Neck (Cervical) Disc Herniation Care in Westlake, Austin
A herniated disc in the neck can cause neck pain and pain, numbness or tingling that travels into the shoulder, arm or hand. Symptoms depend on which nerve is irritated.
Neck Disc Care
We check strength, reflexes and sensation, review any MRI, and look at posture and movement. Appropriate cases may be treated with gentle chiropractic care and cervical decompression on the DRX9000, plus PiezoWave2 for tight, painful muscles. Weakness that gets worse, trouble walking or loss of coordination needs prompt medical evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the DRX9000 treat the neck?
Yes, the DRX9000 has a cervical (neck) setting. We use it only for patients who are good candidates after an exam.
Why does a neck disc cause arm pain?
The nerves that go to your arm leave the spine in the neck. When a disc irritates one of them, you can feel pain, numbness or tingling down the arm.
