Neck & Back Pain with Neurological Causes

Neurological assessment of spinal issues such as cervical or lumbar radiculopathy, sciatica, nerve root compression, and slipped disc with nerve involvement. Focus on pain relief, nerve decompression, and rehabilitation.

When Neck and Back Pain Is More Than Just Muscle Strain

Neck and back pain are common complaints, but when they are caused by nerve compression or spinal disorders, they require expert neurological evaluation. Conditions such as cervical or lumbar radiculopathy, sciatica, slipped discs, and nerve root compression can lead to pain that radiates, causes numbness, or even affects movement.

Dr. Sushma Sharma, a senior neurologist and Director of Neurology at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, specializes in diagnosing and managing neurological causes of spinal pain with a focus on relieving nerve pressure, controlling symptoms, and preventing long-term damage.

Common Neurological Causes of Neck & Back Pain:

🔹 Cervical Radiculopathy
Nerve compression in the neck causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the shoulders, arms, and hands.

🔹 Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica)
Nerve irritation in the lower back that leads to pain radiating down the legs—commonly known as sciatica.

🔹 Slipped or Herniated Disc
When the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves.

🔹 Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord or nerves—can occur in the neck or lower back.

🔹 Nerve Root Compression
Results from degenerative disc disease, trauma, or spinal arthritis, leading to sharp or burning pain and muscle weakness.

Symptoms That May Indicate a Neurological Cause:

  • Radiating pain from the neck to the arms or from the back to the legs
  • Tingling, numbness, or pins-and-needles sensation
  • Muscle weakness in arms or legs
  • Difficulty walking, standing, or gripping objects
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (in severe cases)

Diagnostic Evaluation by Dr. Sushma Sharma:

Dr. Sharma conducts a comprehensive neurological assessment to determine the exact cause and severity of your spinal issue. Diagnostic tools include:

  • Detailed neurological and musculoskeletal examination
  • MRI or CT scan of spine
  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG)
  • Blood tests to rule out inflammatory or autoimmune causes
  • Posture and gait evaluation

Treatment Approach:

Dr. Sharma adopts a multidisciplinary, non-surgical-first approach wherever possible:

💊 Medication:

  • Anti-inflammatory drugs, neuropathic pain relievers, and muscle relaxants

🧠 Nerve Decompression Strategies:

  • Positioning, bracing, and traction (if needed)

🏃‍♀️ Physical Therapy:

  • Stretching, strengthening, posture correction, and core stability exercises

🔁 Epidural Injections/Referral for Interventional Pain Management:

  • For patients with persistent or severe pain

🛌 Lifestyle Guidance:

  • Ergonomic corrections, weight management, and movement training to avoid flare-ups

🧘 Rehabilitation & Follow-up:

  • Long-term care plans for chronic pain and spine health

Why Consult Dr. Sushma Sharma for Spinal Pain with Nerve Involvement?

✅ Precise diagnosis of neurological vs orthopedic causes
✅ Advanced imaging & electrodiagnostics
✅ Focus on conservative, non-surgical treatment first
✅ Coordination with physiotherapists & pain specialists
✅ Long-term care for chronic nerve compression disorders
