Turtle neck syndrome, high risk of leading to neck disc issues
Cervical disc herniation symptoms vary depending on the degree of disc protrusion.
Since nerves that connect to the shoulders, arms, and hands are located in the cervical spine
Symptoms such as numbness or radiating pain appear in this area.
If the protrusion of the disc is severe
Weakness may appear in one arm, accompanied by headaches and dizziness.
If you receive an early diagnosis of a cervical disc herniation
Symptom improvement can be expected through conservative treatments such as medication therapy and injections.
However, if there is no effect even with conservative treatment
Ultimately, it is necessary to consider surgical treatment.
Recently, to reduce the burden of spinal surgery
Many patients are considering spinal endoscopic surgery.
Spinal endoscopic surgery involves creating two small holes without skin incisions.
Perform surgery by inserting endoscopic and surgical instruments.
Since the degree of skin damage is minor
There is an advantage that the rehabilitation period is relatively short and recovery is quick.
