Condition : Cervical Radiculopathy

Description

This condition is an irritation or compression of one or more nerve roots in the cervical spine. Because these nerves travel to the shoulders, arms and hands, an injury in the cervical spine can cause symptoms in these areas. Cervical Radiculopathy may result from a variety of problems with the bones and tissues of the cervical spinal column.
