When nerve roots in the cervical spine are compressed or âpinched,â the result can be pain and stiffness in the neck radiating pain to the upper back, shoulder, and arms. Numbness and, if the pressure is severe enough, weakness may occur. This is called cervical radiculopathy. If the sensory nerves between the first and second or second and third cervical levels are pinched, headaches (cephalgia) can also result. Headaches caused from a pinched nerve in the neck may be called cervicogenic headaches and greater occipital neuralgia.
