Understanding Cervical Herniated Discs

Persistent neck, shoulder, or arm pain that doesn't improve may indicate an undiagnosed cervical herniated disc. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill specialize in non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, offering effective treatments for such conditions.

What Is a Cervical Herniated Disc?

For understanding cervical herniated discs, we need to know some anatomy. A cervical herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like core of a disc in the neck protrudes through its outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. This can lead to symptoms such as:

• Arm Pain: Sharp or burning pain radiating from the neck into the shoulder and arm, especially during certain movements.

• Numbness or Tingling: Sensation of pins and needles in areas served by affected nerves.

• Weakness: Muscle weakness, leading to difficulties in lifting or holding items.

  
  

These symptoms often affect one side of the body and can vary based on the disc's location and severity.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

At Triangle Spinal Decompression, we offer non-surgical spinal decompression therapy as a primary treatment for cervical herniated discs. This therapy involves gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on the affected discs and nerves, promoting natural healing and pain relief.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

• Non-Invasive: Avoids the risks associated with surgical procedures.

• Effective Pain Relief: Targets the root cause of pain by addressing disc herniation.

• Improved Mobility: Reduces nerve compression, enhancing range of motion.

• Affordable: A cost-effective alternative to surgery and long-term medication use.
