Trusted Relief for Pinched Nerves at NYSI

Pain that travels from your neck into your shoulder, arm, or hand may be more than a simple strain—it could be cervical radiculopathy, commonly known as a pinched nerve in the neck. At New York Spine Institute, our team of board-certified spine specialists offers advanced diagnostics and treatment plans tailored to relieve nerve compression and restore quality of life.

With locations throughout New York and New Jersey, we make it easy to access top-level care for cervical radiculopathy—delivered by a multidisciplinary team under one trusted brand.

What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck) becomes compressed or inflamed. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including:

Sharp or burning neck pain radiating into the shoulder, arm, or hand
Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensations
Muscle weakness or decreased coordination in the upper extremities
Pain that worsens with certain neck movements

Common causes include:

Herniated discs
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of nerve passageways)
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs (osteophytes)
Neck trauma or repetitive strain

At NYSI, we focus on early diagnosis and comprehensive care to alleviate pain and prevent long-term complications.

How We Diagnose Pinched Nerves

Accurate diagnosis is essential to effective treatment. At NYSI, your consultation begins with a thorough physical and neurological exam to assess reflexes, range of motion, strength, and sensation.

We may also recommend:

X-rays to evaluate spine alignment and disc space
MRI to assess soft tissues and nerve compression
CT scan or EMG testing for complex cases

With access to advanced imaging and diagnostics at several of our locations, you can expect a streamlined path from evaluation to treatment.

Non-Surgical Treatment for Cervical Radiculopathy

Most patients experience significant relief through conservative care. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

Physical therapy focused on posture correction, mobility, and muscle support
Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) or oral steroids
Cervical traction to gently decompress nerves
Epidural steroid injections for targeted inflammation relief
Ergonomic and lifestyle counseling to support long-term recovery

We tailor every care plan to your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

When Surgery Is Needed

If symptoms persist or you experience severe weakness or functional decline, surgical intervention may be appropriate. NYSI surgeons are nationally recognized for their expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery, offering procedures that relieve compression while preserving mobility. Surgical options include:

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

Our team will guide you through your options, explain benefits and risks, and ensure your comfort every step of the way.
