiculopathy condition.

It also gives an idea about the location of the nerve root that is affected.

In some cases, radiculopathy diagnosis may require the use of advanced imaging techniques such as CT scan or MRI.

These tests aid in improving the visualization of the area where the problem lies.

In some cases, an expert like Dr Khanna orthopedic surgeon may also conduct a study on nerve conduction or Electromyography (EMG).

These tests help to know whether there is damage to the nerve or the problem is muscular.

Symptoms of Radiculopathy

The pinched nerve roots quickly become inflamed, which may result in the following symptoms:

Shooting pain in the back, legs, arms, and shoulders

Feeling of numbness and tingling sensation in the arms and legs.

Localized neck and back pain

Sharp pain when sitting idle or coughing

Sharp pain with movement

Hypersensitivity

Loss of sensation

Radiating pain in the shoulders

Skin numbness

Muscular weakness

Loss of reflexes

Sciatica

Non-surgical treatment for Radiculopathy

Conservative treatment is usually recommended before surgery. Here are some of the non-surgical treatment options for radiculopathy.

Physical therapy to strengthen the areas of pain.

Limitation or complete elimination of activities that cause radiculopathy pain and stains of the back and neck.

Immobilizing the affected area with

does anyone have any wheelchair (manual) cushion recommendations? especially ones beneficial for someone who has trunk weakness, lumbar degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and stuff like that which tends to make sitting uncomfortable

for more context: my current wheelchair cushion setup triggers low back pain (maybe near tailbone specifically) and discomfort in my legs due to sciatica or other radiculopathy, but this didn't happen to the same extent while using a rental chair at an amusement park

unless it's my seat depth or something that's actually the problem instead of my cheap cushion :(

[neuroticboyfriend]

hey uh, does anyone else (or someone you know) have lumbar radiculopathy w/nerve damage? not caused by disc issues, tumors, acute injury, or low conus medullara? or literally anything observable on a regular no contrast lumbosacral MRI or xray? if so, and you found the cause, what was it & how was it diagnosed? for reference i have a genetic hypermobile condition.

its been years. im just at a total loss and don't know what to do anymore. the only thing i can think of that may be causing it is nr-axspa, but idk how to get a doctor to look into it. if ppl could reblog to boost, that'd be great ♡

Chiropractic Solutions for Pinched Nerves

If https://www.zahnchiropractic.com you're dealing with a pinched nerve, chiropractic care offers effective solutions through targeted spinal adjustments and personalized treatment plans. You'll typically experience symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness along the affected nerve's path. Chiropractors use various techniques, including manual adjustments and therapeutic exercises, to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore proper function. Most patients see improvement within 6-8 weeks of treatment, combined with lifestyle changes like better posture and ergonomic adjustments. While immediate relief is possible, understanding the full scope of treatment options can help you make informed decisions about your care.

Understanding Pinched Nerves

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues, such as bones, muscles, cartilage, or tendons, apply excessive pressure to a nerve. This pressure disrupts the nerve's normal function, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. You'll often experience these symptoms radiating along the nerve's path, which can extend from your neck down to your fingers or from your lower back through your legs.

Common locations for pinched nerves include your neck (cervical radiculopathy), lower back (lumbar radiculopathy), and wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome). Several factors can contribute to nerve compression, including poor posture, repetitive movements, obesity, pregnancy, and sports injuries. If you have diabetes or arthritis, you're at higher risk of developing this condition.

You might notice that your symptoms worsen during certain activities or positions. For instance, neck-related pinched nerves often flare up when you're looking down at your phone or computer. The good news is that most pinched nerves respond well to conservative treatment, and you can prevent future occurrences by maintaining good posture and a healthy weight.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

You can develop a pinched nerve through physical strain or injury, including poor posture, repetitive motions, and sudden trauma from accidents or sports-related activities. Your lifestyle choices, such as maintaining an unhealthy weight, smoking, or having a sedentary routine, can increase your risk of nerve compression. Having certain health conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid disorders can also make you more susceptible to pinched nerves.

