Neck Pain: Cervical pain or other symptoms can be treated with physical therapy but more aggressive treatment is may include medication, epidural spinal injections, and in some cases, surgery. If surgery is required, the vast majority of herniated discs can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. Consultation with neurosurgery or spine specialist is indicated if symptoms of weakness are involving arms.

Integrative care: Physical therapy and other conservative measures, including medication management, are considered first line treatment. If these fail, your physician may recommend epidural steroid injections to decrease the inflammation around the nerves of your spinal cord. In some instances, spine surgery may be necessary, especially if you have any numbness, weakness, or balance problems.
