Radicular nerve compression is of two types — Soft & Hard. Soft compression happens when a disc bulges or breaks and presses the nerve (Sciatica). Hard compression happens when bone instability (Retrolysis) also presses the nerve. ⚠️ In hard compression, pain increases while: • Bending • Coughing • Sneezing ❗MRI can miss this problem because it is done in lying position. ✅ Flexion-extension X-ray shows the real cause. 👉 Correct diagnosis = correct treatment | Dr. Harish Grover Chiropractor
