What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Cervical radiculopathy happens when a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck) becomes compressed or inflamed. This can disrupt communication between the spinal cord and the shoulder, arm, or hand.

Symptoms Often Include:

Sharp, burning, or radiating neck and shoulder pain
Numbness or tingling in the arms or fingers
Muscle weakness or loss of grip strength
Pain that worsens when turning or tilting the head

Common Causes:

Herniated cervical discs
Spinal stenosis (narrowed nerve pathways)
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs due to arthritis
Trauma or repetitive motion injuries

Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent long-term nerve damage and improve your quality of life.

Diagnosing a Pinched Nerve in the Neck

At NYSI Commack, our specialists start with a thorough clinical exam to assess your posture, muscle strength, reflexes, and range of motion.

We may recommend:

X-rays to examine disc spacing and bone changes
MRI for detailed soft tissue and nerve imaging
CT or EMG testing in more complex cases

Non-Surgical Treatments for Cervical Radiculopathy

In most cases, cervical radiculopathy improves with conservative care. At NYSI Commack, we design custom treatment plans that may include:

Physical therapy to improve neck alignment, strengthen muscles, and relieve nerve pressure
Anti-inflammatory medications or oral steroids to reduce swelling
Cervical traction to gently decompress the spinal nerve
Epidural steroid injections for targeted pain relief
Posture and ergonomic coaching to prevent recurrence

Our integrated care model ensures that you receive coordinated treatment without the need for outside referrals.

Surgical Options for Severe Nerve Compression

If non-surgical treatments don’t provide relief—or if you’re experiencing weakness or impaired function—surgery may be the next step. Our Commack-based spine surgeons specialize in minimally invasive procedures that reduce recovery time and preserve neck mobility.

Common Procedures Include:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Cervical foraminotomy
Artificial disc replacement

These surgeries are performed with precision, guided by advanced imaging and tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
