A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physical therapy : The disc herniation can potentially cause a nerve injury if there is pressure on the nerve in that area, which supplies sensation & motor function to the arm primarily. If the reflexes & muscle strength are normal, usually a period of time with physical therapy is tried before any surgery, although surgery may have to be considered. Talk to ordering Dr
