Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical radiculopathy refers to the pain felt in the neck and back that is caused by the pinching of a nerve root. If you are suffering from this type of pain in Chicago, then you may notice that your daily routine is affected. Cervical radiculopathy has a number of causes, most commonly spinal stenosis, disc herniation or degenerative disc disease.

Spinal stenosis is the condition in which the space in the spinal canal is restricted due to the inward growth of the bones of the spine. Disc herniation refers to the rupture of a spinal disc which causes pressure against the nerve root, leading to tingling, numbness and pain across the body. Degenerative disc disease is a condition that involves the weakening of the spinal disc that leads to movement of the spinal column in a way that places pressure on the nerve roots. If any of these conditions are causing you pain, then seeking effective neck pain treatment is the answer.
