Cervical radiculopathy is a painful condition caused by compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the cervical spine (neck). At Align Health, we understand the impact of cervical radiculopathy on your daily life, and our compassionate team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing effective solutions to alleviate your pain and restore comfort and function to your neck and upper extremities.
Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy:
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when the nerve roots in the cervical spine become compressed or inflamed, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. Common causes of cervical radiculopathy include:
Herniated Disc: A bulging or herniated disc in the cervical spine can press on the nerve roots, causing symptoms.
Degenerative Disc Disease: The natural aging process can cause the discs in the neck to degenerate, putting pressure on the nerve roots.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerve roots, leading to radiculopathy.
Bone Spurs: Abnormal bony growths can develop on the vertebrae and compress the nerve roots.
Our Approach to Relief:
At Align Health, we take a personalized and comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat cervical radiculopathy. Our experienced healthcare providers will conduct a thorough evaluation, considering your medical history and lifestyle, to identify the root cause of your symptoms. Based on the diagnosis, we will create a tailored treatment plan that may include:
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help realign the cervical spine and alleviate pressure on the nerve roots.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the neck and upper extremity muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
Spinal Decompression: This non-surgical treatment can relieve pressure on the nerves and discs in the cervical spine.
