Cervical Radiculopathy
Pain doesn't have to control your daily life. Find relief with chiropractic care.
What is Cervical Radiculopathy?
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the neck becomes compressed or irritated, often due to herniated discs, spinal degeneration, or injuries. This can cause numbness, weakness, tingling, or pain that radiates into the shoulders, arms, or hands. It may worsen with certain movements or prolonged positions, such as sitting at a desk for long periods.
How do you treat Cervical Radiculopathy?
We use chiropractic adjustments, cervical traction, electrical muscle stimulation, and massage therapy to help relieve pressure on the nerve, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Avoiding activities that worsen symptoms can also help prevent further irritation.
Is there anything I can do for Cervical Radiculopathy at home?
Taking anti-inflammatory medications may help reduce swelling around the affected nerve. In some cases, prescription pain medications or steroids may be needed for symptom relief. If symptoms persist or worsen, surgery may be required in severe cases.
