We host Dr. Matteini on this episode, as we examine the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for cervical radiculopathy. Learn about the anatomy of the spine, the latest diagnostic techniques, and the best non-surgical and surgical approaches to managing this condition. Listen for expert insights on how to relieve that radiating neck pain!

A board-certified and fellowship-trained spine surgeon and partner at Fox Valley Orthopedics in Geneva, IL a suburb of Chicago, Dr. Lauren Matteini specializes in the care and treatment of the whole spine – cervical, thoracic, and lumbar areas. Dr. Matteini treats conditions such as nerve impingement, disc herniation, and stenosis alongside more complex procedures to treat deformity, scoliosis, or spine issues requiring revision. Degenerative disc conditions are common in her practice, stemming from both injuries and age-related deterioration.

Dr. Matteini graduated from Georgetown University, Washington, DC, and proceeded to Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC, for her M.D. After medical school, Dr. Matteini completed her residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at George Washington University Medical Center, Washington, DC, followed by a Spine fellowship at University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.

  • Some causes of cervical radiculopathy.
  • The anatomy of the spinal cord/nerve roots and their corresponding vertebrae.
