Cervical radiculopathy refers to the irritation or compression of nerve roots in the cervical spine. This can cause pain, tingling, and weakness in the arms. Treatment aims to identify the cause and may include rest, physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve root.

Herniated disc, nerve irritation, degenerative changes

disc prolapse

Spinal stenosis occurs due to narrowings in the spinal canal that can press on the nerves. This can be caused by wear and tear, osteoarthritis or injury.

disc prolapse

Treatment for cervical radiculopathy can be conservative and include physical therapy exercises to strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles. In some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve root may be necessary. A neurologist or orthopedist can discuss the best course of action.

disc prolapse

Cervical radiculopathy, in which nerve roots in the cervical spine become irritated, has been studied in more detail in the modern medical context. It can be caused by herniated discs or degenerative changes. Modern diagnostic methods such as MRI contribute to identification. Treatment can range from conservative measures such as physical therapy to surgery to decompress the nerve roots.
