People often ask if at Dr. Mosqueira Clinic we provide solutions to the following: cervical hernias y cervical canal stenosisThe answer is clear: Yes! El Dr. Bernardo Mosqueira, in addition to treating these problems found in the lumbar area, it also does so in the highest part of the spine, that is, in the cervical part. The reason There are fewer cases The reason we treat, or rather, why fewer videos of testimonials reflecting these types of cases are seen, is because lower back problems are more common among the population. Cervical disc herniation is a pathology treated in the clinic. Most cases are lumbar in nature, but as a matter of course, there are people who suffer from neck pain that requires treatment and intervention. We delve deeper into them.
Origin, symptoms and treatment of cervical disc herniation
The cervical spine is very susceptible to changes caused by osteoarthritis, especially after the age of 50. Twenty percent of these people will develop symptoms as a result of these changes. How does this type of hernia occur? Between the bodies of the cervical vertebrae, there are structures that act as cushions called vertebral discs. These are formed by two structures, a fibrous ring and, in the center, a nucleus pulposus, which degenerates over time.
When a fissure occurs in the fibrous ring that contains it, a fragment of the disc can come out and press on the structures it encounters, in this case, would put pressure on the nerve roots in the cervical area or even the entire spinal cord, depending on the area of compression and the size of the herniated material. As with stenosis, the onset of symptoms associated with this condition is usually gradual and progressive, and can even produce the same symptoms.
Microdiscectomy for cervical disc herniation
In mild cases, conservative treatment may be indicated initially. Surgery would be indicated for more severe cases. The most common in these cases is microdiscectomyThe power of non-invasive microsurgery gives the patient the power to great benefits when undergoing surgery, such as rapid patient recovery and the absence of plates or screws.
