Cervical Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is advisable to address cervical syndrome in a timely manner, a set of complaints originating in the neck area that can radiate toward the head, shoulders, or arms.
What is it? It groups together symptoms associated with disorders of the cervical structures, such as the muscles, joints, and nerves of this region of the spine.
Common manifestations: pain and stiffness in the neck, limited movement, headache and, at times, tingling or heaviness in the arms.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, the rheumatologist, and the neurosurgeon can assess it depending on the case, with support from the physical therapist in rehabilitation; a general practitioner guides the first consultation. If the neck complaints recur or extend toward the arms, the prudent course is to have a professional study their origin.

Which specialist treats cervical syndrome?
Cervical syndrome can be evaluated by a neurosurgeon if there's nerve involvement, or by a physical therapist and a chiropractor for pain and mobility management. A rheumatologist or an internal medicine physician may get involved if there's an inflammatory cause, and a sports medicine physician can help if the origin is a physical injury. See a doctor if you have neck pain radiating to the arm or persistent stiffness.
