What is Non-Surgical Neck Hernia Treatment?
A cervical herniated disc is a condition in which the spinal discs deteriorate, compressing the nerve roots and causing pain, numbness and restricted movement. Non-surgical cervical herniated disc treatment allows this condition to be managed, often without the need for surgery. Treatment consists of physical therapy, medication and some minimally invasive methods. These methods can be effective in providing patients with pain relief and functional improvement.
How Is Neck Hernia Treatment Performed Without Surgery?
In the first stage, non-surgical methods are preferred in the treatment of cervical disc herniation. This treatment process usually includes the following steps:
- Physical Therapy:
In the treatment of a herniated disc in the neck, special exercises are used to strengthen the muscles and reduce pressure on the nerve. Physical therapy increases mobility and relieves pain. - Medication:
Painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants are commonly used to treat a herniated disc in the neck. These medications help to control pain by reducing inflammation. - Physical Modalities and Injections:
Methods such as epidural steroid injections or nerve root blocks can help relieve severe pain. These injections manage pain by being administered directly into the inflamed areas. - Lifestyle Changes:
Cervical hernia patients should pay attention to lifestyle changes such as ergonomic working conditions, correct posture and regular exercise. These measures accelerate the treatment process and prevent hernia recurrence.
Conditions and Symptoms Requiring Non-Surgical Cervical Herniated Disc Treatment

- Pain and tension in the neck area
- Pain in the arms and shoulders
- Numbness and tingling sensation
