Pain can travel into the arm when a nerve in the neck is irritated or compressed.
This may be caused by a disc problem, inflammation, or narrowing around the nerve.
- Neck nerve pressure
- Pain down the arm
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the hand or arm
Pain traveling into the arm can be a sign that a nerve in the neck is irritated or compressed.
This type of pain may start in the neck and move into the shoulder, arm, hand or fingers. It can also be linked to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness or a burning sensation.
Common causes may include a disc problem, inflammation, nerve pressure or narrowing around the nerve. When these symptoms continue, a proper spinal assessment is important to identify the cause and guide the right treatment plan.
At Spine Intervention, we help patients understand why pain is traveling and provide specialised care for neck and spine related conditions.
