Problems affecting the cervical spine can have a significant impact on daily life. The neck’s intricate structure supports head movement, protects the spinal cord, and enables sensation and control in the upper body. When this area is injured or impaired, even routine activities like driving, lifting, or turning the head can become difficult and uncomfortable. 

Among the many conditions that can affect the neck, cervical radiculopathy is one of the most common. While exact prevalence figures vary, a large-scale retrospective study found an incidence of 83.2 per 100,000 people.^[1] This makes cervical radiculopathy one of the more commonly diagnosed causes of neck and arm symptoms in orthopedic and spine care.
