Neck Health

What is Neck Hernia?

A high-water-content nucleus exists at the center of the discs. The tearing of the strong membrane layer surrounding this nucleus as a result of excessive strain causes the nucleus to protrude, leading to cervical disk herniation.

This condition can lead to complaints such as:

  • Pain radiating to the arms
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Loss of strength

How is Neck Hernia Diagnosed?

Computed Tomography (CT)
3
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Neck Hernia Treatment

Non-Surgical Treatment

Mild neck hernias usually do not require surgery. The goal of treatment is to reduce pressure on the nerve and control pain:

  • 1-2 days of rest
  • Restricting neck movements
  • Anti-inflammatory and pain medications
  • Physical therapy and exercise programs
  • Epidural steroid injection

Surgical Treatment

Surgical treatment is applied in patients who do not respond to medical treatment, experience loss of strength, or have spinal cord compression. With microsurgery techniques, the part of the disc that presses on the nerve and spinal cord is removed. In advanced cases, surgery should not be delayed; otherwise, permanent paralysis can develop.

"The luxury version of state hospitals, featuring highly valuable doctors and friendly healthcare staff who do their jobs properly!!! Some doctors have supplementary insurance agreements, which should definitely be asked during the appointment stage. With supplementary insurance, you can receive diagnosis and treatment, including examinations, tests, and imaging, without paying a fee! There is valet parking service at a slightly high price, but the large open parking lot of the neighboring FSM hospital is reasonably priced! You can receive the necessary examinations in a peaceful environment at Yeditepe University Hospital!"

"The hospital I have been taking myself and everyone I love for 10 years; I have probably visited most of their doctors, from cancer treatment to child allergy specialists. Since it's a private but university hospital, my favorite aspect is the communication between departments; if there's another condition accompanying your illness, they get support immediately, so you don't have to go from doctor to doctor. Everything is state-of-the-art. They cured my 2.5-year-old nephew's cough in 2 days after 4 months. ♥️"

"Yeditepe University Kozyatağı Hospital is truly a very beautiful hospital. You receive professional and proper service in every sense. Doctors are just a phone call away; they answer immediately when you call, show maximum interest and respect to patients, and even reply to WhatsApp messages promptly. I visited Dr. Burak Çağrı Aksu in the Orthopedics clinic last week for my knee pain. He's a wonderful doctor, very attentive, and clearly very knowledgeable in his field; as he is also an academic at the university, he follows all developments in his area. I developed great respect for him and was very satisfied with the treatment process. Thank you very much."

"My surgery performed by Prof. Dr. Kinyas Kartal on December 1, 2025, was very successful. But it wasn't just the surgery; the subsequent care process was also very successful. I would like to thank the nurses who worked with great dedication day and night, the hospital staff who took care of the order and cleanliness of my room, and the entire team who kindly answered every question I had."
