Today’s post includes exercises for cervical stenosis, which typically causes radiating nerve pain down one arm. The neck or cervical spine includes seven vertebrae that are separated by six fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs.

Cervical stenosis often causes radiculopathy, which describes situations where one or more of the nerves that exit the neck become irritated leading to pain that radiates into the arm and shoulder blade region as well as sensory changes (numbness, tingling, etc) and muscle weakness.

Issues that cause stenosis include disc herniations, and facet joint arthritis. In most cases, stenosis related pain improves with physical therapy and the temporary use of anti-inflammatory medication.
