Cervical Discectomy

Precision Pain and Spine Institute offers expert surgical care for patients suffering from chronic neck pain and related symptoms. Cervical discectomy is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve nerve compression caused by a herniated or degenerated disc in the neck.

What Is Cervical Discectomy?

A cervical discectomy is a surgery that removes a broken disc from the cervical spine to ease pressure on the nerves and spinal cord. When pain, stiffness, and weakness spread from the neck to the shoulders, arms, and hands, this process can help.

Common conditions that may require cervical discectomy include:

Herniated cervical discs
Cervical radiculopathy
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Nerve compression syndromes

Precision Pain and Spine Institute’s specialists use the latest surgical techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment.

What to Expect During Cervical Discectomy

The most common cervical discectomy technique uses minimally invasive techniques. To carefully remove the broken disc, the doctor makes a small cut in the front or back of the neck. This allows the nerves to work less hard, and the spine can stay stable.

The surgery is usually done without the patient living in the hospital. After a few weeks, the patient can slowly start doing everyday things again.
