Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Protrusion of cervical discs is an age related degenerative change in the spine. Conservative treatment with pain killers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy is the first line of treatment. Surgery is considered only in severe cases.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
