Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy: Treatment Options for Nerve Pain
A pinched nerve in the neck, known as cervical radiculopathy, can cause significant discomfort and interfere with daily activities. This condition occurs when nerve roots in the cervical spine become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the arm and into the hands.
Common symptoms include sharp neck pain, muscle weakness in the shoulders and arms, tingling sensations in the fingers, and reduced grip strength. These symptoms often worsen with certain neck movements or positions.
While some cases resolve with conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication, persistent symptoms may require surgical intervention. Modern minimally invasive spine surgery offers effective solutions with smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Endoscopic procedures can precisely target the source of nerve compression while preserving healthy spine structures.
