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.