Physical Strain and Injury

Physical strain's impact on nerve health often stems from everyday activities and sudden movements that compress or irritate nerve pathways. When you're lifting heavy objects incorrectly, maintaining poor posture at your desk, or sleeping in awkward positions, you're putting unnecessary pressure on your nerves. These actions can lead to inflammation and swelling around nerve roots, particularly in your spine and neck areas.

Sports injuries and repetitive motions can also trigger nerve compression. If you're an athlete or someone who performs the same physical tasks repeatedly, you're at higher risk of developing pinched ne

update- TWs in tags

Thank you all very much for your replies to my last post. I’ve had zero energy this past week and yesterday was a very hard day. Got my decision in the mail and wow, they sure are long. It’s not good, folks!!! Not good at all. This guy is an SSA shill and I’m flabbergasted. Hopefully my attorney gets back to me next week asap because not only do I have grounds for an appeal, I believe I’ve been denied my rights by law. Some highlights from his decision. They’re very painful to read and my case manager way back in November of 2021 said that they love to tell people they’re disabled but here’s why you can work. Basically what this dude did but I’m seriously confused and angry. I think it also speaks to the type of person and biases he has. -I meet the disability insurance thing, as in he considers my record to start back in October 2015, which is how my attorney laid it out. And it’s true because that’s the last time I was able to work. -I am severely limited and cannot perform the work I once did. The work I once did was, uh, retail/customer service, and a ‘stay at home’ job if you will by being a caregiver to a veteran (my ex). -My disabilities as the SSA listed them: chiari malformation, leukemia, major depressive disorder recurrent, severe, PTSD w/dissociative affects, headache, s1 radiculopathy (nerve damage), and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH, my number one enemy) -Chiari and leukemia aren’t considered disabilities, which I knew they wouldn’t be. I’m in remission and people often work with debilitating cancers even tho they should absolutely not have to. Let’s begin with what he got wrong lol -He dates that I got an EMG done in March of 2022 before the lumbar puncture. I did not get an EMG until September of 2022. The LP was in April of 2022. -Nerve damage. I have zero evidence of nerve damage in my medical record, according to him. Zero. I do not have a single symptom to suggest nerve damage and I need at least one from both ‘categories’ the SSA lists. But I have none. I was bedbound for eight months because of nerve damage. I had noted swelling (with pictures) of my paraspinal muscles which might have contributed. I had an EMG because of nerve pain. My dr ordered an EMG because of nerve pain. Shooting pain down my leg and numbness/tingling. Also the severe pain in my lower back causing me to not be able to sit up or walk without excruciating pain 💀 I was referred by my neuro to a pain specialist who really wanted to do steroid shots in my lumbar region FOR NERVE PAIN. I was in physical therapy for months to relearn how to like walk and sit up but also for NERVE PAIN. Legit have no words. It’s noted in my neuro’s and his PA’s file about the radiculopathy explaining what happened to me finally. Hhhhhh. -MDD/PTSD/suicidal ideation. I have extensive medical records going back to 2015--NPs, therapists, my psychiatrist, and the neuro psych eval I had in Sept of 2021 + more since. The eval is one of my most important medical documents. He said the medical evidence did not support major depression/anxiety/PTSD for 2+ years with no improvement, which is not factual. My medical records from my NP in 2015-2017 show how many medications I was on that did not work. How long I was in therapy because it did not work. My current psychiatrist is on my side and tells me every time I see him that I’ve been on everything and we’re limited lol I believe this summer I will be with him for two years alone. The judge notes I have no medical evidence of panic attacks despite them being listed in my medical record. At most of these places. Again. Plus the ER at the very beginning discuss panic attacks. This man read my neuro psych eval where she diagnosed me with those MH disorders (beyond already being diagnosed elsewhere). This is an intimately personal document because it details a SA that occurred in 2012 plus the abuse my ex put me through for 2yrs, which made me unable to work starting in 2015. She noted high concern for my well being as my suicidal ideation is, uh, high lmao and the effects of PTSD from multiple traumatic things. He said there is no evidence in my medical record beyond a depressive and anxious mood which do not fit the bill for MH disabilities. He completely ignored the neuro psych eval (and everything else) so I think that speaks volumes of the type of person he is. -IIH. This is where I get very angry. He lists it as something I was diagnosed with and it was in consideration, yet he completely fails to consider it. He considered ‘headaches’. Not IIH, not multi-feature chronic migraines that are well documented, not the recommended brain shunt by my neurosurgeon if pressure was high, which it was. He is, by SSA law, supposed to argue for/against the conditions listed. He didn’t. -Allegations. He says that the “allegations” I have made don’t completely match my medical records by, like, existing or severity. Except the things that he says I alleged but are not supported are because of IIH. Which he had plenty of medical evidence of + the burden of deciding I meet criteria for disability is on the SSA at this point. He has to by law complete my medical record himself once it goes to him (almost a year ago) so he has the entire picture to make an accurate and fair judgment. He says I allege symptoms not endorsed by medical record but they are symptoms of IIH lmao -He implies I lied (”allegations”). He said that in my records it has been noted I stopped driving once all this happened (dec 2019) and have not driven since. It is noted *everywhere*. But he says that I indicated I drove one (1) time in December 2021. Obviously, this is not true and I have no idea where he got this from. My mom was pissed because she has driven me everywhere for 3+ yrs lmao I have a feeling someone misheard me say dec 2019 for dec 2021, so the judge thinks this makes me a liar. He completely ignored the vocational expert’s testimony in the opposite way I have read happens--narrowing me down to 1 job, then 0, but deciding himself I could perform jobs like ‘mail clerk, router, or marker’ whatever the fuck those last two are. A dr who reviewed my case (I didn’t even know they did lkafaja) said I could only have occasional interactions with people. The judge said that he felt that was not true and increased it to frequent. I don’t trust people. At all. I never want to make friends irl again because it feels way too fucking vulnerable. This is in my medical records. Anyway. I truly believe I have grounds for an appeal b/c of mistakes he made and I hope my attorney agrees with that. The judge is not supposed to fuck up dates or ignore medical evidence entirely in his judgment. BY LAW. Angry, hurt, tired. Why does this keep happening to me lol why can one thing not go right but instead everything always gets worse. I feel like I try to put good out into the world when I can but it spits on me in return. I want to give up.

