Personalized, Advanced Care

Our expert team, led by Dr. Michael Gerling, provides advanced herniated disc treatment in NYC tailored to each patient's specific condition. Whether you are dealing with a herniated disc in the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) region, we offer a range of treatment options designed to relieve pain and improve mobility.

Common Causes of Herniated Disc

Herniated discs can result from a variety of factors, including:

  • Aging: As discs naturally wear down over time, they become more susceptible to herniation.
  • Injury: Sudden trauma or heavy lifting can cause a disc to rupture.
  • Poor Posture: Poor body mechanics, like slouching, can contribute to increased pressure on the discs.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

Depending on the location of the herniated disc, symptoms may include:

  • Pain in the back or neck
  • Radiating pain down the arm or leg
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness
  • Difficulty moving or bending

Herniated Disc Treatment Options in NYC 

At Gerling Spine Care NY, we focus on non-surgical methods first, only recommending surgery if necessary. Our comprehensive treatment options for herniated disc treatment in NYC include:

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery 

If conservative treatments don't provide relief, minimally invasive procedures like microdiscectomy or lumbar discectomy may be recommended. These procedures remove the herniated portion of the disc to relieve pressure on the affected nerves, providing faster recovery with less discomfort compared to traditional surgery.

Epidural Steroid Injections 

For patients with significant pain or inflammation, epidural steroid injections can help reduce swelling around the nerve roots, offering relief from pain and allowing you to participate in physical therapy and other treatments.

Physical Therapy 

Our team works closely with experienced physical therapists to help strengthen the muscles around your spine, improve posture, and alleviate pressure on the affected discs, offering long-term relief and preventing future injury.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections 

PRP injections utilize your body's own healing properties to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation, promoting healing of the damaged disc tissue and providing relief from pain.

Regenerative Medicine 

We offer advanced treatments like bone marrow aspirate injections and stem cell therapy, which can promote healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue regeneration in the affected area.
