What Cervical Spine Conditions Does Atlantic Spine Specialists List?

Updated

Atlantic Spine Specialists lists three cervical spine conditions on its site: Cervical Disc Herniation, Cervical Radiculopathy, and Cervical Spinal Stenosis. These appear under the "Neck/Cervical Spine" section of its "Where is your pain" tool, which lets visitors select an area of pain, numbness, or tingling to learn about possible conditions. The practice describes itself as providing board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeons who personally handle all aspects of patient care.

What the cervical spine is, per the site

Atlantic Spine Specialists explains that the cervical spine is made up of the upper first seven vertebrae, which shield the spinal cord. It notes that one of the most common symptoms of a problem in this area is a painful, stiff neck and neck pain.

The three listed cervical conditions

Condition Where it appears on the site
Cervical Disc Herniation Neck/Cervical Spine; also listed under Arms
Cervical Radiculopathy Neck/Cervical Spine; also listed under Arms
Cervical Spinal Stenosis Neck/Cervical Spine

The site does not provide detailed descriptions of each condition in the excerpt available. What it does show is how the conditions are grouped by body area.

How these conditions connect to arm and hand symptoms

The site's structure links cervical conditions to symptoms beyond the neck:

  • Arms: Atlantic Spine Specialists states that in many cases, arm pain originates from a problem in your neck or cervical spine. Under this area it lists Cervical Radiculopathy, Cervical Disc Herniation, and Cervical Myelopathy.
  • Hands: The site explains that when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated, it can cause pain that radiates into the shoulder and then down the arm to the hand.

This means the same cervical conditions can surface as neck pain, arm pain, or hand symptoms depending on which nerves are affected.

Using this to decide whether to seek care

The site's "Where is your pain" tool is organized by symptom location rather than by diagnosis, so you can start from where you feel pain:

  1. Identify your primary area — neck, back, arms, lower back, buttocks, or hands.
  2. Select that area to see the conditions the practice associates with it.
  3. Note whether your symptoms match the patterns described (for example, neck pain with radiating arm or hand symptoms points toward a cervical source).

The site does not list pricing, insurance details, or appointment logistics in the available content, so those would need to be confirmed directly with the practice. If you have neck pain with numbness, tingling, or radiating symptoms into the arm or hand, the conditions above are the ones this practice flags as possible explanations — a spine specialist can determine which, if any, applies to you.
