Physiotherapy for Cervical Radiculopathy
Do you have neck pain radiating down your arm? Do your fingers feel numb or weak while working, driving, or sleeping? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for nerve-related neck and arm pain? These may be signs of cervical radiculopathy.
What Is Cervical Radiculopathy?
It occurs when a neck nerve gets compressed due to a disc bulge, arthritis, poor posture, or muscle tightness. Symptoms include shooting pain, tingling, reduced grip, or difficulty turning the neck.
How Physiotherapy Helps
A physiotherapist focuses on:
β’ Nerve gliding exercises
β’ Cervical traction (manual or device-based)
β’ Deep neck flexor strengthening
β’ Postural correction and ergonomic training
β’ Manual therapy to relieve muscle tightness
β’ Scapular stabilisation to reduce nerve load
What You Can Try at Home
Maintain neutral neck posture, avoid high pillows, take frequent breaks from screens, apply warm compress, and do gentle chin tucks if pain allows.
For expert care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised rehabilitation to reduce nerve compression, restore strength, and improve daily comfort.
