Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common and sometimes disabling condition that can result from disc degeneration, herniation, or spinal stenosis.

While many patients improve with conservative treatment, some require surgical intervention. When surgery is considered, the key decision is whether the affected segment can be treated while preserving motion, or whether stabilization is necessary.

In general, surgical options fall into three categories: motion preservation, stabilization, or targeted nerve decompression.

The main surgical interventions are cervical disc replacement, cervical discectomy and fusion, and posterior cervical foraminotomy.
