Describe the passage way of a nerve impulse. 

This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body. From cell body, it passes on to the axon. It then travels along the axon to its tip. The place where an axon terminal meets another cell is called a synapse.

What is the most common type of radiculopathy? 

Lumbar radiculopathy

  • Antidepresents 
  • Anti Tremor
  • Cognitive enhancing medication

What is a herniated disc? 

Occurs when the soft center of a spinal disk pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing.

This affects the nerves of the spinal cord?
