Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that occurs when the nerves in the neck are compressed or damaged (pinched nerve). When the nerve is compressed, pain signals travel from the nerve root in the spinal cord into the extremities.
Some common symptoms of cervical radiculopathy can include:
It’s essential to be evaluated by a spine or cervical radiculopathy specialist since many conditions that affect the spine have similar symptoms of pain radiating to other parts of the body. For example, facet joint symptoms can mimic the pain of a disc herniation.
Cervical radiculopathy is diagnosed through a combination of evaluating the patient’s symptoms, attaining their medical history, conducting a physical examination, and performing imaging tests.
At OrthoNeuro, cervical spine radiculopathy is usually treated quite effectively using non-surgical treatment options, such as working with a physical therapist. Our board-certified spine specialists at OrthoNeuro will create a treatment plan based on your lifestyle and goals.
This treatment plan may consist of any combination of the following non-surgical treatment options:
Surgery may be recommended if cervical radiculopathy does not respond to nonsurgical treatments such as a cervical epidural steroid injection.

“I recently had surgery on my lower back. I had heard that such surgery would result in pain and cause me difficulties in doing ordinary daily tasks but, I experienced no pain and was able to do normal activities at home and at church. Also, being a bee keeper, I was able to work the hives and extract the honey from most of the hives”
