Radiculopathy Pain Management & Treatment

In Houston, TX

Understanding Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy often occurs when a nerve root is compressed. This can develop for many reasons, but some of the common causes include a herniated or bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis that narrows the spinal canal. Bone spurs and spinal injury or trauma can also put pressure on the nerve and trigger symptoms.

Some common symptoms of radiculopathy include:

Sharp or radiating pain in neck, back, or extremities

Numbness or tingling

Muscle weakness

Pain that worsens with movement or certain positions

Weakened Reflexes

Diagnosis and Evaluation

We begin with a focused exam and review of your history. Imaging, such as MRI or X-ray, and when needed, nerve studies, help confirm which nerve is involved. This guides a precise plan that targets the source of pain.

Treatment Options & Pain Management

Our approach lowers inflammation, eases nerve pressure, and builds durable strength without masking pain with narcotics. 

Typically, we start with conservative care options. This may include physical therapy, spinal decompression, and non-addictive pain relief to reduce pressure and improve movement.

If pain persists, we may use targeted injections. Epidural or nerve block injections can ease symptoms while the body heals.

When conservative measures do not provide enough relief, surgery may be needed to remove bone spurs, disc material, or other tissue pressing on the nerve. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques when appropriate to support a faster recovery and limit scarring.

The physician was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything. He assured I was clear on the diagnosis and care plan. I truly appreciated the model they have set up. Saves time, money and worry. I highly recommend this facility. Thank you for the professional and excellent care.
