Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve) Relief in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Find Relief from Radiating Pain, Numbness, and Tingling in Tulsa

Radiculopathy, commonly known as a pinched nerve, occurs when nerves in your spine become compressed or irritated. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that radiates to other parts of your body. If you’re experiencing these symptoms in your lower back, legs, neck, or arms, Tulsa Pain Consultants offers expert diagnosis and effective treatment options to help you find relief.

Recognize the Symptoms of Radiculopathy

Don’t ignore these common signs that could indicate a pinched nerve:

  • Radiating Pain: This is the most distinctive symptom. The pain may be sharp, burning, or shooting, traveling from your spine to your legs (sciatica) if it’s lumbar radiculopathy or arms if it’s cervical radiculopathy.
  • Numbness: Loss of sensation in the affected area, such as your legs, feet, arms, or hands.
  • Tingling: A prickling or “pins and needles” sensation in the affected area.
  • Weakness: Decreased muscle strength in your legs, feet, arms, or hands, making everyday tasks difficult.
  • Pain Worsens with Movement: Bending, lifting, or twisting can intensify the pain.

Understanding the Causes of Radiculopathy

Several factors can lead to a pinched nerve in your spine, including:

  • Herniated Discs: When a disc bulges or ruptures, it can compress nearby nerve roots.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear on the discs can narrow the space for nerves.
  • Bone Spurs: Bony growths can form on the vertebrae, irritating or compressing nerves.
  • Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Trauma: Falls or accidents can injure the spine and nerves.
  • Other Conditions: Diabetes and certain infections can also contribute to radiculopathy.
