Understanding the Difference: Radiculopathy vs Radicular Pain
This chapter discusses the distinction between radicular pain and radiculopathy. It explains that having a pinched nerve does not always cause pain, and that radicular pain is more related to nerve sensitivity while radiculopathy indicates actual damage to the nerve. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying whether the nerve is compressed in order to determine appropriate management options.
