Cervical Disc Herniation: A Leading Cause of Neck, Shoulder & Arm Pain

Cervical Disc Herniation: A Leading Cause of Neck, Shoulder & Arm Pain

If you're experiencing persistent neck, shoulder, or arm pain, you may have an undiagnosed cervical disc herniation. When a disc in the neck bulges or ruptures, it can compress nearby nerves, leading to:

✔ Neck pain that radiates into the shoulder and arm

✔ Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or hands

✔ Muscle spasms and restricted movement

Severe arm weakness requires immediate medical attention to prevent long-term damage.

Surgical Options for Cervical Disc Herniation

Many patients with severe disc herniation are referred for invasive procedures like:

🔹 Cervical Microdiscectomy – A surgeon creates a channel through the neck muscles using tubular dilators. A portion of the lamina and facet joint is removed to access and extract the herniated disc.

🔹 Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) – This procedure is performed through the front of the neck. The surgeon moves the trachea, esophagus, and muscles aside to remove one or more discs. A bone graft and metal plates are inserted to stabilize the spine, permanently fusing the vertebrae over 3 to 6 months. This limits natural neck mobility.
