Treatment of Cervical Herniation with Radiofrequency

Cervical herniation treatment using radiofrequency is one of the latest medical innovations that enhance the effectiveness of treating pain caused by cervical spine degeneration. This innovative solution significantly alleviates symptoms without the need for surgical intervention. Many people suffer from issues related to cervical disc pain, which impacts their daily quality of life. In this context, Dr. Mohamed Koura's center is a distinguished destination, known as the best interventional pain doctor, characterized by its ability to accurately diagnose cases and provide innovative treatment options like non-surgical cervical disc herniation treatment. In this article, we will explore how radiofrequency affects the improvement of cervical conditions and the importance of choosing the right center for treating these cases.

Understanding Cervical Herniation with Radiofrequency: Causes and Symptoms

Cervical herniation is a medical condition that affects the cervical vertebrae in the upper part of the spine, consisting of seven vertebrae. This problem occurs when the discs between the vertebrae rupture, leading to a loss of their function as flexible cushions that absorb shocks during movement. When excessive pressure is applied to the vertebrae, the gelatinous material from the disc can protrude and impact surrounding nerves, resulting in severe neck pain.

Common Symptoms of Cervical Herniation

Patients often experience pain in the neck, shoulder, and arms, which typically worsens with head or neck movement. Additionally, patients may feel numbness and tingling in their arms, significantly affecting their ability to lift objects or perform daily activities. These symptoms require precise evaluation and appropriate treatment to ensure an improvement in quality of life.

Treatment Methods for Cervical Herniation

The treatment of cervical herniation involves a range of strategies aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving the patient's health. Treatment often begins with pain-relieving medications and anti-inflammatory drugs, and the doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxants to ease muscle spasms.

Furthermore, patients are advised to undergo physical therapy sessions, which help reduce symptoms and restore mobility. Among the modern methods used in this field, radiofrequency treatment stands out.

How Does Radiofrequency Treatment Work?

This treatment begins with local anesthesia applied to the skin, followed by the insertion of a thin needle used to send radiofrequency waves to the affected nerves. These waves work to block pain signal transmission, providing effective symptom relief. This technique is safe and effective, as it does not impact the normal functioning and movement of the nerves, making it an ideal option for many patients.

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.
 

Can one 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 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.
