Spine Treatment for Neck (Cervical Spine) Conditions in New Jersey
Neck / Cervical Procedures & Treatment
As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Skovrlj approaches cervical spine treatment with precision and expertise, utilizing both conservative and surgical interventions based on each patient’s specific condition. Treatment options may include minimally invasive procedures, artificial disc replacement, or cervical fusion surgery. Using advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical navigation systems, Dr. Skovrlj can target specific areas of concern while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissue, leading to better outcomes and faster recovery times.
What Are Cervical Spine Conditions?
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae (C1-C7) that form the neck region, connecting the skull to the thoracic spine. These vertebrae, along with surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves, provide crucial support and mobility for the head while protecting the spinal cord. The cervical spine’s unique structure allows for a wide range of motion, including rotation, flexion, and extension, making it essential for daily activities such as driving, reading, and using electronic devices.
What Problems Cause Pain Issues in the Cervical Spine?
Cervical spine pain can arise from various conditions, including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, cervical stenosis, or traumatic injuries. Modern lifestyle factors, such as poor posture during computer use or prolonged smartphone viewing (“tech neck”), can accelerate wear and tear on cervical vertebrae. Additional causes may include autoimmune conditions, infections, or age-related degeneration. When these conditions compress or irritate nerve roots or the spinal cord, patients may experience neck pain, headaches, or radiating symptoms into the shoulders and arms.
