A trapped nerve in the neck? Most cases settle without surgery.
Cervical radiculopathy is an irritated nerve in the neck that can cause pain, pins-and-needles or weakness in the shoulder, arm or hand. Research suggests most people recover with conservative care:
- Exercise reduces pain and disability
- Neck and shoulder-blade strengthening gives your neck support
- Gentle nerve-gliding and light neck traction can ease arm symptoms
- Keep your neck gently moving and set your screen up well
Seek medical help urgently for worsening arm weakness, hand clumsiness, or any bladder or bowel changes.
