Cervical Radiculopathy treatment in Naucalpan de Juárez

Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that arises when a nerve root in the neck is compressed or irritated, which causes discomfort that may extend toward the shoulder, the arm, or the hand.

Common causes: It is frequently related to degenerative changes of the vertebrae, disc herniations, or the wear associated with the passage of time.

Common symptoms: Pain that radiates down the arm, tingling, a sensation of numbness, and, in some cases, weakness or loss of strength in the hand.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the orthopedist, particularly those who focus on the spine, evaluate this condition, and physical therapy usually supports the recovery. If neck pain that travels down the arm persists or is accompanied by weakness, it is advisable to request an evaluation to guide the appropriate management.
