Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
Radiating pain to distinguish from local pain.
Cervicobrachial neuralgia describes pain starting in the neck and radiating into the shoulder or arm, often related to irritation of a cervical root. The word brachialgia describes arm pain more broadly.
Sensations in the hand
Indicate the fingers affected and periods of tingling or numbness.
Strength and precision
Fine movements and grasping objects provide useful measures for the assessment.
Useful distinctions
Arm pain is not enough to confirm a cervical source. The shoulder, elbow, wrist and peripheral nerves may require a separate assessment.
YOUR CONSULTATION IN MONTREAL
A useful resource for Montreal / Mont-Royal.

02 / EXPLORE THE OPTIONS
Spinal decompression: a discussion based on your clinical profile.
The choice of care begins with your history, current signs and symptoms, and goals. A condition mentioned in a report does not dictate a treatment method.
- 1
Clarify your situation
From the neck toward the arm, or first in the shoulder? Describe the order in which symptoms appeared. Existing examination results and previous care add to the discussion.
- 2
Discuss options and precautions
Non-surgical spinal decompression, adapted exercise, targeted osteopathic care or medical referral: relevant options are explained according to your situation and the limitations of each.
- 3
Track specific changes
Monitor the path of radiating pain and ease of a concrete movement, then reassess any neurological changes.
Suitability, limitations and other options
Cervical traction is not chosen on the basis of the pain distribution alone. An examination, a review of precautions and a discussion of other options must precede any decision. Spinal decompression uses motorized traction; results vary and no individual benefit can be guaranteed. Options include information, adapted exercise and, depending on the situation, medical care. Read the AAOS resource on cervical radiculopathy.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Cervicobrachial Neuralgia: before your visit.
Guidance to help you understand the condition and prepare your questions.
Read the TAGMED guideWhere can I seek care for this condition in Montreal?
TAGMED Clinic welcomes you at 1140 avenue Beaumont, Mont-Royal (Québec) H3P 3E5, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., by appointment. Availability and confirmation are provided through Medexa.
Do brachialgia and cervicobrachial neuralgia mean the same thing?
Brachialgia means arm pain. Cervicobrachial neuralgia specifies a path from the neck, possibly related to a nerve root. These words do not replace an assessment.
Does a numb hand necessarily come from a cervical herniation?
No. Compression of a peripheral nerve or other disorders can also cause numbness. The location and examination guide the next steps.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
Cervical traction is not chosen based on the path of pain alone. The examination, checking precautions and discussion of other options must precede any decision.
How many sessions should I plan for?
The name of a condition cannot determine the number of sessions. Goals, tolerance and progress should guide the development and reassessment of the plan. Also ask when a change in approach would be needed.
Are consultations reimbursed?
Osteopathy receipts may be issued. Check your policy conditions and whether your insurer recognizes the practitioner. Services are not covered by RAMQ.
