Neck pain radiating down the arm

Neck pain radiating down the arm occurs when nerves in the neck area are compressed, causing pain that radiates down the arm. Currently, there are younger and younger patients with cervical disc herniation. This is caused by daily behaviors such as using a computer or looking down at a mobile phone in the same position for a long time, sitting in an incorrect position, and injuries from accidents.

Diagnosis of neck pain radiating down the arm

Diagnosis of neck pain radiating down the arm must be made by a medical professional, who will use a physical examination, ask about your medical history, and use imaging technologies such as MRI and X-rays to get an overall picture of your spine and nerves. There are several treatments for this condition, including PSCD, which is an effective and safe way to reduce pain and restore nerve function.

Bone spurs

Bone spurs are conditions in which bone grows beyond the original bone, causing compression of a nerve.

Accident injuries

Neck injuries from accidents or severe impact can cause pinched nerves.

Group 1: Symptoms are not very severe.

First, when pain occurs, adjust your lifestyle. If the symptoms do not improve after adjustment, the doctor will prescribe several painkillers along with appropriate physical therapy. The symptoms will usually gradually improve within a few weeks.

Group 2: Patients with indications for surgical treatment

Group 2: Patients with indications for surgical treatment. This group of patients often has chronic neck, shoulder, or occipital pain for a long time. The pain does not improve after treatment. The pain radiates down the arm, which is caused by compression of nerves or the cervical spinal cord. The doctor will perform surgery on the cervical spine on the back.

Treatment steps using PSCD technique

Specialized cutting-edge technology designed for spinal treatment, such as world-class surgical equipment and a standing MRI only available in Thailand, helps in accurate and rapid diagnosis and treatment. The lack of any one component will affect the efficiency of patient treatment.

Find out the cause of the patient

Doctors search for the cause of the disease by taking an X-ray in the position used to examine the spine and using a standing MRI to look for abnormalities in the discs. The doctor must use the results of both parts to make an accurate diagnosis.

Preoperative preparation

Patients are advised on how to prepare for treatment, such as fasting and not drinking for a period of time before treatment. Patients will undergo a detailed physical examination.

PSCD surgery

The doctor will use a small camera (endoscope) attached to the end of the tube to pass through the skin to help see and use instruments to clamp the compressed cervical disc and expand the narrowed canal that is pressing on the nerve.

Follow-up and recovery

After treatment, the doctor and a team of specialized assistants will continuously monitor the treatment results and evaluate the patient’s symptoms to ensure that the pain is reduced and there are no complications. The patient only needs to stay in the hospital for 1 night and can return to their normal daily life.
