M48.02ICD-10 code: M48. 02 Spinal stenosis Cervical region - gesund.bund.de.
Cervical stenosis only causes symptoms if it causes compression of the nerve roots or spinal cord. If so, the patient is said to have radiculopathy (compression of a nerve) or myelopathy (compression of the spinal cord). The symptoms of radiculopathy are limited to pain, weakness or numbness in one arm.
M54.1212.
Cervical radiculopathy is the clinical description of when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes inflamed or damaged, resulting in a change in neurological function. Neurological deficits, such as numbness, altered reflexes, or weakness, may radiate anywhere from the neck into the shoulder, arm, hand, or fingers.
Symptoms of radiculopathy vary by location but frequently include pain, weakness, numbness and tingling. A common cause of radiculopathy is narrowing of the space where nerve roots exit the spine, which can be a result of stenosis, bone spurs, disc herniation or other conditions.
Cervical radiculopathy refers to a dysfunction of a nerve root caused by injury or compression of a spinal nerve root in the neck. On the other hand, cervical myelopathy refers to compression of the spinal cord within the neck.
Example: M54. 12 is cervical radiculopathy. Your exam findings should include the following: Subjective: Neck pain, radiating pain into upper extremity, numbness, tingling.May 1, 2018

Lumbar radiculopathy is an inflammation of a nerve root in the lower back, which causes symptoms of pain or irritation in the back and down the legs. This condition usually involves the sciatic nerve and therefore is also called sciatica.
Radiculopathy is not the same as “radicular pain” or “nerve root pain”. Radiculopathy and radicular pain commonly occur together, but radiculopathy can occur in the absence of pain and radicular pain can occur in the absence of radiculopathy.
Cervical spinal stenosis, also called cervical stenosis, occurs when the neck's protective spinal canal narrows due to degenerative changes or trauma. If the space within the spinal canal is reduced too much, neurologic deficits can result from spinal cord compression, a condition called myelopathy.
Sensory changes vary, but tend to affect vibration and joint position sense in the hands more than the feet. Radiculopathy (nerve root compression) due to cervical spondylosis usually occurs at the C5 to C7 levels, although higher levels can also be affected.
Cervical radiculopathy involves pain and other symptoms caused by a compressed nerve root in the neck, while lumbar radiculopathy or sciatica is caused by problems with the nerves in the lower back.
Generally, risk factors for a pinched nerve include: Activities that put excessive or repetitive load on the spine, such as frequent lifting, heavy industry work, and contact sports. A family history of radiculopathy or other spine disorders. Traumatic neck and back injuries during motor vehicle collisions.
With numerous spine-related ICD and CPT codes, partnering with an experienced medical billing and coding company is the best way to ensure accurate reporting of radiculopathy diagnosis and treatment for maximum reimbursement.
In the older adults, cervical radiculopathy commonly occurs due to foramen narrowing, and disc and degenerative changes in the joints.
Risk factors for lumbar radiculopathy, which is somewhat more common in men, include driving occupations, back trauma, taller height, smoking, being overweight, sedentary lifestyle, history of back pain, and chronic cough. In the younger people, cervical radiculopathy tends to be the result of disc herniation or acute injury.
As radiculopathy is a general term for spinal nerve root problems, the M54.1- subcategory includes paresthesia, hyporeflexia, motor loss, pain, neuritis (inflammation of a peripheral nerve) and radiculitis (inflammation of a spinal nerve along its path of travel). The inclusion terms for M54.1, which help identify conditions reported with ...
Neuropathic pain is a common condition that medical billing and coding companies help pain management specialists report. Radiculopathy is a type of neuropathy that refers to a range of symptoms caused when a nerve root in the spinal column becomes pinched or damaged. Cervical radiculopathy involves pain and other symptoms caused by ...
