Neck pain is a prevalent issue that can cause significant pain and disability. Up to 40% of work absenteeism is due to individuals with a history of neck pain. Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the spine is compressed or impeded, leading to pain that can spread beyond the neck and into the arm, chest, shoulders, and upper back. Common signs of impingement include muscle weakness and impaired deep tendon reflexes. These deficits may worsen over time, leading to a decrease in quality of life and daily function. While most symptoms can be treated with supportive care, more severe signs of functional loss may require rehabilitation or surgery. This activity covers the causes, symptoms, evaluation, and management of cervical spine radiculopathy, emphasizing the importance of the interprofessional team in assessing, diagnosing, and treating the condition.
