EDISCSCULPTCervical disc bulges are less common than disc bulges in other portions of the spine, and they may be more serious in some cases. Like all disc bulges, cervical disc bulges respond well to treatment and most patients are able to make a full recovery relatively quickly.
About Bulging Discs
A cervical bulging disc occurs when one of the discs in the neck becomes misshapen but remains intact. This can cause the disc to press against the spinal cord and nerve roots and cause symptoms like:
Bulging discs, even those in the cervical spine, can often be treated without resorting to surgery. In cases where the disc bulge is very severe or where it doesn't respond to conservative treatments, then cervical disc bulge surgery can be used. Fortunately, patients have more options than ever when it comes to surgical treatment. Disc bulges respond well to laser spine surgery, a minimally invasive procedure where a camera is inserted to allow the doctor to see the spine, and a laser probe is used to dissolve the bulging portion of the disc.
Insurance
If you are recommended to have cervical disc bulge surgery, it should be covered by your insurance as long as you choose a doctor who accepts your insurance, or who is covered by your insurance if you have a PPO plan. Thanks to insurance, the vast majority of patients are able to afford the surgery they need.
