If the pain is severe, traction can be given to the cervical vertebra to fix and protect the cervical vertebra support, and the painful part can be smeared with Voltalin ointment, topical flurbiprofen axetil gel, oral celebrex and closed drug injection. Blocked drug injection is local injection of glucocorticoid and lidocaine. Has the functions of diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, and has quick effect and good curative effect. If necessary, MRI examination of the neck can be given to further diagnose the presence or absence of cervical disc herniation.
