Take Control of Your Cervical Pain Today

Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment in Phoenix

Neck pain that shoots into the shoulder, arm, or hand, tingling, numbness, weakness, or burning pain often can stop you in your tracks. Many people live with these symptoms without knowing the exact cause. One common nerve-related neck and arm pain is cervical radiculopathy. At Comprehensive Pain Management, we provide expert diagnosis and advanced cervical radiculopathy treatment in Phoenix to help patients regain comfort, strength, and control of their lives.

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:

Epidural Steroid Injections

They reduce inflammation around compressed nerve roots to relieve pain, improve mobility, and decrease nerve irritation.

Cervical Medial Branch Blocks

They can identify facet joint–related pain and help confirm whether joints are the source of symptoms.

Radiofrequency Ablation

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

Trigger Point Injections

They relax tight neck and shoulder muscles that worsen nerve pain and limit normal movement.

Regenerative Medicine

It supports tissue healing, improves cellular repair, and reduces inflammation around damaged spinal structures.

They strengthen the neck, improve posture, increase flexibility, and reduce pressure on irritated nerves.

Dr. Keller saved my hands! I had severe bilateral wrist pain for many years and he did PRP for me and I haven’t had pain since. So grateful for his expertise.
