What we treat Neck and headaches
Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy, often referred to as a "pinched nerve," occurs when a nerve root in the neck is compressed or inflamed as it exits the spinal column. This condition typically results from disc herniation or degenerative changes in the spine, leading to neurological symptoms that can radiate from the neck down into the shoulder, arm, and hand.
Common Symptoms
A sharp, burning sensation that travels from the neck down the shoulder, arm, and sometimes into the hand.
Frequent 'pins and needles' sensations or loss of feeling in specific areas of the arm or fingers.
Unexpected difficulty when lifting objects or performing simple tasks that require grip strength and coordination.
Our Clinical Approach
We utilize a multi-modal clinical approach to address cervical radiculopathy at its source. Our treatment combines precise manual therapy techniques to improve joint mobility with specialized dry needling to release deep muscle tension and reduce nerve irritation. By integrating these evidence-based therapies, we bridge the gap between initial relief and long-term functional recovery, ensuring each patient receives concierge-level care focused on their specific neurological and mechanical needs.
Exercises to Start With
Nerve glides - Gentle movements designed to alleviate nerve pressure and restore mobility. Please perform these under professional guidance.
Chin Tucks: Gently draw your chin straight back while looking forward to activate deep neck flexors.
Scapular Squeezes: Pinch your shoulder blades together and down to improve postural support for the cervical spine.
Lateral Stretches: Slowly tilt your ear towards your shoulder until a gentle stretch is felt on the opposite side.
Trap Stretches: Gently guide your head away from the affected side to release tension in the upper neck muscles.
