How to treat and diagnose a Herniated Disc in the NeckA herniated disc can also be referred to as a ruptured disc, and a slipped disc. It occurs when disc which is located between two bones puts pressure on a nerve. This pressure in turn can cause the neck pain, the arm pain and symptoms of numbness and tingling. The two most common levels where a cervical disc can herniated is C5-C6 and C6-C7. So if for example a patient has a C5-C6 disc herniation, the disc is affect the C6 nerve root.Symptoms of a Herniated DiscA herniated disc presents as constant neck pain.

Herniated Disc in the Neck
How to Treat Herniated DiscThere are many treatments available to treat a herniated disc in the neck. Most people think of surgery, but there are many effective non surgical options with little side effects. Try traction for your neck- a gentle stretch in the neck can aid in some neck pain relief. Either you could use a special traction pillow or cervical traction unit (such as the Cervical Traction Posture Pump 1000) to acheive this. Before starting traction, have your neck examined- an x-ray can pinpoint some important diagnosis information as well. A good cervical pillow such as the cervical traction neck pillow will help as well. Sleeping on 2 pillows may be too much and can actually cause you to have a stiff neck with more pain than you started with.
Your Doctor may recommend a few treatment options to you; Perhaps cortisone injections, physical therapy, chiropractic, traction therapy, or maybe (depending on the severity) even surgery. Just know that there are non surgical options out there for you to try. For example, traction for the neck using a home cervical traction unit could really help you out.
