Neck and arm pain (cervicobrachialgia)

When neck pain radiates into the shoulder and arm, a nerve root is often irritated—when treated in a targeted way, this usually improves significantly.

In cervicobrachialgia, pain radiates from the cervical spine via the shoulder into the arm. The cause is usually irritation of a nerve root in the cervical spine region. The pain is unpleasant, but in most cases it can be treated well without surgery.

Pain pulling from the neck into the shoulder and arm, sometimes down into the hand. This may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or a feeling of weakness. Certain head positions make the symptoms worse.

A disc change or narrowing at the nerve exit point often irritates the nerve root. Tight muscles and reduced nerve gliding can also play a role.

With manual therapy, including neurodynamics, we improve the nerve’s ability to glide and relieve the irritated structure. Targeted evidence-based training stabilises the cervical spine, and with neuro-based pain therapy we help you understand and put the frightening radiating pain into context.
