Be better at recognizing and diagnosing lumbar disc herniations and radiculopathies. Know when to continue with conservative care, know when to co-manage with a physician and know when to initiate advanced imaging and surgical consult. Lumbar disc herniations are a common presentation in our practices. However, the presentation and symptom patterns can be challenging to recognize; they don’t always look like the stereotypical radiculopathy.
