Should I Get Neck Surgery?

A new study shows no different outcomes at 2 years with physical therapy vs neck fusion surgery + physical therapy in patients with a cervical radiculopathy (neck pain with pain that radiates into your arm)!  This means you may not need surgery, and you should consult with your physical therapist prior to contemplating surgery.  Surgery should be your last option and conservative treatments should be exhausted before surgery.  If you have neck pain or pain that radiates into your arm, contact Pursuit Physical Therapy and lets get treatment started to get you out of pain!
