If your neck, shoulder, and arm are all bothering than you probably are experiencing cervical radiculopathy. We jokingly call it cervical ridiculousopathy because it is just ridiculous that you would be getting all these symptoms in your arm from some nerve irritation in your neck! But its true, and super annoying if you are experiencing it.
Often when we treat patients with pain in their arm, we find that their symptoms came on slowly over time. Their arm and neck become more sensitive and they start having pain, tingling, aching and an overall heavy feeling.
Typically what causes these symptoms is a culmination of overall lack of movement and being in one position for too long. This where Mission MOVE steps in! We get people moving and doing specific mobility drills to get them going again and reduce their symptoms. Sometimes we will also use cervical traction and some dry needling to help get symptoms under control.
Here are some of the first things that we have patients do when they come in with radiculapathy.
If you live in Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, or Johns Creek and you are experiencing neck pain with symptoms going down into your arm, we would love to help you! Since 2008 Mission Move has helped active adults and athletes continue to work out, run, play golf and tennis, and all the other active things they love. Reach out if you have been having these symptoms, we would love to chat. 678-400-0300
