Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment
The Comprehensive Approach to Cervical Radiculopathy Treatment
Cervical Radiculopathy is a common neurological condition that occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated, resulting in pain, weakness, and numbness that can radiate down the arm. At Pain Management Care, PC, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment options for Cervical Radiculopathy to help patients find relief and improve their quality of life.
Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical Radiculopathy is usually caused by degenerative changes in the spine, such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis. The condition can also be a result of traumatic injuries or tumors affecting the nerve roots in the cervical spine. Symptoms often include neck pain, shooting pain down the arm, muscle weakness, and tingling or numbness in the affected area.
Customized Treatment Plans
At Pain Management Care, PC, we believe in personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's specific needs. Our team of highly skilled doctors will perform a thorough evaluation and diagnosis to develop a treatment strategy that combines non-surgical interventions and advanced techniques to effectively manage your Cervical Radiculopathy.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Depending on the severity and underlying cause of Cervical Radiculopathy, conservative approaches may be recommended as a first line of treatment. These may include:
- Physical Therapy: Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through exercises and techniques that help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the neck and shoulder area.
- Medication Management: Our pain management specialists may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or other medications to help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
- Interventional Procedures: Our interventional pain specialists are skilled in performing image-guided injections, such as epidural steroid injections or nerve blocks, to target the source of pain and provide long-lasting relief.
Advanced Treatment Techniques
In cases where non-surgical options do not provide sufficient relief, we offer advanced treatment techniques to address Cervical Radiculopathy. These may include:
- Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections: This procedure involves the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space of the cervical spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
- Percutaneous Discectomy: A minimally invasive procedure where a small incision is made to remove the herniated disc material that may be compressing the nerve.
- Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation: This technique uses radiofrequency energy to target and disrupt the nerve signals responsible for transmitting pain, providing long-term relief.
