Radiculopathy Relief in Lake Forest Estates, La Vergne 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 Lake Forest Estates
Radiculopathy can develop gradually, with symptoms that start as a subtle tingling before becoming a clearly recognizable pattern radiating down an arm or leg. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years helping patients across La Vergne and Rutherford County catch that pattern early.
In Lake Forest Estates, La Vergne's sprawling largest subdivision, we often see radiculopathy following yard work or an awkward twist around a large property.
