Cervical region being the most mobile part of our spine, as our age increases, there are degenerative changes happening in the discs and small joints, as a result of microtrauma resulting in neck stiffness and muscles ache. In addition, if these changes continue to happen and are not treated properly it may result in severe neck pain.

Dr. Vishal Bhasme discusses how conditions such as arthritis could be the source of your neck pain.

A cervical disc herniation is a common problem that can lead to neck pain and symptoms that radiate down the arms to the fingers. These discs exist between the bones of the vertebral column, acting as a shock absorber between two bones, decreasing stress on those bones. When these discs become weak, they may tear or rupture, causing disc material to bulge outward. If a bulge pushes on nerves in an area, it can lead to nerve problems.

Is surgery always required for cervical disc herniation?

Most patients won’t need surgery and can try non-operative treatments to reduce their pain along with some lifestyle modification. These treatments include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, a cervical collar, pain medications, muscle relaxants, and physiotherapy.

In a few cases, an urgent surgery might be required to fix any nerve damage. The surgeon will examine your neurological system thoroughly for signs of any problems.

For patients with lost mobility or development of weakness, urgent surgery will be suggested as conservative treatment won’t be of any use to them and will further reduce their chances to recover.
