Neck Operation

Neck operations are procedures aimed at reducing the painful symptoms of spinal nerve pressure in the cervical region of the spine, which includes the seven vertebrae at the top of the spinal column. These vertebrae are involved in all the movements of the head which can result in wear and tear on spine and pressure on the cervical spinal nerves. As painful as this can be, neck operations are very serious procedures and you should be well-informed before you decide to undergo one.

Although neck pain can arise from trauma, such as whiplash or ligament strain, many patients seeking relief from cervical spine pain resulting from degenerative disc disease. As the discs between vertebrae wear down after years of use, conditions such as herniated disc or bulging disc can occur, which in turn cause symptoms like numbness, weakness, or tingling. If these symptoms become acute enough that they threaten to decrease your quality of life, many physicians may suggest neck operations as treatment. But before prescribing surgery, a physician will recommend that you try conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, exercises, traction, stretching, and anti-inflammatory or pain relief medications.

If these conservative treatments don’t bring relief, one of several neck operations may be suggested. Laser Spine Institute (LSI) offers minimally invasive, outpatient endoscopic procedures that have proven to be significantly more successful than traditional operations. For a free MRI or CT scan review, contact LSI today.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
