Personal Injury Attorney News

I have created a consumer resource on the subject of Florida auto insurance and personal injury news

Cervical Radiculopathy refers to the disturbance or damage of nerves in the neck, resulting from compression of the cervical vertebrae. Damage to the nerve roots in this region can cause pain, weakness and loss of sensation in the neck shoulders or limbs. The most common symptom of cervical radiculopathy is pain that spreads into the arm, neck, chest and shoulders. Persons with radiculopathy may also experience tingling in the limbs. The location of this weakness and loss of sensation depends heavily on which nerves are damages. 

As a neck injury lawyer in Clearwater, I can state that complaints and presentation of upper extremity radiculopathy is very common in auto accident cases.

Cervical radiculopathy damage can result from pressure due to a ruptured disc, degenerative conditions in the bones, arthritis (an inflammation of the joints), or other injuries that cause swelling that places pressure on the nerve. Cervical radiculopathy in younger people most commonly results of a ruptured disc, since degenerative and arthritic conditions, generally tied to older age, can typically be ruled out.
