Uncovertebral spurring at the C3-4 level refers to the formation of bony growths or spurs at the uncovertebral joints, which are located on the sides of the cervical vertebrae. This condition can lead to chronic impingement of the left C4 nerve root, causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness radiating down the arm. The spurring typically results from degenerative changes in the spine, often related to aging or wear and tear. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve nerve compression.
