Who does cervical radiculopathy affect?

Anyone can get cervical radiculopathy, but it’s more common in adults.

Cervical radiculopathy caused by a herniated disk is more common in people up to 50 years old. And cervical radiculopathy caused by disk degeneration is more common in people in their 50s and 60s.

People in their 70s or older tend to get cervical radiculopathy from foraminal narrowing as a result of arthritis. The foramen is the bony hollow opening between vertebrae through which spinal nerve roots travel.
