What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine (neck) becomes irritated or compressed. This often results in pain, numbness, or weakness that affects the shoulders, arms, and hands—sometimes mimicking carpal tunnel or shoulder conditions.

Common Symptoms:

Sharp, burning, or radiating pain from the neck to the arm
Tingling or numbness in the hand or fingers
Muscle weakness or reduced grip strength
Pain that worsens with certain neck movements or sitting posture

Typical Causes Include:

Herniated cervical disc
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis
Bone spurs from arthritis
Repetitive strain or trauma

Whether symptoms started suddenly or have been developing gradually, early diagnosis and the right treatment plan are key to long-term relief.

Diagnosis and Evaluation in West Orange

Your journey at NYSI West Orange begins with a detailed consultation. Our spine specialists will assess your symptoms, physical function, and medical history. Based on your presentation, we may recommend:

X-rays to examine spinal alignment and disc height
MRI scans for detailed soft tissue and nerve imaging
EMG testing in certain cases to evaluate nerve response

Our goal is to identify the precise cause of your nerve pain and develop a strategy tailored to your lifestyle and recovery goals.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Cervical Radiculopathy

Most patients find lasting relief through conservative, non-surgical care. At NYSI West Orange, we use evidence-based techniques to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on the nerve, and promote healing.

Treatment Options May Include:

Physical therapy to correct posture, reduce strain, and strengthen supporting muscles
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or short courses of oral steroids
Cervical traction to gently stretch the spine and alleviate nerve compression
Epidural steroid injections for targeted, image-guided pain relief
Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching to reduce recurrence

When Surgery Is Needed

If conservative treatments don’t provide adequate relief—or if you experience progressive weakness or loss of function—our spine surgeons may recommend minimally invasive procedures to decompress the nerve and stabilize the spine.

Surgical Options Available:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Cervical Foraminotomy
Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement

Each procedure is performed with precision and personalized to your anatomy, condition severity, and recovery goals. Minimally invasive methods are used whenever possible to reduce recovery time and post-operative discomfort.
