Get rid of left-sided head and neck pain with Dr. Qoura

Many people suffer from pain on the left side of the head and neck, a bothersome symptom that may be caused by stress or poor sleeping posture. However, it can sometimes indicate spinal problems such as a cervical disc herniation or cervical spondylosis. With medical advancements, neck pain treatment has become easier thanks to modern techniques like radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic neck pain treatment, which help in the complete recovery of cervical disc herniation without surgery.

Dr. Mohamed Qoura is one of the leading specialists in this field. He is considered the best neck pain doctor in Egypt due to his expertise and use of the latest treatment methods at the best neck pain treatment center, providing patients with effective and rapid recovery results.

Causes of Left-Side Head and Neck Pain
Pain on the left side of the head and neck can be caused by a variety of factors, some simple, such as muscle tension or poor sleeping posture, and others more complex, such as a cervical disc herniation or cervical spondylosis. Some of the most common causes include:

Muscle strain resulting from poor posture or prolonged phone use.

Pressure on the cervical nerves due to a slipped disc or herniated disc can lead to pain on the left side of the head and neck.

Circulatory problems or migraines that radiate to the neck can also cause this.

Cervical disc pain can cause headaches in the forehead or headaches upon waking due to nerve compression.

If the pain is accompanied by numbness or tingling in the arm, or difficulty moving the neck, these are signs that it is necessary to consult a top neck pain specialist to accurately determine the cause. Such symptoms may indicate nerve compression or the beginning of a cervical disc herniation, requiring urgent evaluation by a specialist. In this case, it is advisable to consult an experienced doctor like Dr. Mohamed Qoura, who has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating spinal problems using the latest technologies to ensure effective and rapid treatment without complications.

Symptoms of a Cervical Disc Herniation and its Relationship to Headaches
One of the most common causes of persistent neck pain is a cervical disc herniation, which occurs when one of the cervical vertebrae bulges and presses on the surrounding nerves. Symptoms of a cervical disc herniation associated with pain on the left side of the head and neck include:

Severe neck pain that radiates to the shoulder or arm.

Headache that starts at the back of the head and extends to the forehead or left side.

Numbness or tingling in the upper extremities.

Difficulty moving the neck or turning it.

If left untreated, it can progress to cervical spondylosis. Therefore, doctors recommend starting treatment for a herniated cervical disc early to avoid complications.

Latest Treatments for Neck Pain and Cervical Disc Herniation
Medicine has witnessed significant advancements in non-surgical neck pain treatment. Advanced techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic neck pain treatment are among the safest and most effective methods for treating pain on the left side of the head and neck.

Radiofrequency Ablation: This treatment helps relieve pain by blocking the nerve signals that cause it. It is considered one of the most successful methods for treating cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylosis.

Endoscopic treatment: This is used to remove part of the disc compressing the nerve without the need for open surgery, thus reducing recovery time and achieving excellent results in complete recovery from cervical disc herniation.

Doctors also sometimes recommend cervical disc herniation exercises to help relax muscles, improve blood circulation in the affected area, and naturally alleviate pain on the left side of the head and neck.

Prevention and daily habits to avoid head and neck pain: Prevention begins with healthy daily habits. Neck and shoulder pain can be avoided by maintaining proper posture, sleeping on a comfortable pillow, and avoiding prolonged phone use.

Practicing simple exercises and stretches helps strengthen neck muscles and improve flexibility. Addressing any cervical spondylosis in its early stages also helps avoid chronic pain.

It is never advisable to ignore pain or rely solely on painkillers. Consulting a qualified neck pain specialist is essential to determine the cause and begin the most appropriate treatment for your specific cervical disc herniation.

Pain on the left side of the head and neck can be an early sign of a problem with the vertebrae or nerves, so it's essential to take it seriously and not just rely on painkillers. With significant medical advancements in neck pain treatment, complete recovery from cervical disc herniation is now possible thanks to modern techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic therapy, which have proven highly effective in relieving pain and restoring normal movement without surgery.

Are all cases treatable with non-surgical solutions?

Certainly not, some cases must be treated surgically, and the most appropriate technique for the patient is determined through a medical examination and the presence of imaging studies.
 

Someone attend without a reservation?

No, it is necessary to make a reservation through a phone call or social media messages.
 

Are there any risks associated with pain treatment?

There are no risks or side effects associated with non-surgical pain interventions.

How long is the required stay in Egypt for a non-surgical intervention? (for foreign patients)

The patient needs only 3 to 4 days before they can travel comfortably, and the hospital stay does not exceed 6 to 8 hours.

Can a condition be diagnosed without imaging or a medical examination?

A condition cannot be accurately assessed and a proper medical diagnosis made without a medical examination and recent imaging studies.
 

Can reservations and payments be made via Visa before attending?

Yes, there are several payment methods available through Visa or electronic wallets by making a reservation on our website.

Does obesity affect knee osteoarthritis?

Certainly, obesity is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis.

Does radiofrequency cause nerve damage?

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.

Are non-surgical interventions a definitive treatment for spinal and joint diseases?

Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.

Can a herniated disc reoccur after a medical procedure?

If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.

Is the entire disc will be removed?

The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
 

Can radiofrequency remove a herniated disc?

This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.

Can the success or failure of non-surgical intervention be judged by post-intervention radiographic imaging?

The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.

Does spinal stenosis cause sciatica?

Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.

Does sciatica return after thermal ablation?

Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
