What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck) becomes irritated or compressed. This compression can lead to:

Sharp or burning pain from the neck into the arm or hand
Numbness or tingling in the fingers
Muscle weakness or coordination loss in the upper extremities
Increased pain with head or neck movement

Common Causes:

Herniated discs pushing on a nerve
Spinal stenosis, narrowing the nerve pathways
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs from arthritis
Repetitive motion injuries or trauma

Early evaluation is key to preventing long-term nerve damage and regaining strength.

How We Diagnose a Pinched Nerve in the Neck

At NYSI Queens, diagnosis begins with a full physical and neurological exam. We evaluate your:

Range of motion
Reflexes and sensory response
Arm and shoulder strength
Pain patterns and function

On-site imaging may include:

X-rays to assess disc space and bone structure
MRI to visualize nerve roots and soft tissue
CT scans or EMG testing, if more detail is needed

Our Queens location ensures you receive a fast and accurate diagnosis—close to home.

Conservative Treatment for Cervical Radiculopathy

Most patients improve without surgery. At our Kew Gardens office, we create customized, non-surgical care plans including:

Physical therapy for neck mobility, posture, and strength
NSAIDs or anti-inflammatory medication
Cervical traction to relieve nerve pressure
Epidural steroid injections for targeted relief
Lifestyle coaching on work ergonomics and sleep positioning

We’ll monitor your progress closely and adjust treatment as needed.

Surgical Treatment Options (When Needed)

If conservative care doesn’t relieve your symptoms—or if there’s evidence of serious nerve damage—our Queens spine surgeons may recommend surgery. We specialize in minimally invasive procedures that decompress nerves while preserving motion.

Surgical Options at NYSI Queens:

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

We’ll explain all available options clearly and help you make a decision based on your comfort, lifestyle, and goals.
