The most common traditional treatment to start with is usually medication followed by physical therapy or chiropractic, folled by pain shots, and finally surgery.
Now there is an alternative treatment available called non-surgical spinal decompression. It is done with a machine called the drx 9000.

A herniated disc
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
The protrusion at the C6-C7 level suggests a herniated disc or a bulging disc that is pressing against the left exiting nerve root. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness radiating down the arm, depending on the specific nerve root affected. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve the pressure on the nerve root. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management plan.
I had a herniated disk at C5 C6. My symptoms started out as just an aching in between my shoulder blades. Over a period of about 2 weeks it progressivly got worse, the pain became so bad in my neck, shoulders and down my arm I would sit up and cry at night. I couldn't get rid of the pain till I had surgery. My disc was herniated into my spinal cord which was causing impingement. I had alot of numbness, tingling, pins and needles all over my body. The pain was unbearable!
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
I'm not a doctor, but I have been going through a lot of testing and diagnoses since October 2008 when I had a tear in my left shoulder (rotator cuff). I have always had problems with headaches and neck aches, but in March 2009 I started having back pain too. After months of going through the runaround, I have found out I have 3 disc problems (a herniated disc in my lower back L5-S1, a herniated disc in my mid/upper back at T8-T9, and either a degenerated, torn, or herniated disc in my neck at C5-C6.)Annual tear just means the outer portion of the disc is torn, which allows fluid to leak out and put pressure on the spinal cord and nerve outlets which causes pain in various places and may even cause a decrease in function in various parts of the body. I don't know exactly what spondylotic disease is but I believe it affects the vertebrae.Depending on what's torn in your shoulder, it's going to require lengthy physical therapy, surgery, or both.Ask some questions when you visit your doctors.
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
Complete effacement of the anterior subarachnoid space at c5-c6 is a thinning out of the disc material. Minimal cord deformation is possible scoliosis in the area of c5-c6.
Surgery is typically not needed for mild cases of disc osteophyte complex at the C5-C6 level. Conservative treatment options such as physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications are often recommended first to manage symptoms. Surgery may be considered if conservative measures fail or if there are severe neurological symptoms. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
