Neck Pain & Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment
Image-guided care for neck pain, arm pain, and cervical disc problems without surgery.
Overview
Understanding Neck Pain & Cervical Radiculopathy
Neck pain that radiates into the shoulder blade or down the arm usually means a cervical nerve is irritated. Desk posture, old whiplash injuries, and degenerative disc change all contribute. Treatment is built on identifying the level involved and calming it with precision rather than treating the whole neck at once.
Common symptoms
- Neck pain radiating into the shoulder blade or arm
- Numbness or tingling in the hand or fingers
- Grip weakness or dropping objects
- Headaches originating at the base of the skull
- Pain worsened by looking up or turning the head
Common Causes
- Cervical disc herniation or degenerative disc disease
- Cervical facet joint arthritis
- Foraminal stenosis narrowing the nerve exit
- Prior whiplash or sports trauma
- Chronic postural loading from desk and screen work
How we diagnose it
- Neurologic exam mapping symptoms to a specific nerve level
- Independent review of cervical MRI or X-ray
- Ultrasound assessment of surrounding soft tissue when relevant
- Diagnostic blocks when more than one level could be responsible

FAQs
Neck Pain & Cervical Radiculopathy — Questions Patients Ask
Are cervical injections safe?
They're performed under live fluoroscopy with sterile technique after a full review of your history, imaging, and medications.

Frequently. Upper cervical joints refer pain into the head, and treating them can change headache patterns.
Will I need a cervical fusion?
Many patients avoid it. We'll tell you honestly when a surgical opinion is genuinely warranted.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two, with specific limits for the first week.
