Nerve-related neck and arm pain caused by pressure on a nerve root in the cervical spine.
Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the neck (cervical spine) becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a disc bulge, degenerative changes or posture-related strain. The result is pain, tingling or weakness that can radiate from the neck down into the shoulder, arm or hand.
Our treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the affected nerve, restoring healthy neck movement, and correcting the postural habits that often contribute to the problem in the first place.

A non-surgical path to recovery for most cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Not always — many cases are diagnosed clinically. An MRI is usually reserved for cases that aren't improving or where symptoms are severe.
Most cases of cervical radiculopathy respond well to conservative physiotherapy, and surgery is only considered when symptoms are severe or persistent despite treatment.
