Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using healthcaremagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns .. In my opinion i think you may ask your physician for steroid injections which may be helpful prior to any further intervention , try chiropractor sessions , B12 vitamin supplementation , hot massages with topical gels and some spinal straightening exercises and even yoga are very helpful . Further researches mentioned TENs ( transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ) , acupuncture and plasma exchange . In my opinion i recommend MRI and a neurosurgeon point of view for minor endoscopic interventions are of very high value with nerve compression or even surgical fixation with rods and plates if needed . Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
