How to treat herniated disc spinal stenosis in the neck

For cervical disc herniation as well as spinal stenosis, patients often experience corresponding neurogenic symptoms. For example, numbness, pain, and even weakness of the upper extremities may occur. For cervical disc herniation spinal stenosis, it may also cause impaired blood supply to the vertebral artery, causing some clinical symptoms of inadequate blood supply to the posterior circulation, such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. For the treatment of cervical disc herniation spinal stenosis, the first treatment can be conservative, applying some mannitol or circulation-improving drugs to relieve the edema of nerve roots, so as to treat the symptoms of nerve root radicular pain and limb numbness. There are also some circulation-improving drugs that can improve intracranial blood supply and increase cerebral blood flow, thus relieving the dizziness, nausea and vomiting corresponding to intracranial ischemic symptoms brought about by posterior circulation ischemia. For severe cervical disc herniation resulting in spinal stenosis, patients often need to undergo resection and decompression treatment of the vertebral body or disc, but the choice of surgical method should be carefully, with adequate preoperative evaluation and the selection of an appropriate surgical plan being important.
