Many people live with these symptoms without knowing the exact cause. One common nerve-related neck and arm pain is cervical radiculopathy.

What is Cervical Radiculopathy?

The cervical radiculopathy condition is caused by nerve root irritation or compression in your cervical spine (neck). These nerve roots exit the spine and travel into the shoulders, arms, and hands. When a nerve root is compressed, it cannot send signals normally. This leads to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the nerve’s path. In the body, this condition disrupts communication between the brain and upper extremities, which can affect strength, coordination, and sensation. So advanced cervical radiculopathy treatment in Phoenix is required.

Cervical Radiculopathy Symptoms

  • Neck pain that radiates into the shoulder or arm
  • Tingling or “pins and needles” in the arm or hand
  • Numbness in fingers or hand
  • Muscle weakness in the arm or grip
  • Burning or sharp shooting pain
  • Pain that worsens with neck movement

Diagnosing Radiculopathy

At Comprehensive Pain Management, before doing any cervical radiculopathy treatment in Phoenix, we start with an accurate diagnosis. We use a thorough and step-by-step diagnostic approach. This includes a detailed medical history, physical and neurological exams, and advanced diagnostic testing when needed. Imaging studies, nerve conduction studies, and EMG testing may be used to confirm nerve involvement and pinpoint the exact source of compression.

Our Cervical Radiculopathy Therapies in Phoenix

Our cervical radiculopathy specialist, Dr. KellerShabrokh, offers personalized treatment plans to reduce nerve irritation, relieve pain, and restore function.

Our cervical radiculopathy treatment in Phoenix can include:

It can disrupt pain signals from targeted nerves, providing longer-lasting relief for chronic neck pain.

Surgery aims to remove pressure from the affected nerve, usually when conservative treatments fail.

Poor posture, repetitive neck movement, heavy lifting, and untreated inflammation can worsen symptoms.
