Evaluation & Treatment
How We Diagnose Cervical Radiculopathy/Herniated Disc
Evaluation includes a detailed history and examination. Special maneuvers including strength, sensation, and reflexes testing are done. X-rays are evaluated to check the alignment of the bones. An MRI may be ordered to evaluate disk bulges and nerve root or spinal cord compression. In some cases electromyography and nerve conduction studies may be ordered evaluate the nerves further.
Nonsurgical
A majority of patients with cervical radiculopathy get better with time, medication, and physical therapy. Occasionally those with MRI findings that do not improve may benefit from spinal injections.
Surgical
In those who do not find relief with the above treatment and who have MRI findings, surgical treatment may be recommended. Recovery from spinal surgery depends on the procedure performed and typically takes several months.

Carrie K.
Dr. Argintar is quick and efficient and attentive at the same time. I was brought in before my insurance paperwork was even done! He had clearly read (or had been briefed on) my file and I think I was in and out of there in less than 20 mins from the time I walked in the door. Highly recommend.
Hannah C.
Dr. Argintar, his assistant and the receptionists were incredibly friendly and on-time. I felt heard and listened to, and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a professional and personable doctor and team.
Adam A.
Dr. Argintar was quick and to the point. He was able to identify the injury and recommend what I need to do to begin the healing process. He listened to what I had to say and was able to get me out in a timely manner.
Natalie P.
Dr Argintar was very knowledgeable and helped me understand a bit more of what was causing pain. He was open to listening to me and gave great suggestions on what I should be doing to minimize pain. Will definitely see him again for my follow up.
Pamela W.
I was most impressed by Dr Argintar’s understanding and enthusiastic support of my goal of returning to active participation in my sport, though I am an over-50 athlete. Dr Argintar was prompt, direct and took the time to explain my injury and route to recovery. As his patient, I felt respected and informed.
Sean G.
Dr. Argintar was very personable, explained what was going in with my injury, talked me through treatment options, and proposed a treatment plan that worked with my schedule. Great, quick visit.
