16: Radiculopathy Lumbar region.
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.
ICD-10 allows coding of radiculopathy with increased specificity. The radiculopathy ICD-10 codes are found in the M54. 1- subcategory, part of the block M50-M54, Other Dorsopathies. As radiculopathy is a general term for spinal nerve root problems, the M54.
Radiculopathy describes a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column. The pinched nerve can occur at different areas along the spine (cervical, thoracic or lumbar). Symptoms of radiculopathy vary by location but frequently include pain, weakness, numbness and tingling.
