Radiculopathy Relief in Green Hills, Nashville TN
Radiculopathy is the medical term for pain, numbness, or weakness caused by irritation or compression of a spinal nerve root, and it can originate in the neck or lower back. Because the symptoms follow the specific nerve's pathway, they often show up far from the spine itself - in a hand, arm, foot, or leg.
Treating Radiculopathy in Green Hills
Radiculopathy doesn't always announce itself with a dramatic injury - sometimes it's the result of years of repetitive strain finally irritating a specific nerve root. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, helping patients understand exactly how that pattern developed.
Patients from Green Hills, Nashville's busy shopping and dining district, often come in after noticing radiating arm or leg symptoms that built up gradually.
