When should I see my healthcare provider about cervical radiculopathy?

If you have symptoms of cervical radiculopathy, such as pain that radiates down your neck, that don’t go away after a week or more of rest, contact your healthcare provider. If you have more serious symptoms, such as muscle weakness or weakened reflexes in your arm, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

If you’re experiencing neck pain after an accident, such as a fall, contact your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital.
