Sponsor's own description

Cervical disc herniation is a common source of cervical radiculopathy, which can occur suddenly due to trauma and results from chemical and mechanical degenerative changes that occur over time, with an annual incidence of 1.6 per 100,000 and is more common in people in the third to fifth decades of life. The prevalence of cervical disc herniation increases with age in both men and women. It is more common in women and accounts for more than 60% of cases. Cervical disc herniation is a spine disease that seriously affects the quality of life of patients and imposes a heavy economic burden on individuals and society. In recent years, with the widespread use of mobile phones and computers and the increase in the life pressure of today's people, the incidence of cervical disc herniation has shown a younger trend. The role of surgical and non-surgical treatment of patients with cervical disc herniation has not been adequately investigated. While the majority of published data reflects surgical outcomes, there is little data on the outcomes of patients treated without surgery. The most commonly used non-surgical treatments are manipulation, mobilization, kinesiology taping and therapeutic exercises along with electrotherapy agents such as laser therapy, TENS, vacuum interferential and traction. Exercise is considered one of the evidence-based methods to reduce pain in cervical disc herniation, prevent further injury, increase muscle strength, endurance and flexibility, improve proprioception, and contribute to and maintain normal life activities. Exercises used in neck pain in the literature consist of various exercises such as cervical isometrics, cervical concentric/eccentric exercises using pulley systems or weights, upper extremity exercises using dumbbells or deep neck flexor/extensor rehabilitation. Isometric exercises are effective in treating neck pain, range of motion and disability.
