A member asked:
What is the typical course of treatment for a herniated disc, bulging disc, and desiccation, all in the cervical area, if physical therapy is no longer improving pain/stiffness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated disc: Hello, usually when medical treatment is no longer effective, disc prostheses are usually used, but it would be a surgical means, I recommend you go to the specialist to tell you your option
