Radiculitis is a peripheral nervous system disorder that arises from damage, inflammation, or compression of the spinal nerves. This condition can significantly deteriorate the quality of life, making timely treatment essential.
Causes of Radiculitis
The primary causes of radiculitis are pathological processes occurring in the spine:
- Spinal osteochondrosis: a degenerative disease that leads to the destruction of intervertebral discs.
- Herniated discs: protrusion of a disc that can compress nerve endings.
- Spinal curvature (scoliosis): causes uneven distribution of load on the spine.
- Uneven distribution of physical load: excessive physical exertion or poor posture can cause damage.
- Sedentary lifestyle: lack of physical activity leads to muscle weakness and deterioration of the spine.
- Vitamin and mineral deficiency: particularly important are B vitamins and magnesium.
- Frequent spinal injuries: can result from sports activities or accidents.
- Excess weight: increases the load on the spine and contributes to the development of pathologies.
Symptoms of Radiculitis
The most pronounced symptoms of radiculopathy include:
- Sharp, acute back pain: worsens with movement.
- Pain radiation: pain can spread to the lower limbs and other body parts.
- Restricted mobility: limited movement in the back and limbs.
- Sensitivity disturbances: sensitivity is impaired in the affected areas.
Diagnosis of Radiculitis
For an accurate diagnosis of radiculitis at the Pirogov Sanatorium, Kuyalnik Resort, a comprehensive examination is conducted, including:
- Neurologist consultations: a qualified specialist conducts an examination and prescribes necessary tests to determine the extent of nerve damage.
- Instrumental diagnostic methods: may include MRI, CT, and electromyography to assess the condition of the spine and nerve endings.
