Cervical Radiculopathy/Herniated Disc(Pinched nerve)

Pain in the neck that radiates to the shoulder, arm, or hand often times is caused by an irritation or injury to the nerves at the level of the spinal root near the neck. As vertebral disks age, they lose height and may begin to bulge or herniate.

Evaluation & Treatment

How We Diagnose Cervical Radiculopathy/Herniated Disc

Evaluation includes a detailed history and examination. Special maneuvers including strength, sensation, and reflexes testing are done. X-rays are evaluated to check the alignment of the bones. An MRI may be ordered to evaluate disk bulges and nerve root or spinal cord compression. In some cases electromyography and nerve conduction studies may be ordered evaluate the nerves further.

Nonsurgical

A majority of patients with cervical radiculopathy get better with time, medication, and physical therapy. Occasionally those with MRI findings that do not improve may benefit from spinal injections.

Surgical

In those who do not find relief with the above treatment and who have MRI findings, surgical treatment may be recommended. Recovery from spinal surgery depends on the procedure performed and typically takes several months.
