Relieve radiating neck pain with expert, personalized care in the Hudson Valley.

Advanced Care for Pinched Nerves at NYSI Newburgh

Cervical radiculopathy—often referred to as a pinched nerve in the neck—can cause more than just stiffness or soreness. Many patients experience sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the neck down into the shoulders, arms, or hands. At New York Spine Institute in Newburgh, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cervical radiculopathy with precision, compassion, and the latest non-surgical and surgical techniques.

Located at 12 Hudson Valley Professional Plaza, our Newburgh office delivers comprehensive spine care to patients across Orange, Ulster, and Dutchess Counties, making expert treatment accessible without a long commute to the city.

What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when one of the nerve roots in the cervical spine becomes compressed or irritated. This can disrupt nerve signals and cause symptoms that affect your daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life.

Common Causes:

Herniated cervical discs
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs from arthritis
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Trauma or repetitive neck strain

When pressure is placed on a nerve, you may feel radiating discomfort in one arm, along with weakness or numbness in the hands or fingers.

Diagnosing Cervical Radiculopathy in Newburgh

Our process begins with a detailed physical exam and neurological evaluation. We assess your neck movement, muscle strength, and reflexes, then use advanced imaging—MRI, X-ray, or CT scans—to pinpoint the affected nerve root and confirm the diagnosis.

At our Newburgh office, patients benefit from fast, coordinated diagnostics and prompt access to specialists—all in one convenient location.

Conservative Treatment Options

Most cases of cervical radiculopathy can be managed without surgery. At NYSI Newburgh, we emphasize a conservative, step-by-step approach that may include:

Physical therapy focused on posture, core strength, and cervical mobility
Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) to reduce swelling
Cervical traction to relieve pressure on the affected nerve
Epidural steroid injections for targeted, long-lasting pain relief
Ergonomic and lifestyle coaching to minimize symptom triggers

Our care plans are customized to your goals, daily activities, and medical history, ensuring the right balance of relief and recovery.

Surgical Options for Advanced Cases

If non-surgical treatments fail to relieve your symptoms—or if the nerve compression is severe—our board-certified spine surgeons may recommend minimally invasive surgery. These procedures are designed to relieve nerve pressure and restore spinal alignment with minimal downtime.

Surgical Treatments Offered at NYSI:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Cervical disc replacement (motion-preserving alternative to fusion)
Posterior cervical foraminotomy

Each surgery is selected based on your imaging results, symptoms, and overall health, with a focus on minimizing risk and maximizing recovery.
