Dr. Zeshan Hyder treats patients for several low back and neck injuries, including pinched nerves in the neck.

Also known as cervical radiculopathy, a pinched nerve in the neck can occur gradually or suddenly and cause debilitating pain or immobility. The neck is the point of origin for many vital nerves that branch out from the spine into the shoulders, arms, and hands, and when these nerves are either inflamed or compressed, the limbs can experience pain, tingling, or weakness.

Treatment for cervical radiculopathy ranges from physical therapy to surgery, often using the minimally invasive Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) procedure. In this surgery, the disc (the spongy part between vertebrae) is removed and replaced with a spacer to relieve compression. Then, the vertebra is reconnected with a plate and screws. Because the surgery is performed through a cosmetic incision and the muscles are separated rather than cut, recovery times are often shorter than with traditional surgery.

Since its founding in 1941, the AOAO has represented the interests of osteopathic orthopedic surgeons across the United States. The organization, which also advocates for orthopedic patients and their communities, currently represents over 1,900 active members who benefit from professional events, networking, and educational opportunities like a virtual library.

The AOAO's Dr. John H. Drabing Virtual Library brings together all the most relevant professional journals for member subscribers. Members receive discounts valued at over $1,000, compared to purchasing access to each journal separately. Currently, the library houses the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the Spine Journal, and the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery Portfolio, among others. For further information on the virtual library and for a full list of journals, visit www.aoao.org.
