Lumbar radiculopathy is a spinal nerve root disorder often caused by lumbar disc herniation or compression, leading to radiating leg pain, restricted movement, and functional difficulties. This condition significantly disrupts daily activities and overall quality of life. While medication and exercise are common treatments, manual therapy techniques are gaining recognition for their non-invasive and effective outcomes in relieving symptoms and improving patient function.
