In episode #5 of the Princeton Spine & Joint Center Podcast, Dr. Grant Cooper spoke with his colleague Dr. Zinovy Meyler about cervical radiculopathy or a pinched nerve in the neck. They discussed how to think about it in terms of the different types of radiculopathies and radiculitis. What causes it and how it is diagnosed. How to treat it and how to prevent it. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Meyler discussed the biomechanics of why therapy is important and how they utilize it, the ergonomics of daily life and computer use, and some of the interventional aspects of getting better with injections and potentially surgery.
