Because you use your neck all day every day, it’s subject to a lot of wear and tear. At the same time, poor posture, sitting in front of a screen all day, playing contact sports and lack of strengthening exercises weaken the muscles and ligaments needed to support all that movement. Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve becomes compressed between discs in your neck or upper back. The pain can be excruciating or mildly annoying. Either way, your life is disrupted. Take care of the pain and get the proper treatment for a pinched nerve in your upper back at New Jersey’s premier pain management center: Redefine Healthcare. Call today for an appointment.
If you’re experiencing excruciating upper back pain around your neck or shoulder, it’s likely you have a pinched nerve in the cervical spine causing a condition known as cervical radiculopathy. Your cervical spine, which is the uppermost part of your spine, is made up of seven vertebral levels, referred to as C1 through C7. This section provides support for your neck and head, allows neck movement, and houses and protects the spinal cord.
The cervical spinal section also is made up of nerves, muscles, ligaments and tendons. The spinal nerves, which send signals from the brain to different parts of the body, exit the spinal cord through holes in your spine called intervertebral foramina. An inflammation or injury to these nerve roots leads to debilitating pain, numbness, loss of motion and weakness.
For pain relief and to restore function in your neck and shoulder, your spine needs immediate medical attention by a pain management specialist. At Redefine Healthcare in New Jersey, a pain management team diagnoses and treats your neck pain or shoulder pain caused by the pinched nerve in the neck.
