A care journey that begins with you.
Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
The neck, arm and hand function.
A cervical herniation may irritate a nerve root in the neck. Radiating pain, sensations and strength must be assessed alongside relevant imaging reports.
The path into the arm
Shoulder, forearm, hand or fingers: each area and its course deserve to be described.
Hand movements
Report dropping objects, loss of strength or new clumsiness.
Useful distinctions
Arm pain can also come from the shoulder or a peripheral nerve. New difficulty walking or loss of coordination requires urgent medical attention.
YOUR CONSULTATION IN MONTREAL
A useful resource for Montreal / Mont-Royal.
For the visit in Mont-Royal, prepare an example related to your workstation or arm use. Note the tolerated duration and fingers affected, without trying to test your own strength or reproduce significant pain.
An approach based on your clinical profile
02 / EXPLORE THE OPTIONS
Spinal decompression: a discussion based on your clinical profile.
The choice of care begins with your history, current signs and symptoms, and goals. A condition mentioned in a report does not dictate a treatment method.
- 1
Clarify your situation
Describe when the pain began and which neck movements change it. Existing examination results and previous care add to the discussion.
- 2
Discuss options and precautions
Non-surgical spinal decompression, adapted exercise, targeted osteopathic care or medical referral: relevant options are explained according to your situation and the limitations of each.
- 3
Track specific changes
Compare a chosen movement and arm symptoms. Reduced strength, new clumsiness or a walking problem warrants medical reassessment.
Suitability, limitations and other options
Cervical precautions must be checked before traction. Decompression is not suitable for every cervical disc herniation; suspected spinal cord involvement or instability requires medical advice. Spinal decompression uses motorized traction; results vary and no individual benefit can be guaranteed. Options include information, adapted exercise and, depending on the situation, medical care. Read the AAOS resource on cervical radiculopathy.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Cervical Disc Herniation: before your visit.
Guidance to help you understand the condition and prepare your questions.
Read the TAGMED guideWhere can I seek care for this condition in Montreal?
TAGMED Clinic welcomes you at 1140 avenue Beaumont, Mont-Royal (Québec) H3P 3E5, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., by appointment. Availability and confirmation are provided through Medexa.
Does hand pain necessarily come from the neck?
No. Irritation of a nerve at the wrist or elbow, as well as other problems, can cause similar sensations. The examination helps guide the discussion.
Which documents should I prepare for a cervical herniation?
Available reports and images, a list of care already tried and the course of pain, sensation and strength in the arm. New imaging is not routine before the first visit.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
Cervical precautions must be checked before traction. Non-surgical spinal decompression is not suitable for every cervical herniation; suspected spinal cord involvement or instability requires medical advice.
How many sessions should I plan for?
The name of a condition cannot determine the number of sessions. Goals, tolerance and progress should guide the development and reassessment of the plan. Also ask when a change in approach would be needed.
Are consultations reimbursed?
Osteopathy receipts may be issued. Check your policy conditions and whether your insurer recognizes the practitioner. Services are not covered by RAMQ.
