Cervical Radiculopathy is a condition characterized by the damage or irritation of a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck). This typically occurs when there is compression or inflammation of one of the spinal nerve roots as it exits the spinal canal in the neck. Common culprits include a herniated cervical disc, which presses directly on the nerve, or the formation of osteophytes (bone spurs) secondary to degenerative changes, narrowing the neural foramen through which the nerve passes. As a result, individuals experience a range of symptoms that radiate from the neck into the shoulder, arm, hand, or fingers, often including sharp, burning pain, numbness, tingling (paresthesia), and sometimes weakness in the specific muscle groups supplied by the affected nerve root. The precise symptoms depend on which nerve root is involved, making diagnosis crucial for targeted treatment. Click at - Cervical Radiculopathy NJ
