Neck Pain Radiating Into Arms or Hands | Drexel Hill Chiropractor

Neck Pain Radiating Into Your Arms or Hands?

Are you experiencing neck pain that travels down into your shoulders, arms, or even your hands? Maybe you’ve noticed tingling, numbness, or weakness that comes and goes — or stays constant. This kind of radiating pain isn’t just a sore neck — it’s a sign that there may be pressure on a nerve in your cervical spine.

At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Drexel Hill, PA, we specialize in treating the underlying causes of neck-related nerve pain and helping patients find long-term relief without drugs or surgery.

Why Is Neck Pain Traveling Down My Arm?

When pain, tingling, or numbness starts in the neck and spreads to the arm or hand, it usually means a nerve is being compressed or irritated. This is known as cervical radiculopathy, and it often results from:

  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Degenerative disc disease (arthritis)
  • Spinal misalignment or poor posture
  • Muscle imbalances or tightness
  • Old injuries or whiplash

When a nerve root in your neck gets compressed, it can create a “radiating” effect down the nerve pathway — into the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.

Symptoms to Watch For

You may be dealing with nerve compression if you experience any of the following:

  • Sharp, shooting pain from neck to fingers
  • Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
  • Numbness in the arms or hands
  • Muscle weakness or grip strength loss
  • Symptoms that worsen with certain neck positions

These symptoms often start gradually and worsen over time if not properly addressed.

How Chiropractic Can Help

At our Drexel Hill chiropractic clinic, we use a combination of techniques to reduce pressure on spinal nerves, improve alignment, and restore normal movement. Our approach is safe, gentle, and personalized to your specific condition.

We may recommend:

  • Chiropractic adjustments to realign the cervical spine
  • Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension
  • Spinal decompression or traction to take pressure off discs
  • Postural correction and ergonomic coaching
  • Stretching and rehab exercises to support healing

Our goal is to address the root cause — not just the symptoms — so you can get lasting relief and avoid invasive treatments like surgery or injections.

What About SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment we offer that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. It can be especially helpful if your nerve pain is caused by muscle tension, inflammation, or disc issues.

SoftWave may help by:

  • Reducing inflammation around nerve roots
  • Increasing blood flow to damaged tissue
  • Promoting natural tissue repair

What Our Patients Say

“I have been getting treatment with Dr. Klein for about a month. When I started I could not walk. I was in a lot of pain. My pain level was a 20. Today I’m able to walk up the steps, prepare dinner standing up and I can even dance. I am so thankful and grateful for Dr. Klein and his wonderful staff. They are caring, concern, patient, loving and I love them all. I feel like a brand new person.” — Patient Review, Chamber of Commerce
