I have disc herniations and bone on bone in one area of my spine. I am in a lot of pain, what can I do?
Most disc herniations can be treated without surgery. There are many causes of back pain; most are also treated without surgery. Is there hope? Yes. There is always hope. There are many approaches, surgical and non-surgical for treating lower back problems. They include physical therapy and pain management. With respect to disc herniation in your neck, the same holds true. Visit with an orthopaedic spine surgeon and have it evaluated. Certainly bring your diagnostic studies to the office visit so the information form those studies can be explained to you.
