Cervical Radiculopathy

Pinched Nerve in the Neck also known as Cervical Radiculopathy
The nerves are commonly compressed or irritated by:
- Herniated disc
- Enlargement of small joints in the neck
- Bony spurs
- Localized inflammation around the nerve
- Positional faults in the neck joints
However, a lot of other conditions can mimic cervical radiculopathy, such as rotator cuff tendinopathy and biceps tendinopathy.
Symptoms vary depending on which nerve(s) and which part of the nerve(s) are irritated. They usually involve:
- Pain that spreads into the arm, neck, chest, upper back and/or shoulders.
- Tingling sensation in fingers or hands
- Stiff neck
- Arm heaviness
- Hand weakness
Generally, the longer you have had the injury, the longer it will take to recover. Most of the time, you may assume things will get better by themselves with enough rest. But this is rarely the case, especially if your pain or other symptoms are stopping you from doing what you normally able to do. So, take action and get back doing what you love as soon as possible.
