Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Usually, the spinal cord and nerve roots are protected within the spinal canal. The spinal canal is guarded by the vertebrae which separated from one another by a cushion like intervertebral discs. With age, degenerative changes occur which leads to
disc prolapse and spinal cord/
nerve root compression.
These degenerative changes are not completely reversible but the further progression of these changes can be retarded with medical treatment and regular
physiotherapy exercises.
Usually the treatment goes in following lines: rest, lifestyle modifications (namely- avoiding pillow while sleeping, following a healthy
diet plan, maintaining suitable posture while working on computer/driving, avoiding any activity that strikes neck discomfort), medications (that your physician prescribes) and most important physiotherapy ( in form of neck exercises, cervical traction if required along with local ultrasonics).
Neurotropic vitamins like METHYLCOBALAMINE (activated Vit B12) or PREGABALIN will help in alleviating the
neuropathic pain and numbness.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
