Physical therapy – Exercise to strengthen the neck muscles
Hot or cold therapy – Heat pads to increase circulation or cold pads to reduce swelling
Pain medicine – Over-the-counter drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as well as prescription pain killers
Anti-inflammatory injections – Cortisone or steroidal solutions to numb pain
Behavior modification – Avoiding activity that might exacerbate neck herniated disc symptoms
Chiropractic therapy – Including traction or non-surgical spinal decompression therapy
Acupuncture, massage, cervical pillows
cervical herniated disc pain deteriorates significantly after months of conservative treatment at that time you may want to consider surgery.
