Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
Neck pain involves more than a disc.
Cervicalgia means neck pain. A disc source may be discussed, but muscles, joints and other factors may also contribute to discomfort.
The effect on daily life
Specify tolerance for work, driving and sleeping positions.
Associated symptoms
Distinguish local pain from radiating pain, tingling and arm weakness.
Useful distinctions
Isolated neck pain differs from cervicobrachial neuralgia. Radiating pain or a change in strength must be described to make the assessment more precise.
YOUR CONSULTATION IN MONTREAL
A useful resource for Montreal / Mont-Royal.
For your appointment in Mont-Royal, prepare a simple description of your workstation and how long you tolerate it before discomfort. Also note whether symptoms remain in the neck or extend into the arm; these two patterns are not discussed in the same way.
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
Turning your head, reading or looking up: describe the movements that bother you. 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
Observe useful mobility, comfort in an activity and associated symptoms, then adapt the plan according to the response.
Suitability, limitations and other options
Neck pain alone is not an indication for cervical traction. Goals, precautions, uncertainties and active alternatives must be explained. 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
Discogenic Neck Pain: 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.
Can all neck pain be attributed to the disc?
No. The neck contains several structures, and pain may involve several factors. An imaging result must be compared with symptoms and examination.
What changes when pain radiates into the arm?
It may lead to investigation of root irritation or another cause in the upper limb. New or progressive weakness requires prompt medical advice.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
Neck pain alone is not an indication for cervical traction. Goals, precautions, uncertainties and active alternatives must be explained.
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.
