If you’re experiencing sharp, radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms or legs, you may be dealing with radiculopathy, commonly known as a pinched nerve.
At Vitality Spine & Wellness in Boca Raton, FL, we specialize in non-surgical, drug-free treatment for radiculopathy. Our goal is to relieve nerve compression, restore spinal function, and help you return to normal activity as quickly and safely as possible.
What Is Radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes compressed, inflamed, or irritated. This pressure disrupts normal nerve signaling, leading to pain and neurological symptoms along the path of that nerve.
Radiculopathy most commonly affects:
- The cervical spine (neck)
- The lumbar spine (lower back)
The location determines where symptoms appear.
Types of Radiculopathy

Symptoms may include:
Lumbar Radiculopathy (Lower Back Pinched Nerve)
Often associated with sciatica, symptoms include:
- Lower back pain
- Radiating leg pain
- Tingling in the foot