Mechanisms of nerve injury – The major mechanisms of upper extremity peripheral nerve injury are compression, transection, ischemia, inflammation, neuronal degeneration, and radiation exposure. (See 'Etiologies' above.)

●Diagnostic testing

•Electromyography and nerve conduction studies are useful for identifying and classifying peripheral nerve disorders affecting the upper extremity. (See 'Overview of diagnostic testing' above.)

•Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine is useful to identify disc herniation or degeneration and the degree of nerve root compression as well as to exclude the possibility of a mass lesion. (See 'Imaging' above.)

•Neuromuscular ultrasound can be helpful in assessing individual peripheral nerves in patients who present with an unusual upper extremity mononeuropathy.

•Laboratory testing and cerebrospinal fluid analysis are generally reserved for patients with conditions associated with an inflammatory, infectious, or endocrine source. (See 'Laboratory testing' above and 'Lumbar puncture' above.)

●Median neuropathies

•Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common upper extremity mononeuropathy. Typical symptoms include pain or paresthesia in a distribution that includes the median nerve territory, with involvement of the lateral portion of the hand (figure 4). The symptoms are typically worse at night and characteristically awaken affected individuals from sleep. (See 'Carpal tunnel syndrome' above.)

•Less common median nerve syndromes include entrapment where the median nerve passes through the pronator teres muscle and injury to the anterior interosseous nerve that branches at the elbow. (See 'Pronator teres syndrome' above and 'Anterior interosseous neuropathy' above.)

