Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy and the Role of Interventional Pain Management
Cervical radiculopathy, commonly referred to as a "pinched nerve" in the neck, is a condition that causes pain and discomfort originating from the cervical spine (neck area) and radiates down through the shoulders, arms, and hands. This pain results from compression or irritation of one or more nerves in the cervical spine, often due to herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or other spinal issues.
