Whether you are a professional athlete or an active grandmother, neck problems can seriously affect your lifestyle. These problems may cause nerve pain in the arms or shoulders, and may be the result of a disc herniation.
Chronic neck problems can lead to gradual pressure on the spinal cord that affects the entire body, often resulting in clumsiness, difficulty walking or performing such activities as writing. Only proper evaluation from experts can determine if pressure on the spinal cord is leading to problems.
The spine physicians at OrthoCarolina are specialists who evaluate the cause of nerve pain and recommend treatment. For disc herniations in the neck, our surgeons perform the latest outpatient microsurgical procedures.
