NECK PAIN
STOP CARRYING YOUR HEAD LIKE A BACKPACK!
Your cervical spine is sending you a warning signal. This delicate structure supports your head’s weight (equivalent to a bowling ball!) all day long. Poor posture, stress, or wear and tear can turn this vital area into a constant source of pain. Franchir offers French medical expertise to relieve your neck pain.
That persistent pain in your neck and shoulders, often with tingling in your arms and hands?
Neck Pains
A multifaceted condition: Understanding your neck
Neck pain can manifest in different ways, each with specific origins:
Cervicobrachial neuralgia: Pain radiating from neck to arm, sometimes to fingers. Like an “exposed electrical wire” sending shocks. Often caused by nerve compression.
Mechanical stiffness: A feeling of blockage, difficulty turning head. The neck is “locked like rust”.
Tingling (paresthesia): Numbness, pins and needles, “asleep hands”. A “warning from compressed nerves”.
Scientific Notebook
The Cervical Spine:
Composed of 7 vertebrae and 6 intervertebral discs. A cervical disc herniation or arthritis can compress nerves leading to the arms, causing these symptoms..
Did You Know?
Excessive screen use
Excessive screen use (phones, computers) is an increasing cause of neck pain, nicknamed “text neck“. Remember to take breaks and adjust your posture!
FUN FACT
Something in common with giraffes
A Commonality with Giraffes As surprising as it may seem, your neck has the same number of cervical vertebrae as a giraffe: seven! The size difference is simply because each giraffe vertebra can measure over 25 cm long.
Cervical Spine Surgery :
Get operated in France without sacrificing mobility.
When conservative treatments fail, French cervical spine surgery offers cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques focused on mobility preservation..
Innovative Surgical Techniques:
Gentle Repair: Anterior Micro-surgery
Principle : Small front neck incision for direct access to compressed disc/bone.
Benefits : Less pain, rapid recovery, minimal scarring.
Disc Replacement: Cervical Disc Prosthesis
Principle : Damaged discs replaced with artificial prostheses preserving segment mobility. Like changing an office chair cushion..
Nerve Release: Microscopic Neurolysis
Principle: 3D robotic microscope for extreme precision in nerve decompression. Benefits: Minimal incision, optimal tissue preservation
Benefits : Minimal incision, optimal tissue preservation.
« The CP-ESP cervical disc prosthesis, designed on the same model as the lumbar prosthesis (LP-ESP), maintains optimal movement and shock absorption in the operated spinal segment.
