What is Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease?
Cervical degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal discs in the neck lose hydration and elasticity, leading to disc thinning, bulging, or herniation. This deterioration can cause:
- Persistent neck pain and stiffness
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling into the shoulders and arms
- Muscle weakness
- Reduced neck mobility and function
Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent further degeneration.

Regenerative Treatments for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate healing of inflamed and degenerated cervical discs and surrounding tissues.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells sourced from bone marrow or adipose tissue promote regeneration of damaged discs and spinal structures, helping restore stability and reduce pain.
Both treatments are performed on an outpatient basis with image guidance to maximize safety and effectiveness.
