Experiencing a herniated disc in the neck, or cervical region, can lead to a range of symptoms that may significantly impact daily life. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment.
Recognizing the Symptoms of a Cervical Herniated Disc
A herniated disc in the cervical spine often begins with neck discomfort, which can escalate to more pronounced issues, including:
Radiating Arm Pain: Sharp or burning pain extending from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand. This discomfort is typically intensified by certain neck movements.
Numbness and Tingling: A sensation of pins and needles or loss of feeling in the arm, hand, or fingers, corresponding to the affected nerve.
Muscle Weakness: Diminished strength in the arm or hand, potentially leading to challenges in lifting objects or performing fine motor tasks.
Coordination Difficulties: In severe cases, pressure on the spinal cord may result in issues with balance, walking, or coordination.
Bowel or Bladder Changes: Significant compression of the spinal cord can lead to alterations in bowel or bladder function, necessitating immediate medical attention.
Advanced Non-Surgical Treatment Options
At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill offer state-of-the-art non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This innovative approach aims to alleviate pressure on affected nerves, promoting natural healing without the need for surgery or prescription medications.
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc. This process encourages retraction of the herniated material and facilitates the influx of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids, fostering an optimal healing environment.
