Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy is a condition in which a nerve in the neck becomes “pinched” or compressed as it leaves the spinal canal. Common causes of the nerve root compression include foraminal stenosis, disc herniation, disc or joint degeneration and bone spurs.
Symptoms
Symptoms of cervical radiculopathy include “pins and needles” tingling, numbness, weakness and pain that may stay local to one area like the shoulder or may radiate down the arm into the hands and fingers. Depending which nerve is irritated, you may notice weakness and difficulty with gripping objects, typing, writing or lifting. The symptoms are typically on just one side of the body, but in some cases both sides are affected.
