What is a Cervical Herniated Disc?

A cervical herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like material of a spinal disc in the neck area pushes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness that affect the neck, shoulders, arms, and hands.

How does a Cervical Herniated Disc develop?

Cervical herniated discs are frequently caused by age-related degeneration but may also result from sudden injuries, such as whiplash or improper neck movements. Risk factors include poor posture, repetitive strain, and activities that place stress on the neck.

​

• Neck pain that may radiate to the shoulders or arms
