Is There Treatment for Radiculopathy That Doesn’t Require Surgery?

There are many radiculopathy treatments available that do not require surgery. Most people that require treatment for radiculopathy will not need surgery and should find relief through conservative treatment methods.

The treatment of radiculopathy usually involves physical therapy, rest, pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants. Most patients will see a noticeable improvement in their symptoms after a few weeks and will go on to be symptom free after 6 – 12 weeks of treatment.

Atlantic Spine Center uses advanced diagnostic tools and procedures to tailor a plan that will fit your specific needs. The location of your Radiculopathy, the severity of your symptoms, and how long you have been suffering all play a part in determining what treatment of radiculopathy would work best for you.

How far developed your radiculopathy condition is and the impact your symptoms have on your day to day life will also be taken into consideration when formulating treatment for radiculopathy. Some people have worse symptoms than others and may require more aggressive treatments.
