Stay away from an orthopedist when dealing with the cervical spine. Find a neurologist or neurosurgeon bc that's what they do.

My sister (no pics) has a disc problem and the dr recommeneded a traction device in lieu of surgery. She uses it about 10-15 minutes a day, and it's really helped.

I suffered for 14 years, traction massage and chiropractic helped off and on
Finally had C5-C6 fusion in 2001 by Dr Steven Bailey neurosurgeon (moved to Orlando the week after my surgery)
I waited way too long

Exhaust all options before spinal surgery or you may make an attorney a lot of money. I know someone who had a screw erode his esophagus and ended up a quadriplegic as a result of a failed cervical implant.

Start with your primary care physician.
