Cervical radiculopathy.
Localize the level. Then treat it.
A pinched nerve in the neck radiates pain, numbness, and sometimes weakness into a specific arm. The dermatomal pattern points at the level — imaging confirms it.
If this is you, we can help.
Sharp, burning, or electric pain radiating from the neck into the shoulder, arm, forearm, or specific fingers. Numbness or tingling in a recognizable distribution. Weakness in a specific muscle group (deltoid, biceps, triceps, grip). Pain worse with specific neck positions, often relief with the arm raised overhead.
Your first visit.
A focused neurologic examination identifying the level. Review of imaging — MRI is the standard. Sometimes EMG/NCS to confirm and quantify nerve involvement. A staged plan starting with targeted physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and activity modification.
Conservative care first. Targeted interventions if it does not resolve.
Most cervical radiculopathy resolves with conservative care over six to twelve weeks. For symptoms that persist or progress, an image-guided cervical epidural steroid injection or selective nerve root block at the affected level often produces durable relief. Surgical referral — for cervical microdiscectomy or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion — is reserved for progressive neurologic findings or refractory pain with confirmed structural cause.
Stop accepting the downtime.
Identify the level. Treat the nerve. Schedule a consultation at any Triumph location.
