What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes out through a tear in its tough outer layer. This can compress or irritate nearby spinal nerves, leading to discomfort that radiates through your arms or legs.

Symptoms Often Include:

Neck or lower back pain
Sciatica (sharp leg pain, tingling, or numbness)
Arm or shoulder pain
Weakness in the limbs
Pain that worsens when sitting, bending, or lifting

Herniated discs are most common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) spine and can vary widely in severity.

Causes and Risk Factors

Disc herniation may result from a sudden injury, but more often develops over time. Risk factors include:

Improper lifting techniques
Poor posture or sedentary lifestyle
Repetitive physical stress from work or sports
Natural disc degeneration with age
Obesity and lack of core strength
Trauma from car accidents or falls

At NYSI, our specialists use detailed exams and imaging to identify the exact cause of your symptoms and tailor a plan for your neck disk herniation treatment in the Bronx.

Treatment Options for Herniated Discs in the Bronx

Non-Surgical Care (Our First Approach)

We prioritize conservative treatments to help you avoid surgery whenever possible:

Targeted physical therapy to reduce pressure and restore strength
Ergonomic and posture correction for daily activity
Anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants
Corticosteroid injections or nerve root blocks for inflammation
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to encourage healing

These treatments are coordinated by our multidisciplinary team to give you the best chance of recovery without surgery.

When Surgery Is Needed

If symptoms don’t improve—or if nerve function is at risk—surgery may be the most effective option. We offer:

Microdiscectomy to remove the herniated portion of the disc
Laminectomy for decompression of compressed spinal nerves
Spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement for advanced degeneration

Our minimally invasive techniques allow for faster recovery, smaller incisions, and reduced pain after surgery.
