Whether Trection is helpful?

Are you absolutely sure that these do not need to be replaced? One morning a couple of years ago, I woke to find horrendous pain and I was barely able to move. For no reason I can think of, it turned out, by MRI, that C5, C6 were totally crushed and not at the back of my neck, but, in the front of my throat! Surgeon did a great job making new ones out of my hip bone, and all is well, now. Be sure that your bulging is not more than that, PLEASE. It is sooooooooo painful. Your dr might put you into traction, and the doctor may give you anti-infamatories, so your swelling may go down, and the pain will be reduced, as well. the key thing here, is that you DO see a qualified doctor for this, and quickly, please! I hope you feel better, today.

Yes, Bulging of the Cervical 4 and Cervical 5 th Vertebra's can be cause pressing upon the spinal cord. Traction is helpful and complete rest is necessary to relive the condition. You to consult a doctor and do the tests also.

I saw an advertisement on television the other day about Spinal Decompression. Speak with a Chiropractor about this and see if this will help your pain. The way I perceived it is it is a type of traction that releases the C's from pressing against the spinal cord.

Whenever a disc is causing cord compression, this is a potentially serious situation which could lead to weakness, spasticity and possible permanent spinal cord damage. While I've yet to hear of someone who has become compeletly paralyzed from a herniated disc, I've seen many cases of permanent foot drop or leg weakess requiring the use of an orthosis (a leg brace) in order for the person to walk normally. Strenous exercise could increase the swelling and potentially increase the size of the herniation. Even if surgery is not needed, I suggest you ask this very serious question to a neurosurgeon regarding the suggested level of activity.

Eat atleast 500 gms of garlic well cooked with other food every month. You should see positive results after the end of the first week itself. If not, then take the path of meditation based on self-realization under the guidance of a spiritual teacher and get rid of your problem.

It depends on the severity of the compression. it wont help if u have any neurological symptoms.Some form of vertebral manipulations can help. If ur injury is recent u need a lot of rest and traction to prevent spasm pain.

Yes, may be helpful but such cases need management by a good orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist. And your question should be in health category
