When one of the nerve roots close to the cervical vertebrae is compressed, it can cause damage to a nerve or change the way it functions. This condition is known as cervical radiculopathy, also known as a pinched nerve. Your cervical spine, or neck, is made up of these seven tiny vertebrae, which start at the base of your skull. This is where cervical radiculopathy manifests itself. Your muscles and your brain exchange messages via the nerves that pass through your cervical spine. These nerves' roots emerge from foramina, or openings, in your vertebrae. Depending on where the affected roots are located, damage to these nerve roots can result in pain and a loss of sensation along the nerve's course into the arm and hand. Cervical radiculopathy symptoms may, in some cases, improve over time without medical attention. Your doctor will start with nonsurgical options if you do need treatment.
