Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical radiculopathy is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the nerves in the neck, often due to herniated discs, arthritis, or spinal stenosis. This pressure can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the shoulders, arms, and sometimes into the hands. You may experience tingling or a burning sensation along these areas. Treatment options include physical therapy, medications, and sometimes surgery, aiming to relieve the nerve pressure and restore function. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential for better outcomes.
