How to effectively address this cervical pathology and prevent its chronification
In the last decade, there has been an increase in the number of young people diagnosed with cervical hernia, which manifests with pain in the cervical spine or radiating pain in one of the arms, reaching the elbow or even the fingers.
Cervical Hernia: Causes, Treatments and Prevention of Pain
This increase in cervical pathology occurs at the expense of the increase in computer use, as well as the emergence of multiple office jobs that require a sitting position for hours, thus neglecting the ergonomics of our cervical spine.
However, once a cervical hernia has become established, there are several effective treatments that, fortunately, do not necessarily involve surgery. In most cases, these secondary treatments are successful in improving symptoms. On the other hand, if the study of the cervical spine using an MRI reveals a larger hernia that is also compressing a neurological structure, surgery may be a more definitive solution. This is especially true when the pain radiates to one of the arms.
To avoid chronification of pain, the hernia situation must be assessed by an expert specialist and should not be delayed because of the risk of the pain becoming chronic. Therefore, it is better to treat it quickly!
Discover how to effectively address cervical hernia and prevent its chronification through appropriate treatments. Learn about the causes and treatment options that will allow you to improve your quality of life and well-being. Don't wait any longer and take care of your cervical spine for a healthier and more active life!
