Mechanism of Injury
Most often the radiculopathy found in the patients are located in the cervical spine, more along C6-C8. This is the reason why neck pain is a common symptom, which can cause hand tingling. C8 radiculopathy was found to cause tingling, pricking, or a tickling sensation in the hand.



Certain injuries can also lead to radiculopathy. These injuries include lifting heavy objects improperly or suffering from a minor trauma such as a car accident. Less common causes of radiculopathy include swelling in the spine caused by a tumor ,which can compress the nerve located in that spinal column and Diabetes, which can limit normal blood flow.
