What are the best treatments for cervical disc herniation

There is no such thing as the best treatment for cervical disc herniation. Common treatments include physical therapy, medication, and surgery. 1. Physical therapy: If the patient’s symptoms are mild, he can wear a neck brace when standing. When resting in the prone position, sleep on a hard board bed and use a low hard pillow. At the same time, minimize neck movement, avoid prolonged sitting and standing and head down. Physical therapy such as infrared spectrum irradiation and traction can also be taken to improve the symptoms. 2. Medication: Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, meloxicam, celecoxib, etc., can be taken to relieve symptoms. Dehydrating agents, such as mannitol, can be used if neuroedema exists. Neurologic symptoms are obvious can be oral methylcobalamin and other nutritive nerve drugs. 3. Surgery: If the patient is determined to have symptoms of spinal cord or spinal nerve root compression, and if it is difficult to relieve with conservative treatment, surgery is recommended. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time and use medication under the doctor’s guidance, not blindly self-medication to avoid adverse effects.
