What is Cervical Radiculopathy?

Every part of your body must face the inevitable march of time, including your neck. When most people think of the neck region and the aging processes, droopy skin comes to mind. However, the neck’s internal environment is also vulnerable to aging. Gravity, overuse, genetic degeneration, and overuse of the cervical vertebrae—the seven small, interconnected bones of the cervical spine that support the head while allowing for a range of movements—may all contribute to cervical radiculopathy, a.k.a. “pinched nerves.” 

Cervical radiculopathy is one of the most common conditions caused by deterioration of the cervical spine. The root cause of the condition is damaged or irritated nerve roots—the initial segment of a nerve that leaves your spinal cord.

Causes & Symptoms of Cervical Radiculopathy

The condition is caused due to compression from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease (DDD), bone spurs, and trauma from injuries. The pinched nerves in the neck affect the nerve roots, which extend to different parts of your body. This is why cervical radiculopathy may cause not only neck pain but also distal pain that radiates into the shoulders, chest, and deep into the arm, all the way into the fingertips. 

In addition to physical pain, cervical radiculopathy can cause motor or sensory deficits in areas innervated by the affected nerve root. In other words, muscle weakness and tingling can present as well. 

Interestingly, some people with cervical radiculopathy present without significant neck pain. The nerve roots in the cervical spine are pinched, but pinched nerves don’t always present with pain. 

How Is Cervical Radiculopathy Diagnosed?

Diagnosing it most often requires imaging technology such as magnetic resonance (MRI), X-ray, and computed tomography (CT scan). 

Factors Aggravating Cervical Radiculopathy

• Poor Posture: Incorrect posture can strain the neck and exacerbate symptoms. (If poor posture is your arch enemy, use this back pain and neck pain relief device.)
• Repetitive Movements: Repeated neck movements or strain can aggravate the condition.
• Lifting Heavy Objects: Straining the neck while lifting heavy objects can intensify symptoms.

Treatment Approaches for Cervical Radiculopathy

The conventional approach involves various treatments:

• Conservative Measures
• Physical therapy, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to alleviate symptoms.
• Medications
• Prescribed pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, or muscle relaxants for symptom relief.
• Cervical Traction
• Gentle stretching to reduce pressure on nerves.
• Steroid Injections
• Injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
• Surgery
• If conservative methods do not provide relief.
• Indicated for patients with clinically significant motor deficits, and debilitating pain. 
• Options include anterior cervical decompression with fusion and posterior cervical laminoforaminotomy, write researchers from the Hospital for Special Surgery.
  

The good news is that most patients will significantly improve from non-surgical interventions. Moreover, within the last three decades, new patented technology has helped thousands of people relieve discomfort emanating from the cervical spine from the comfort of their home in minutes flat.

Posture Pump® Spinal Decompression for Cervical Radiculopathy

Posture Pump® Disc Hydrators® may alleviate discomfort associated with cervical radiculopathy by lifting, hydrating, stretching & separating the vertebral discs. To use the Posture Pump®, simply lie on your back, pump the disc hydrator with your hand, and feel the patented Expanding Ellipsoidal Decompression (EED®) technology expand your neck and lower back vertebrae. The return on investment is incalculable. Pain relief. Potentially thousands of dollars saved. Time saved (no having to drive to PT or medical appointments). In some cases, Posture Pump® may significantly help restore the natural lordotic curve to the cervical and lumbar spines with only one session. 

Posture Pump®: Research-Backed, Neurosurgeon -Endorsed

Research by the world-renowned neurosurgeon , C. Normal Shealy (inventor of the modern Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation [TENS] unit) supports the efficacy of Posture Pump® devices in improving spinal health and reducing pain. Using MRI technology, Posture Pump® has been shown to completely eliminate bulging/protrusion of cervical vertebrae after just one 20-minute session. In addition. Shealy’s data also demonstrates Posture Pump®’s ability to increase disc height, improve hydration, and enhance nutrient exchange in the intervertebral discs.

Over 3 Million Units Sold

Over 3 million Posture Pump® units have been sold. Customer reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Chiropractors, physical therapists, medical doctors, and other health professionals use Posture Pump® in their practices or recommend it to their patients. 

Here is just one review submitted by a medical doctor:

“I treated a 42 year old woman for cervical radiculopathy... MRI showed nerve impingement of left C6 nerve root and a significant disc protrusion. She received meds, P.T. and epidural steroids without relief. Surgery was suggested as an option. The patient was treated with 20 minute sessions of the cervical Posture Pump®. She received dramatic relief of pain and a decrease in the paresthesia (tingling) for 24 hours. She continued to treat herself daily and as needed for a few months. She experienced complete relief of pain and paresthesia and was released from treatment…she has not seen me for any recurrent symptoms in the last 3 years. Thanks for your great product! My patients love it.”
