Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that occurs when a nerve in your neck becomes compressed or irritated, leading to pain and other symptoms. You might also hear it called simply a pinched nerve in the neck.
This can happen when a herniated disc or a bone spur puts pressure on the nerve as it exits the spinal cord.
Cervical radiculopathy symptoms can include pain that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm, and hand, as well as weakness or numbness in the affected arm.
Best practice treatment for cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) includes physiotherapy, pain medication or even surgery to relieve pressure on the affected nerve.
Physio treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck involves gentle hands-on (manual) therapy, prescribed exercises and tips on posture, to help get you back to optimal movement.
