Cervical radiculopathy is a condition caused by compression or irritation of a cervical nerve root, most commonly due to disc herniation, degenerative changes, or foraminal narrowing.
Common Clinical Features:
Neck pain
Radiating pain into the shoulder, arm, or hand
Numbness or tingling (paresthesia)
Muscle weakness in a dermatomal/myotomal pattern
Reduced cervical range of motion
Positive neural tension tests (e.g., Spurling’s test)
Physiotherapy Management Includes:
Detailed assessment and neurological examination
Pain modulation techniques
Cervical mobilization / traction (as indicated)
Neural mobilization
Postural correction and ergonomic advice
Therapeutic exercises for stabilization and mobility
Early and appropriate physiotherapy intervention plays a key role in symptom reduction and functional recovery.
Case / Video Description
A patient diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy (neck pain radiating to the arm) reported approximately 80% symptom relief after just one physiotherapy session.
This video presents real patient feedback, highlighting the importance of accurate assessment and targeted physiotherapy treatment in managing cervical nerve root symptoms effectively.
