Clinic
- Commonly referred to as pinched nerve, refers to a set of conditions in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly (a neuropathy).
- It is a Peripheral Nervous system disease
- It can result in Radicular pain, Weakness, Paresthesia or difficulty controlling specific muscles.
- Radicular pain that results from a radiculopathy should not be confused with referred pain, which is different both in mechanism and clinical features.

Note
Here we have a big conflict, that should be explained more. Radiculopathy would be a post-node according to TLT theory since it is caused by mechanical pressure of a tumor or an abscess on nerve roots. Although we do not find a mechanical pressure in a significant number of patients. Also we find psychological modalities in common radiculopathic cases known as Sciatica, which means dynamic inflammation. That's why I prefer to divide Sciatica into Dynamic and Static cases. Static cases mostly need Agar, Arn and Hyper, depending on the form of their pain. In Dynamic cases I search for dynamic inflammation which have the above mentioned entities, which suggest HSV-1
