Similar to lower back pain, cervical pain affects a large number of patients and is usually due to discopathy or degenerative arthritis.

Sometimes cervical pain is an indication of more serious conditions, such as spinal cord pressure or spine instability.

Cervical radiculopathy originates from nerve root pressure in the cervical region. It leads to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hands, palms, and fingers. Similarly to lumbar radiculopathy, the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy is based on the localization of the symptoms, ascertaining exactly which nerve has been affected. The most common cause is intervertebral disc herniation or stenosis of the intervertebral foramen.

TREATMENT

The treatment of cervical pain bears several similarities to the treatment of lower back pain. It includes oral medication, physiotherapy, epidural corticosteroid injections, and small nerve cauterization in affected joints.

Our goal is to provide complete relief from pain and avoid surgical interventions.
