Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment

The spine and neck are interconnected, enough so that your neck is technically classified as the cervical part of the spine. This contains the C1 up to C8, a series of nerve roots that pass through spinal vertebrae.

The job of these nerve roots is to allow the skin to feel via sensory fibers and keep the fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders working normally.

When nerve damage occurs, though, that’s when you need to see a chiropractic doctor.

Cervical Radiculopathy

The Basics of Cervical Radiculopathy

The nerve injury in the cervical spine is known as cervical radiculopathy. As you can imagine, it’s the fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders that are often symptomatic.

Conditions like cervical degenerative disc disease, cervical spinal stenosis, and cervical herniated discs can all be responsible for the nerve pinching that occurs with cervical radiculopathy. In rare cases, sarcoidosis, infections, fractures, and even tumors may trigger the onset of this condition.

What Are the Symptoms?

Besides numbness or a pins and needles feeling, symptoms are often not similar. If the C8 is injured, for instance, you may have a hard time using your fingers. If the C7 is targeted, then your middle finger, triceps, hand, and neck may be symptomatic. If it’s the C6, expect the index finger, thumb, wrists, and biceps to suffer recurrent pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help?

By seeing your chiropractor in NYC, you can address your cervical radiculopathy pain and discomfort. A chiropractor can administer treatments like adjustments, manipulations, and spinal decompressions. These techniques, the latter especially, are used to reduce pressure on a pinched nerve, such as the cervical nerves.

That should eliminate the numbness and pain you’re feeling from your cervical radiculopathy. Chiropractic care can be a great alternative to surgery, as it’s holistic and thus is low-risk and has few if any side effects.
