Common questions
Why does my neck pain go down my arm?
A nerve in the neck can get irritated and send pain, tingling or numbness into the arm. We assess where it's coming from.
Do I need an MRI first?
Bring any X-ray, MRI or scan reports you have. No scans? That's fine. We'll assess you and tell you if you need one.
When is it urgent?
If your arm becomes weak, or you lose grip or feeling, contact us or a doctor straight away.
See a doctor urgently if you have weakness in both arms or hands, trouble walking or keeping your balance, or problems controlling your bladder.
