How do neurologists treat spinal degenerative changes arthrosis and cervical herniation and lumber bulging disc. what medications 4 very symptomatic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conservatively: Appropriate pain medications are usually prescribed but we try and stay away from narcotic types of meds. Physical therapy is also a popular place for neurologists to send their patients with these sorts of symptoms. If all else fails, call in the surgical guys and see what they say.
