a result of a damaged disc.\u00a0 The damaged disc typically occurs due to degeneration or in layman\u2019s terms, through wear and tear.\u00a0 A damaged disc may also be caused by trauma or injury.\u00a0<\/p><p>The disc is comprised of an outer ring that protects the centre of the disc.\u00a0 The center is a soft, gelatinous material and provides a cushion between the vertebrae.\u00a0 This is a necessary part of the spine as it not only cushions the vertebrae, but also acts as a shock absorber and allows for movement and flexibility of the spine.\u00a0 If you can imagine, the spine would not be able to perform one of its major functions, that of mobility, if there were no \u201ccushion\u201d between the bones.\u00a0 If the outer ring of the disc becomes damaged, it is no longer able to contain the centre, thus the disc may bulge, herniated or rupture.\u00a0 It is when this happens that radiculopathy may occur.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

a nerve or nerves in the neck.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our necks are under constant pressure and strain due to having to balance and carry the weight of our heads.\u00a0 On average, a human head weighs ten to fifteen pounds.\u00a0 The cervical spine allows for movement of the head and together with providing support and balance, it doesn\u2019t really have a chance to rest.\u00a0 It makes perfect sense that it would be susceptible to degenerative disc disease given the the wear and tear this part of the spine is subject to.\u00a0<\/p><p>If someone is suffering from cervical radiculopathy, they may experience a burning pain as well as tingling or a \u201cpins and needles\u201d feeling in one or both arms.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

to supporting the lower area of the body, improper bending and lifting with this area of the back can certainly speed up the degeneration process.\u00a0<\/p><p>A patient suffering from lumbar radiculopathy may experience sciatica.\u00a0 This is a pain that is commonly described as a burning or radiating pain that shoots downward from the lower back, through the buttocks and down the back of the leg or legs.\u00a0 This pain can also travel through to the feet.\u00a0 Numbness, tingling and pins and needles may also be felt in the legs and \/ or

EMAIL ADDRESS What is Radiculopathy The term radiculopathy is irritation to a nerve that is as a result of a damaged disc.\u00a0 The damaged disc typically occurs due to degeneration or in layman\u2019s terms, through wear and tear.\u00a0 A damaged disc may also be caused by trauma or injury.\u00a0 The disc is comprised of an outer ring that protects the centre of the disc.\u00a0 The center is a soft, gelatinous material and provides a cushion between the vertebrae.\u00a0 This is a necessary part of the spine as it not only cushions the vertebrae, but also acts as a shock absorber and allows for movement and flexibility of the spine.\u00a0 If you can imagine, the spine would not be able to perform one of its major functions, that of mobility, if there were no \u201ccushion\u201d between the bones.\u00a0 If the outer ring of the disc becomes damaged, it is no longer able to contain the centre, thus the disc may bulge, herniated or rupture.\u00a0 It is when this happens that radiculopathy may occur.\u00a0 Cervical Radiculopathy If radiculopathy is nerve irritation, cervical radiculopathy would be the irritation of a nerve or nerves in the neck.\u00a0 Our necks are under constant pressure and strain due to having to balance and carry the weight of our heads.\u00a0 On average, a human head weighs ten to fifteen pounds.\u00a0 The cervical spine allows for movement of the head and together with providing support and balance, it doesn\u2019t really have a chance to rest.\u00a0 It makes perfect sense that it would be susceptible to degenerative disc disease given the the wear and tear this part of the spine is subject to.\u00a0 If someone is suffering from cervical radiculopathy, they may experience a burning pain as well as tingling or a \u201cpins and needles\u201d feeling in one or both arms.\u00a0 Lumbar Radiculopathy The lower back, or the lumbar spine is also subject to degenerative disc disease.\u00a0 This condition is called lumbar radiculopathy.\u00a0 The lumbar spine provides support to the lower area of the body and is also subject to wear and tear due to a number of factors.\u00a0 In addition to supporting the lower area of the body, improper bending and lifting with this area of the back can certainly speed up the degeneration process.\u00a0 A patient suffering from lumbar radiculopathy may experience sciatica.\u00a0 This is a pain that is commonly described as a burning or radiating pain that shoots downward from the lower back, through the buttocks and down the back of the leg or legs.\u00a0 This pain can also travel through to the feet.\u00a0 Numbness, tingling and pins and needles may also be felt in the legs and \/ or feet. Understanding the Affected Disc The spine is broken down in the following parts: cervical &#8211; C; thoracic &#8211; T; Lumbar &#8211; L; Sacrum &#8211; S.\u00a0 In diagnosing radiculopathy and determining treatment, your doctor will need to know the disc affected.\u00a0 Therefore, you may see a letter with a number followed by another letter and number.\u00a0 For example, if you were to see or be advised by your doctor that the L5\/S1 is affected, it would mean that the affected disc is located between the fifth vertebrae in the lumbar spine and the first vertebrae in the sacrum.\u00a0 Submit below OR Call 1-866-850-6139 Find out if you&#8217;re a candidate\u00a0for a minimally invasive alternative to open neck or back surgery First Name Last Name State AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareWashington DCFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming Zip Phone Email Best Time Best Time to callMorningMid DayEveningAnytime Have you been in pain for 6 months or more?
