It is characterised by neck pain with pain radiating down the arm and many times associated with tingling and numbness which can extend upto the fingers. Clinically cervical radiculopathy might present as pain with sensory disturbances, weakness in specific muscle groups of the upper limb and altered reflexes or a combination of the above. Cervical radiculopathy ensues as wear and tear in the supporting discs alters its consistency and can lead to compromise of the cushioning effects of the discs.Degenerative Cervical disc disease-There are six jelly like cervical discs which act as natural shock absorbers present in the neck. The disc is structurally filled on the inside with a mucoprotein gel and is referred to as the nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus is a thin yet flexible layer of woven cartilage strands known as the annulus fibrosus. The discs are essentially filled with water and as the age advances, the water content starts decreasing.
