Treatments / Neck Hernia

Although there is no genetic inheritance, children whose parents have this disease have a higher risk of developing a cervical herniated disc because genetic factors can influence the sensitivity of the disc joints.

The most prominent symptom of a cervical hernia is neck pain, but not all neck pain is caused by a hernia. The majority of neck pain is of muscular origin. The pain caused by a herniated disc is seen as pain in the back, shoulder blade, shoulder, back of the head and down to the fingertips. Apart from pain, in advanced hernias, depending on the function of the pinched nerve, numbness, chills, loss of sensation, tingling, loss of strength may occur in certain parts of the arms and fingers.

Cervical hernia is diagnosed as a result of the MRI report taken in the relevant region of the patient after oral and physical examination after the patient suspects a hernia due to the pain in the neck region.

The majority of patients who do not want to have an MRI have panic attacks and there are methods to diagnose cervical herniated disc disease other than MRI. One of these methods is EMG, electromyography. Electromyography is a test that electrically measures the activity and voltage of the muscles, and the diagnosis is made according to the positive and normal results of the muscles and sensory nerves. In addition, tests such as medicated tomography and normal x-rays are helpful diagnostic tools in neck hernia.

Today, medication, physical therapy modalities and devices, radiation, laser, needle, ozone and prolotherapy, surgery, etc., especially chiropractic treatment methods, which have been on the agenda recently due to the sounds emitted during the application, are not able to permanently cure cervical hernia disease. In order for patients with cervical herniated discs to be permanently cured, it is necessary to terminate the contact with the affected disc by removing it from the nerve and spinal canal. Oral medication, physical therapy modalities such as ultrasound, electrotherapy, infrared, hot packs, etc., laser, needle, ozone and prolotherapy, chiropractic methods do not affect the size of the disc and therefore do not have a permanent healing effect on the hernia. Surgery, on the other hand, changes the physical size of the disc by creating a deficiency in the anatomy, which causes more serious problems than a hernia. Although cervical hernia surgery is a treatment method applied by neurosurgeons, even a neurosurgeon with end-stage hernia would never prefer surgery as the right treatment method for himself.

In the medical world, the concept of time has had a positive effect on the trajectory of medicine for some diseases and a negative effect for some diseases with the development of equipment and technology applied in the methods. For example, in the removal of the gallbladder of a patient with stones in the gallbladder, instead of keeping the incision area wider, making the operation by opening five holes and using a sterile camera made the surgical procedure more risk-free and comfortable for both the patient and the physician, but the development of equipment and technology over time has reduced the real medical applications applied for cervical hernia disease and negatively affected the success rates of cervical hernia treatment. The manual therapy method applied in the Anatomy Form dimension is the real medicine itself. The correct and permanent method for cervical hernia disease is the manual therapy method applied in the Anatomy Form dimension.
