Cervical radiculopathy

This short video shows Cervical radiculopathy in the context of “Radiculopathy.” Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck is pinched or irritated—usually from a herniated disc, muscle spasm, or poor posture. It also shows the areas where pain, burning or tingling may travel when a nerve structure is irritated or sensitive to movement.

What can you see in the clip?

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck is pinched or irritated—usually from a herniated disc, muscle spasm, or poor posture. The clip places this within “Radiculopathy” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.

How does this relate to symptoms?

Nerve-related symptoms are not always felt where the irritation begins. The visual shows a possible symptom pathway, while movement, strength and sensitivity still need to be assessed in the individual person.

How should you use this information?

This is an educational visual linked to “Radiculopathy.” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
