Herniated disc pressing on the nerve root is a condition that sounds frightening, and it’s no surprise that many people fear it because this disease is common and can affect anyone. More importantly, some people, when they start having minor symptoms, often think it’s just ordinary muscle pain and neglect it until the symptoms worsen significantly.
<h2>Causes of Herniated Disc Pressing on the Nerve Root</h2>
Herniated disc pressing on the nerve root can result from various factors, including aging, as the discs naturally degenerate over time and with use. Degeneration can also occur from daily activities such as lifting heavy objects incorrectly, sitting in the wrong posture, prolonged bending of the neck while using a phone regularly, and accidents that cause severe impact to the discs.
If the condition is ‘cervical spinal nerve root compression’ directly, patients often experience a stiff neck, difficulty moving or turning the neck, neck pain, arm weakness, numbness, and possibly radiating pain down the arm. If you start experiencing these symptoms, you should see a specialist immediately.
<h2>Herniated Disc Pressing on the Nerve Root Can Be Treated</h2>
Treatment for herniated disc pressing on the nerve root varies depending on the severity of the condition. If it is not severe, treatment can include physical therapy, medication, and the use of devices to stimulate or relax muscles.
<h2>Innovative Microscope-Assisted Surgery for Herniated Disc Pressing on the Nerve Root</h2>
Currently, there is a modern surgical innovation that is a good treatment option called Anterior Cervical Discectomy And Fusion (ACDF), which is a ‘minimally invasive surgery using a high-magnification microscope’ known as Microscope surgery. The surgeon removes the herniated disc in the neck that is pressing on the nerve root and inserts a substitute material to fuse the cervical vertebrae together. This surgery is highly precise and meticulous, ensuring safety for the patient with only a small surgical wound, allowing for faster recovery compared to other surgical methods.
However, although most cases of herniated disc pressing on the nerve root can be cured, if symptoms appear early and are not severe, medication and physical therapy can improve the condition. Patients should be diagnosed and treated early and not endure pain to the point where normal life is impossible or the disease progresses severely requiring surgery. If suspicious symptoms are found, consult a specialist immediately.
