Cervicobrachial syndrome - what does this mean
Cervicobrachial syndrome is a condition characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand. it is caused by compression of the nerves in the neck, which can occur due to a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, or a narrowing of the spinal canal.
What happens during the disease - cervicobrachial syndrome
Cervicobrachial syndrome is an umbrella term used to describe a range of symptoms caused by an irritation or compression of the nerves in the neck and shoulder region. it is believed to be caused by a combination of physical and emotional stress, as well as poor posture, which can lead to a misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and shoulder area. this misalignment can then cause inflammation, which can lead to a compression of the nerves in the area, resulting in pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the arms and hands.
