Neck pain has many causes. Mechanical neck pain comes from injury or inflammation in the soft tissues of the neck. This is much different and less concerning than symptoms that come from pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column and can cause pain and/or tingling/numbness in the arms and hands. People sometimes refer to this problem as a pinched nerve.
Health care providers call it cervical radiculopathy. Being able to differentiate the origin of this arm pain is the key. That is why EVERY patient at Sampsell PT gets a screen of their spine. Treating the right thing is the key to a quick and successful outcome to get you back to gardening, running or CrossFit! call today for your free Discovery Session and avoid pain meds, injections and surgery!
