For someone suffering with severe pain from a herniated disc in the neck with neck spasm, arm pain, numbness and tingling, seeing a specialist for pain management is sometimes the best way to get safe, quick relief. But what is Pain Management and how can it help with non-surgical treatment of a herniated disc in the neck? For this video, leading cervical spine specialist Dr. Seth Neubardt met with pain management specialist Dr. Brad Cash to find out what approach he takes to help patients manage their pain.

Pain management, a very popular treatment today, involves seeing a physician who specializes in managing pain. There are two types of specialists: one who only prescribes medications and therapies and one who helps patients manage their pain with injections. Some specialists such as Dr. Cash may do all, but more frequently they’re divided into the two sub-specialties.

For patients who do not need surgery right away, Dr. Cash uses physical therapy, medications and injections to help provide relief from the pain of a herniated disc. When patients come in with severe pain, he typically gives an injection and then sends them home with oral medication. After the inflammation reduces, he may recommend chiropractic or physical therapy.

Watching the video, you will learn about the types of injections and oral medications used to manage the inflammation and pain from a herniated disc in the neck. You will also hear warnings from Dr. Neubardt to keep in mind as you seek pain management.
