The common places where neck pain comes from are either the discs or the facet joints. The muscles responds to this through spasm but patients could also experience radiating arm pain, weakness, numbness or pins and needles. If you’re suffering any of these symptoms I’d be more than happy to see you and provide you with a diagnosis and individualised treatment options for the best chance of resolution of these symptoms.
The most common conditions that are successfully treated with surgery are nerve compression symptoms including disc prolapses, foraminal stenosis or spinal cord compression.
It is either going to be neck pain or referred pain, weakness, numbness, pins or needles that you are experiencing due to axial neck pain and referred neurological symptoms. On rare occasions the spinal chord becomes compressed, which can also affect lower limb power, balance, fine motor skills and bowel and bladder function.
If someone suffers from severe pre-operative, neck and radiating arm pain from disc protrusion, most patients are amazed at the rapid resolution of their symptoms, particularly the nerve compression symptoms. They’re actually surprised a lot of the time at how good they feel post surgery in a very short amount of time.
Make an appointment to come and see me so that I can thoroughly evaluate that condition that’s affecting your spine and provide you with a comprehensive array of treatment options to provide you with the best chance of achieving a resolution of those symptoms.
