Condition
Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck) becomes compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This compression can be caused by a herniated disc, bone spurs from arthritis, or narrowing of the spinal canal.
The condition typically causes pain that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand, following the path of the affected nerve. In addition to pain, patients may experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand.
Our physicians at Spinal Interventions use imaging-guided procedures to precisely target the source of nerve compression, providing relief through epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and other minimally invasive treatments.