●Ulnar neuropathy – Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (figure 6) is the second most common compression neuropathy affecting the upper extremities. Symptoms include sensory loss and paresthesias over digits 4 and 5 (figure 7) and weakness of the interosseous muscles of the hand in severe cases. (See 'Ulnar nerve syndromes' above.)

●Radial nerve syndromes – With compression of the radial nerve at the spiral groove, the triceps retains full strength, but there is weakness of the wrist extensors (ie, wrist drop), finger extensors, and brachioradialis (figure 9). Sensory loss is present over the dorsum of the hand and may extend up the posterior forearm. With posterior interosseous neuropathy, forearm pain and weakness of finger dorsiflexion is typical. (See 'Radial nerve syndromes' above.)

●Proximal neuropathies – Several uncommon proximal focal neuropathies of the upper extremity typically present with pain and sensorimotor impairment. These include suprascapular neuropathy, long thoracic neuropathy, axillary neuropathy, spinal accessory neuropathy, and musculocutaneous neuropathy. (See 'Proximal neuropathies' above.)

●Brachial plexopathy – The brachial plexus (figure 1) is vulnerable to trauma and may be affected secondarily by disorders involving adjacent structures. Most brachial plexus disorders show a regional involvement rather than involvement of the entire brachial plexus. (See 'Brachial plexopathy' above.)

●Cervical radiculopathy – Cervical radiculopathy is a common cause of both acute and chronic neck pain. Most radiculopathies arise from nerve root compression due to cervical spondylosis and/or disc herniation. Lower cervical roots, particularly C7, are more frequently affected by compression. Typical clinical findings of solitary root lesions are summarized in the table (table 1). (See 'Cervical radiculopathy' above.)

●Other syndromes – Additional uncommon peripheral nerve syndromes affecting the upper extremities include focal amyotrophy, mononeuropathy multiplex, multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and zoster radiculoganglionitis. (See 'Miscellaneous' above.)

تزحزح الفقرات السبب والعلاج آلام الفقرات

#العمود_الفقري (Vertebral column)

• جسم الإنسان إلى خمسة مناطق أساسية تبدأ من المنطقة العنقية، والصدرية والقطنية، والعجزية، وتنتهي في المنطقة العصعصية، بالإضافة إلى ذلك يحتوي العمود الفقري على 4 مكونات رئيسة، تشمل: الفقرات، والأعصاب، والمفاصل، والأقراص.

ما هي #الفقرات_القطنية :

• تتكون الفقرات القطنية من خمس فقرات وأحيانًا ست فقرات لدى بعض الأشخاص، وتسمى الفقرات القطنية حسب تسلسلها بالفقرة القطنية الأولى إلى #الفقرة_القطنية_الخامسة (L1 ،L2 ،L3 ،L4 ،L5)، إذ تترتب بشكل الحرف C بحيث تكون قاعدة المنحنى إلى الداخل، ويسمى هذا المنحنى بالمنحنى القعس (Lordotic curve).

• تقع الفقرات القطنية أسفل الظهر بين الفقرات الصدرية و العجزية، وتتميز بأنها أكبر حجمًا وأكثر سماكة من الفقرات الصدرية والعنقية كونها تتحمل الجزء الأكبر من وزن الجسم، وتُعد ثاني أكبر فقرات العمود الفقري حجمًا بعد الفقرات العجزية.

ما هي #أجزاء_الفقرات_القطنية :

1. جسم الفقرة جسم الفقرة القطني هو الجزء الأمامي المستدير للفقرة، ويعد الهيكل الرئيس لها الذي يتحمل الوزن.

2. النتوءات الشوكية (Spinous process) النتوءات الشوكية وهي بروزات عظمية تتواجد في الجزء الخلفي من الفقرة.

3. القوس الفقري (Vertebral arch) يتكون القوس الفقري من عظام مستديرة تحيط بالقناة الشوكية، ويقع في الجهة الخلفية من الفقرة، إضافةً يحتوي على التراكيب الآتية :

• العُنيقة (Pedicle) : هي زوج من النتوءات العظمية القصيرة والسميكة، وتقع خلف جسم الفقرة في الجزء العلوي.

