Surgery on a person's cervical spine is serious business, but it's often the only way to relieve someone's debilitating pain, his neurological deficits, and so forth which are caused by neck conditions. Cervical Spine Surgery NJ typically becomes necessary when nonoperative treatment such as physical therapy, medication, or other injection therapies do not yield satisfactory results. Cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal instability are all conditions that can compress nerves or the spinal cord and produce anything from neck pain and stiffness to radiating pain, numb fingers, and a weakness in the arms and hands, difficulty with balance and coordination.
