In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum dives into the world of cervical disc herniations, explaining the primary signs and non-surgical methods that can alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

He covers three major indicators of a cervical disc injury, including pain that radiates down the arm, pain relief or worsening with specific neck movements, and increased pain when coughing or straining. Dr. Dudum also shares an inspiring case study of a patient named Brent, who overcame a severe neck disc herniation and found relief without surgery through personalized decompression therapy. Brent’s story illustrates the importance of customized treatment, from adjusting the decompression angle to utilizing an oscillation cycle.
