Radiculopathy Pain — Which Doctor Should I See?

Radiculopathy pain is sharp, burning discomfort caused by irritation or compression of a nerve root in the spine. It typically radiates down the arm or leg following the nerve's path.

Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs, stenosis, or inflammation pressing on nerve roots. Poor posture, injury, or degenerative disc disease can contribute to its development.

Treatment options include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and stretching exercises. Severe cases may require epidural injections, surgery, or specialist consultation.
