Symptoms of Radiculopathy

Common Causes of Radiculopathy Include:

  • Herniated Discs: Bulging discs can press on spinal nerves.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal.
  • Bone Spurs: Growth of bone can compress nerves.
  • Injury: Trauma to the spine.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on spinal discs.
