Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve in Neck)
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed as it exits the spine.
Understanding the Pathology
Herniated discs or bone spurs narrow the cervical neural foramen.
First-Line Conservative Management
Physical therapy, traction, and selective nerve blocks.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Protocol
Under the direct care of Dr. Achal Gupta (Consultant Neurosurgeon & Endoscopic Spine Surgeon), clinical diagnosis is established through methodical physical, neurological, and advanced imaging/electrophysiological correlation to provide the most effective treatment outcome.
Common Symptoms & Warning Signs
Symptoms vary based on underlying pathology, duration of symptoms, and individual patient factors.
Radiating Arm Pain
Sharp pain traveling down the arm into the fingers.
How is this Condition Evaluated?
A methodical diagnostic process ensuring precise identification of the underlying generator and functional impact.
Cervical Spine MRI
Visualizes disc protrusions and neural foraminal narrowing.
When is Advanced Intervention Considered?
Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy directly decompresses the nerve without fusion.
When to Seek Urgent Medical Evaluation
While many conditions can be evaluated electively, the following signs warrant immediate medical consultation:
- •Gait unsteadiness
- •Cervical myelopathy signs
Procedures & Surgical Treatments
Minimally invasive keyhole and neurosurgical techniques applied to treat Cervical Radiculopathy.
Full-Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy
Ultra-minimally invasive removal of herniated lumbar disc fragments through a 7-8mm keyhole under high-definition endoscopic visualization.
Full-Endoscopic Spinal Canal Decompression
Minimally invasive decompression of spinal canal stenosis (ULBD) relieving pressure on the central cord and traversing nerve roots without fusion.
Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy
Minimally invasive decompression of cervical nerve roots from the posterior approach, preserving natural neck mobility.
