The painful condition resulting from soft tissue damage and degenerative
disc changes causing pressure on a cervical nerve root is called cervical radiculopathy.
It often produces agonizing neck pain, a burning sensation, along with numbness
radiating down the arms, shoulder blades, and back, or up into the head. Authors
discuss cervical radiculopathy from the position of a Physiatrist (R.H.), chiropractor
(G.B.), and physical therapist (C.F.). Each author reviews case studies and techniques
utilized in order to successfully treat patients presenting with cervical radiculopathy.
