Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical Radiculopathy, often referred to as a pinched nerve in the neck, occurs when a nerve in the cervical spine becomes compressed or irritated. This condition can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates from the neck into the shoulders, arms, or hands. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, our experienced specialists understand how disruptive this condition can be and we’re here to provide advanced, compassionate care designed to help you find lasting relief.

Causes and Common Symptoms

Cervical Radiculopathy can develop for several reasons, including:

 

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease or arthritis

  • Bone spurs pressing on nerve roots

  • Spinal injuries or trauma

Common symptoms may include:

 

  • Sharp or burning neck pain

  • Numbness or tingling in the arm or hand

  • Weakness in the shoulder, arm, or fingers

  • Worsening pain with certain neck movements

If left untreated, symptoms can worsen over time, potentially leading to chronic pain or decreased mobility — which is why early evaluation and care are essential.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

At Covenant Spine and Neurology, we use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify the cause of nerve compression. Our specialists may perform a detailed physical exam, review your medical history, and order imaging studies such as MRI, CT, or nerve conduction tests. This comprehensive approach allows us to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Advanced Treatment and Pain Management

Our multidisciplinary team combines evidence-based techniques with the latest medical innovations to restore comfort and function. Depending on the severity and cause of your condition, treatment may include:

 

  • Targeted medications to reduce inflammation and nerve pain

  • Physical therapy and guided exercises to improve mobility

  • Non-surgical interventions such as epidural steroid injections

  • Lifestyle modifications and ergonomic guidance

  • When necessary, referral for minimally invasive surgical options

We believe in conservative, patient-first care, and our focus is always on helping you recover safely and effectively.
