Understanding Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical radiculopathy, often referred to as a pinched nerve in the neck, occurs when a nerve in the cervical spine is compressed or irritated as it branches away from the spinal cord. This condition can cause pain, weakness, and numbness that radiates from the neck into the shoulders and arms. It is crucial to understand the symptoms and seek appropriate treatment to prevent further complications.

Importance of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a non-invasive treatment option that can effectively manage and alleviate the symptoms of cervical radiculopathy. At Britannia Medicare Kandy, our skilled physiotherapists use a combination of techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles around the affected area.
