Lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy - what does this mean

Lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy are caused by the displacement of the intervertebral disc, which can cause compression of the spinal nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the legs and lower back. the condition can be caused by trauma, age-related degeneration, or a herniated disc.

What happens during the disease - lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy

Lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy occur when the intervertebral discs become damaged or worn, leading to herniation of the disc material, which in turn compresses the nerve roots in the spinal cord. this compression causes inflammation, pain, and other neurological symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected areas. the cause of the disc damage can vary, but it is usually the result of age-related wear and tear, or trauma to the spine.
