A herniated disc in the cervical spine at 3-4-5-6 can usually control or relieve symptoms, and it is more difficult to return to an unherniated state. Treatment includes general treatment, Chinese medicine, physical therapy, medication and surgery. 1. General treatment: pay attention to rest, avoid prolonged head down; wear a neck brace to reduce the pressure and irritation on the nerve root. 2. Chinese medicine treatment: physiotherapy, massage, tuina, etc. can accelerate the subsidence of inflammatory edema and improve local blood circulation. 3. Physical therapy: cervical traction can reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc. 4. Medication: Oral non-steroidal drugs such as ibuprofen can relieve cervical discomfort. 5. Surgery: If the above treatment fails to relieve the discomfort, or if there are neurological symptoms, such as numbness and lack of strength in the hands, surgery is recommended. If the cervical vertebrae have herniated discs in the 3-4-5-6 vertebrae, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