• الصفيحة (lamina) : الصفيحة هي زوج من الصفائح العظمية الرقيقة، وتتواجد في الجزء الخلفي من الفقرة ووظيفتها حماية القناة الشوكية.

4. القرص الفقري يوجد بين الفقرات القطنية أقراص غضروفية تسمى القرص بين الفقرات (Intervertebral discs) تعمل هذه الأقراص كوسائد تحمي الفقرات من الاحتكاك مع بعضها، وتمتص الصدمات، وتوفر المرونة والدعم الظهر أثناء الحركة.

5. مفاصل الفقرات القطنية مفاصل وُجَيهِيَّة أو المفاصل المشتركة (Facet joints)، وهي عبارة عن فراغ موجود بين عظام الفقرات متواجدة على طول العمود الفقري تقوم بربط الفقرات مع بعضها البعض، حيث أن كل فقرة تمتلك زوجين من هذه المفاصل المشتركة، زوج علوي يربط الفقرة مع الفقرة التي تسبقها، وزوج سفلي يربط الفقرة مع التي تليها.

ما هي #أهمية_الفقرات_القطنية :

• تقوم بالدعم الهيكلي خاصةً دعم وزن الجزء العلوي من الجسم.

• تساعد على حركة جسم الإنسان.

• تعمل على حماية الأنسجة الرخوة المحيطة بها، مثل: الحبل الشوكي، والأعصاب، والأربطة، والأوتار.

1. الديسك (Lumbar disc herniation) الديسك أو كما يعرف بالانزلاق الغضروفي القطني ويسمى أيضًا القرص المنفتق القطني، هو أحد اضطرابات الفقرات القطنية التنكسية التي تسبب ألم أسفل الظهر والذي ينجم عن تهيج الأعصاب، ويحدث نتيجة تهتك الوسائد الغضروفية المتواجدة بين مفاصل الفقرات الذي قد يؤدي إلى الضغط على الأعصاب مسببًا اعتلال الجذور العصبية القطنية (Lumbar radiculopathy).

2. الإجهاد القطني (Lumbar strain) يحدث الإجهاد القطني نتيجة تمزق العضلات والأربطة والأوتار للفقرات القطنية، مما يؤدي إلى تمدد إحدى هذه الأنسجة، وغالبًا ما ينجم عن إصابات الحوادث أو حمل أو سحب شيئًا ثقيل.

3. الانزلاق الفُقاري القطني (Spondylolisthesis) يحدث الانزلاق الفُقاري نتيجة إزاحة الفقرات القطنية من مكانها بشكلٍ جانبي، ويُعد الانزلاق الفُقاري القطني من أحد الأسباب الشائعة التي تُتسبب آلامًا في أسفل الظهر خاصةً لدى كبار السن أو الأشخاص الذين يمارسون النشاطات البدنية التي تؤثر على الفقرات القطنية، مثل: والجمباز، ورفع الأثقال، وكرة القدم.

2. #التهاب_المفاصل الروماتويدي.

3. كسر الفقرات.

4. تكون العظمة الشوكية (النتوءات الشوكية).

5. هشاشة العظام.

6. إصابة العمود الفقري بالعدوى الجرثومية التي تسبب التهاب العظم والنقي (Osteomyelitis)، أو التهاب الأقراص الإنتاني (Septic discitis).

7. أورام العمود الفقري.

8. بعض الأمراض الخلقية أو الوراثية التي تؤدي إلى تشوه عظام الفقرات مثل مرض باجيت (Paget's disease).

تقوس أسفل الظهر (Lordosis).

9. داء باستروب (Baastrup disease)، ويسمى أيضًا بمتلازمة تقبيل العمود الفقري، وهو أحد الأمراض التنكسية للعمود الفقري التي تحدث نتيجة تشكل أكثر من عظمة شوكية بشكل متقارب أو متقابل، بحيث يكون مظهرها مشابه للعُناق.
