Cervical radiculopathy is the clinical description of when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes inflamed or damaged, resulting in a change in neurological function. Neurological deficits, such as numbness, altered reflexes, or weakness, may radiate anywhere from the neck into the shoulder, arm, hand, or fingers.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M54. 12: Radiculopathy, cervical region.
Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
Cervical radiculopathy is often caused by "wear and tear" changes that occur in the spine as we age, such as arthritis. In younger people, it is most often caused by a sudden injury that results in a herniated disk. In some cases, however, there is no traumatic episode associated with the onset of symptoms.
Radiculopathy describes a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column. The pinched nerve can occur at different areas along the spine (cervical, thoracic or lumbar). Symptoms of radiculopathy vary by location but frequently include pain, weakness, numbness and tingling.

ICD-10 code M54. 5, low back pain, effective October 1, 2021. That means providers cannot use M54. 5 to specify a diagnosis on or after October 1—and existing patients with the M54.
Radiculopathy Treatment Options Medication, such as pain relievers, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory drugs, to reduce pain and inflammation. Steroid injections or oral steroids to relieve swelling and inflammation around the nerve root. Activity modification to prevent worsening of the pain.
Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion (ACDF) ACDF is the most commonly performed procedure to treat cervical radiculopathy. The procedure involves removing the problematic disk or bone spurs and then stabilizing the spine through spinal fusion.
Over 85% of acute cervical radiculopathy resolves without any specific treatments within 8-12 weeks. Over 85% of acute cervical radiculopathy resolves without any specific treatments within 8-12 weeks.
Is cervical radiculopathy curable? While nonsurgical treatment options usually successfully treat the symptoms of cervical radiculopathy, there isn't a cure for the degenerative changes (age-related wear and tear) in your cervical spine that can cause cervical radiculopathy.
