Cervical RadiculopathyCompressed or irritated neck nerves cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the shoulders, arms, and hands from disc or spine changes.We alleviate symptoms through targeted injections, physical therapy, and advanced interventional procedures tailored to your needs.
Symptoms and CausesSpinal discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae, keeping the back flexible enough to twist and bend. With age they show wear and may not work as well.These changes can compress or irritate the nerve roots in the neck, producing sharp or constant pain along with tingling, weakness, and numbness in the arms and hands.Contributing causes include repeated bending and twisting, trauma, genetics, heavy lifting, and obesity. Symptoms often start out slight and gradually worsen over time.
Available Treatments
When to Seek CareCare usually depends on the severity and duration of your symptoms. Early-stage treatment includes pain medication, over-the-counter medication, cold and hot therapy, and physical therapy.Staying active, strengthening the core and spine, and maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of disc degeneration progressing.If symptoms persist, interventional options may be considered, and your physician will evaluate which ones fit. The next step is a conversation.
