A Pinched Nerve in the Neck Demands Treatment Options You Can Trust

If you are suffering from a pinched nerve in your neck, you’ll find that treatment can take some dedication. The good news is that, if you stick with your conservative treatment plan, you are very likely to see improvement, as pinched nerves – or rather, the underlying causes – often become less inflamed over time, given the right treatment.

Herniated Disc Treatment

So, you’ve got a herniated disc in your cervical spine, and it’s putting pressure on one of the spinal nerve roots. This causes pain to shoot down your arm and, maybe, reduces your neck’s flexibility. You visit your doctor, but you’re surprised when he recommends exercising your neck, of all things. The fact is that, once you are past the acute phase, in which the pain usually is most severe, your body wants to heal. Mild stretching and bending exercises prevent muscle atrophy, strengthen the muscles, work out the ligaments, and flex the joints in your neck and back, all of which promotes healing. Proper nutrition, quitting smoking, and exercise are the best things for a herniated disc.

Surgery Sometimes an Option

Given time, such a non-invasive treatment program is likely to show results, giving credence to the common understanding that back surgery is a last resort. However, not everyone responds well to conservative treatment; their pain may continue or even get worse. It is for these people that Laser Spine Institute (LSI) exists. At LSI, we have perfected the art of minimally invasive endoscopic spine procedures that allow our talented surgeons to correct the spinal issue that is the root of your pain. Additionally, these procedures are so gentle that most of our patients are able to leave under their own power within a few hours of the procedure, and return to a full and active life within a few days thereafter.

If you have diligently adhered to your doctor’s conservative treatment plan but have not experienced an appreciable decrease in your pain, and your doctor believes it’s time for you to consider back surgery, then contact Laser Spine Institute today. We are happy to review your MRI or CT scan at no cost to you.

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