Are You Living with Cervical Radiculopathy? We Can Help
Do you have a pinching pain in your neck? The cause of this aggravation could be a herniated disc or a narrowing of the foramen (the space where nerves exit the spine). When these conditions compress the cervical nerves branching out from the spinal cord, you may have pain in your neck and all the way down to your hands and fingers — a condition known as “radiculopathy.”
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes inflamed and or damaged. The damage can be due to many things, such as spinal deterioration or an injury. People between the ages of 25 and 50 are most likely to suffer from this condition. In fact, 83 out of 100,000 people are reported to suffer from radiculopathy frequently.
The most common symptom of cervical radiculopathy that we see in patients is an irritation or sensitivity in the neck area that may make it uncomfortable and/or difficult to move the neck in certain ways. Fortunately, at McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy, our physical therapists in Warminster and New Britain, PA have the knowledge, experience, methods, and modalities necessary to treat you.
