What is the depth of penetration of therapeutic cold therapy (cryotherapy)? Could it have a physiolgic effect on a herniated disc as to cause pain relief or repair?
What is spinal decompression therapy?
I heard about a chiropractor offering spinal decompression as an alternative to back surgery for slipped or herniated disc. What does decompression therapy do?
I have under gone ozonucleolysis treatment for the cervic slipped disc at C5-C6 level. when will it recover?
C5-C6 disc shows a large paracentral and lateral herniation causing foraminal stenosis compressing the exiting nerve roots. Mild indentation of the cord seen. After taking the ozonucleolysis treatment, does the herniated disc shrink immediately at the time of administration of the said medical procedure or the process is slow and gradual. what could be the time period for the herniated dis to set at its original place whether it is possible after such treatment. Further what are the precautions to be taken by me in future so as to avoid further injury and pain. what are the exercises to be followed making the neck muscles strong so that the prolapsed disc does not cause problems in future. Is total recovery possible in such case after taking ozonucleolysis treatment?
Anyone had cervical spine surgery with Prestige?
I am a healthy 35 YO female with severe scoliosis in my neck. The mRI shows 3 vertebra that are crooked, with one severely herniated disc. I have complete numbness in right arm down to fingers and constant pain. 2 vertebra need to be fused/ corrected and the one in the middle needs the disc replaced. My doc is awesome. How long is recovery, how bad is the surgery? I have to get back to work as soon as possible.
