Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a structure in the neck compresses a nerve root commonly causing radiating pain into the arm with a loss of strength, reflexes or light touch. This can be quite serious if the issue progresses, but for many cases can be managed conservatively. Your physiotherapist will assess the degree of loss and determine the best route of action for your case. This most commonly involves manual therapy and exercises to improve strength in the neck and mobility in the nerves that are affected.
