Özet

BACKGROUND: Cervical radiculopathy is characterized by pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, mostly in an affected extremity, reflecting compression of a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it emerges from the spinal cord. Diagnosis requires a detailed anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging. Physical therapy, exercise, medical therapy, and injections are the preferred treatments, but injections into the cervical region are only indicated if conservative treatment is ineffective.
