Neurosurgeon only- Cervical Spine injury C4,5,6 prolapse, can you recommend?

for Neurosurgeons only. My wife had a serious accident in which her
cervical spine suffered a prolaps 3 months ago.
Although she can walk normally, sit and move, she still suffers
from infrequent, once or twice daily tremours to her abdomen, and has generally low sensation in her arms and hands, downward from her elbow.
The Neurosurgeon has no solution as she won't have an OP.
Can the spinal injury be healed over time, and does a stiff neck collar help to improve this symptoms? She can only wear a soft collar the stiff collar gives her real discomfort.

I would stick to the soft collar, and continue with symptomatic treatment. You could always get a second opinion. Recovery from neuronal damage is highly unpredictable, typically happens early in the course but improvement has been known to happen even months after the injury. ask your doctor about things like lyrica or cymbalta that may help your wife, good luck
