Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment
Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment
Specialized Care for Nerve Pain, Numbness, and Weakness
Cervical radiculopathy, commonly known as a “pinched nerve” in the neck, occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes compressed or irritated. This condition can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm, and even the fingers. At our clinic, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment of cervical radiculopathy to help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in your daily life.
What Causes Cervical Radiculopathy?
Cervical radiculopathy typically results from:
-
Herniated discs that press on nerve roots
-
Degenerative disc disease due to aging
-
Bone spurs (osteophytes) caused by arthritis
-
Injuries such as trauma from sports or car accidents
-
Spinal stenosis, which narrows the spinal canal
Patients often report sharp or burning pain radiating down one arm, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, or a “pins-and-needles” sensation in the hands or fingers. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term nerve damage.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Our goal is to relieve pain, reduce nerve compression, and restore full function without the need for surgery (in most cases). We use evidence-based, non-invasive therapies to ensure safe and lasting recovery.
1. Detailed Evaluation & Diagnosis
Your care begins with a full physical assessment and neurological examination. We may use advanced imaging tools such as MRI or CT scans to confirm the affected nerve root and identify the exact cause of compression.
2. Pain and Inflammation Management
We use a combination of:
-
Anti-inflammatory medications (if needed)
-
Cold/heat therapy to relieve muscle tightness
-
Neck immobilization (short-term cervical collars) to reduce movement and irritation
-
Manual therapy to gently mobilize the spine
3. Physical Therapy
Our experienced physiotherapists design a personalized program that includes:
-
Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises
-
Postural correction to relieve pressure on the nerves
-
Nerve gliding techniques to improve mobility
-
Progressive resistance training to restore muscle strength
4. Spinal Decompression & Traction
For some patients, spinal traction (gentle stretching of the spine) can relieve pressure on the affected nerve and reduce symptoms significantly.
5. Education and Prevention
We educate patients about lifestyle modifications, proper ergonomics, and sleeping positions that prevent worsening or recurrence. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to maintain a healthy spine.
