Common questions
About spine conditions.
- They describe the same condition. "Sciatica" is the common term for lumbar radiculopathy — pain that radiates down the leg because a nerve root in the lower back is compressed or irritated. The medical name describes the location (lumbar) and the mechanism (nerve-root irritation).
- See a spine specialist if you have persistent or worsening neck or back pain, pain that radiates into the arms or legs, numbness or weakness, problems with balance or coordination, or any bowel/bladder changes. Any of those, especially in combination, deserves a specialist evaluation.
- No. Most spine conditions improve with conservative care — physical therapy, targeted injections, activity modification, and time. Dr. Yasmeh starts with the least-invasive option that fits your situation and only recommends surgery when it's clearly the right choice.
- Myelopathy means the spinal cord itself is being compressed. Unlike a pinched nerve, which can often wait for conservative care, myelopathy can progressively damage the cord — affecting walking, balance, hand coordination, and ultimately bowel/bladder function. It usually warrants timely surgical evaluation.
