Abstract.
Cervical radiculopathy is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine
that leads to persistent pain, functional limitations, and a decrease in quality of life,
often complicated by vertebral artery involvement. The use of modern
physiotherapeutic technologies, including shock wave therapy (SWT), is considered a
promising direction in rehabilitation programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the effectiveness of shock wave therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with cervical
radiculopathy complicated by vertebral artery syndrome.
