Common questions
Can a neck disc bulge get better without surgery?
Many people improve with physiotherapy. After your assessment, we'll explain what we expect for your case.
Should I bring my MRI?
Bring any X-ray, MRI or scan reports you have. No scans? That's fine. We'll assess you and tell you if you need one.
When should I see a doctor?
If you notice weakness in your arms or hands, or trouble with balance or walking, see a doctor straight away.
See a doctor urgently if you have weakness in both arms or hands, clumsy hands, trouble walking or keeping your balance, or problems controlling your bladder.
