What an incredible experience everybody was super professional. I was a little worried at first because I’m so used to the doctors doing image work and MRIs and Dr. Padra. He literally just did an exam and we found the exact same spot that I got diagnosed, but then there was another spot with my SI joint, which I’ve never been told about which actually caused more pain than my other spot which was my lower back…. So we just did both and it’s been a week and I’m already feeling a difference. I’m hoping three week mark is gonna be the time where I really really start to feel it so thank you again. You guys were awesome. I will definitely be sending people to you and at some point come back when I need it. 🙂
What is Cervical Disc Herniation?
Cervical disc herniation occurs when the gel-like center of a spinal disc in the neck bulges or ruptures through the outer layer, irritating nearby nerves. This condition can cause:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the shoulders, arms, or hands
- Muscle weakness
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are critical to prevent worsening symptoms and improve quality of life.
Regenerative Treatment Options for Cervical Disc Herniation
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP harnesses the healing power of your own blood’s growth factors to reduce inflammation and promote repair in cervical spinal tissues.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells obtained from bone marrow or adipose tissue aid in regenerating damaged discs and nerve structures, improving spinal stability and reducing pain.
Both therapies are outpatient procedures performed with advanced imaging guidance to ensure accuracy and patient comfort.
