Cervical radiculopathy is a condition caused by the compression or irritation of nerves in the neck region, often due to a herniated disc, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis. This compression can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the arm, affecting daily activities. Symptoms may vary but commonly include sharp or burning pain, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to identify the underlying cause. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or, in severe cases, surgery.
