Neck Pain, Arm Pain, and Cervical Spine Health

Key Conditions:

  • Cervical Radiculopathy: Nerve compression in the neck causing arm pain and potential weakness.
  • Cervical Myelopathy: Compression of the spinal cord itself

Diagnosis & Management:

Diagnosis is made through a thorough history, physical examination, and imaging such as MRI, CT, X-ray, or bone scans. We prioritize non-operative treatments first, including:

  • Physiotherapy, massage, and acupuncture.
  • Analgesia (pain medication).
  • Spinal injections.

Surgery is considered if symptoms of pain or weakness worsen or fail to improve over several weeks or months.
