Treatment of Disc Surgery

Non Surgical Procedure

Physical Therapy & Exercise

This can be used to decrease pain and increase flexibility. Therapy includes ice and heat therapy, gentle massage, stretching, and neck traction.

Cervical Traction

Traction on the head can help reduce pressure over the nerve root.

Bracing

In some instances, a cervical collar or brace may be recommended to help provide some rest for the cervical spine.

Surgical Procedure

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Spine Fusion

A small one-inch incision is made in the front of the neck. The removal of the disc results in space that is fused. To aid fusion and add stability, a plate can be inserted in front of the graft.

Laminectomy

It is performed on the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar portion of the spine. An incision is made in the back over the spinal column in the affected area. The broken pieces or the entire disc are removed and replaced with prosthetic components.
