What Are the Treatments for Cervical Disc Prolapse?
The cervical disc is the cushioning material that lies in between each vertebral body, allowing for space and shock absorption. When the disc protrudes or bulges beyond its normal boundaries, it is called a herniated or prolapsed disc. When a cervical disc prolapse occurs, it will often irritate a cervical nerve, resulting in neck pain and radiating pain down the arm. Treatment choice is driven by the severity of symptoms.
