What are treatments for herniated Cervial Neck discks?!
Question: In the c3 c4 region, on the left side ..with narrowing disks in between?
Answers:
Depends on your symptoms and other findings. Herniated disks in and of themselves may or may not be clinically significant (studies have shown Disc abnormalities in 40-60% of aymptomatic subjects). Do you have pain? Radiating pain to an arm? Numbness, tingling, or weakness?
If you have pain only or pain and mild to moderate arm pain or numbness, with no weakness or other abnormalities, then physical therapy, chiropractic, and analgesics should do the trick, and the symptoms will probably improve over time. Make sure you follow your doctors' recommendations.

Still seek chiropractic help, but choose a different chiropractor The one you are going to has not helped you. If you can, go see Dr. Darrow. For more information about him and the phone number for his office, just go to his website: http://www.darrowtotalcare.com
He does a special gentle "neck traction" treatment sessions that might be just exactly what you need! I've never had to go to a chiropractor.
