One can opt for physiotherapy:
1. Strengthening exercises for the neck and cervical spine.
2. Hot fermentation
3. TENS for 30 mins/ 10-15 sittings.
4. Soft cervical collar. She can use cervical collar 2 hourly interval in day time. This has to be removed while eating and sleeping.
5. She should use a soft pillow for sleeping.
The above conservative treatment can be followed and, if one is better, surgery can be postponed. Though you have written with accupressure the pain did become less, but remember the MRI said that the disc is touching the nerve, with accupressure this might increase. Wish you all the best.
