📌 Key Takeaways:
Majority of cervical slip disc patients recover fully with physiotherapy, supportive treatment, and patience.
Pain is mainly due to chemical irritation (inflammation) more than mechanical pressure.
IFT (Interferential Therapy), ultrasound waves, heat therapies, and traction increase blood flow, reduce swelling, and relieve pain.
Medicines like anti-inflammatories and nerve vitamin tablets help reduce pain and heal nerves faster.
Surgery is required only if there is severe hand weakness, loss of sensation, or if pain remains even after months of conservative care.
If treated correctly and patiently, surgery is avoidable for most patients.
