Compression and Irritation of Spinal Nerve Roots

Compression and Irritation of Spinal Nerve Roots, known as radiculopathy, is a common problem we encounter at Endorphin Physiotherapy Center. This condition occurs when the nerve roots exiting the spine are compressed or irritated, leading to pain, tingling, weakness, or decreased limb function. The most common causes of compression and irritation of spinal nerve roots include disc herniation, spinal stenosis, facet joint arthritis, or trauma. Symptoms • Pain radiating from the spine to the arms or legs • Tingling or "pins and needles" sensation in the limbs • Muscle weakness • Decreased range of motion

Compression and Irritation of Spinal Nerve Roots

Treatment and Approach

Detailed physiotherapy assessment

The key first step in treatment is understanding the specific symptoms and limitations of each individual.

Individualized approach

Each treatment plan is tailored to meet the needs and goals of the patient.

Therapeutic exercises

We focus on exercises that strengthen and increase flexibility, reducing pressure on the nerve roots.

Electrotherapy

We apply various modalities such as Tecar therapy, SIS therapy (Super Inductive System), HILT therapy (High-Intensity Laser Therapy), Interferential currents, TENS therapy (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). The goal is to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote circulation in the affected areas.

Manual therapy

Application of techniques such as spinal mobilization and manipulation can help reduce pain and improve function.

Spinal decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapeutic technique aimed at reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerve roots.

Decompression can help reduce pressure on intervertebral discs, which may alleviate compression of nerve roots. This method can also improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to the discs, aiding in their regeneration and healing. Spinal decompression can effectively reduce pain and discomfort associated with radiculopathy.

At Endorphin, we understand the complexity and challenges of radiculopathy. Our goal is not only to alleviate symptoms but also to improve the quality of life for our patients through expert and personalized treatment.
