Cervicobrachial neuralgia: what to do when neck pain travels down the arm

Névralgie cervico-brachiale : que faire lorsqu’une douleur cervicale descend dans le bras ?

Pain that starts in the neck and travels through the shoulder into the arm or hand may involve an irritated nerve. Assessment helps identify the safest next step.

Understanding your symptoms

A useful assessment looks beyond pain alone. It considers neck movement, nerve sensitivity, arm symptoms and any loss of strength or sensation. This helps identify what can be managed through rehabilitation and whether further medical assessment is advisable.

How rehabilitation can help

Care may combine education, progressive exercise, mobility or strength work and hands-on techniques when appropriate. The plan is adjusted to your response, your comfort and the activities you want to return to.

When should you seek medical advice?

Seek prompt medical advice for sudden or severe symptoms, major weakness, loss of sensation, unexplained fever, recent significant trauma, or any symptom that feels unusual or is rapidly worsening.
