This article provides a review of the literature evaluating treatments for cervical disc herniation. As the most common cause of neck pain and even disability, cervical disc herniation often requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. The author examines the effectiveness of complex exercise therapy, including a number of therapeutic exercises and methods of manual therapy and SIS-therapy, using a high-intensity magnetic field. The review contains a description of various clinical trials, and also presents comparative functional characteristics of these methods to assess the effectiveness, safety and effectiveness of treatment. The author conducted a comparative analysis of the SIS-therapy method with the exercise therapy method in the treatment of herniated discs of the cervical spine based on consideration of such aspects of their impact as the mechanism of action, effectiveness, safety, accessibility and convenience, time and cost, and overall impact on health. The results show that complex exercise therapy and SIS-therapy are the most promising non-invasive treatment methods that can significantly improve the degree of pain relief, mobility and overall quality of life of patients with cervical disc herniation. The article provides recommendations for the implementation of these treatment methods in clinical practice and suggestions for further directions of research.
