Neck Disc Pain

Neck disc pain is an all-too-common ailment that often goes untreated. Some people may ignore their neck pain because they think it was caused by sleeping in an awkward position; others might believe the numbness and tingling in their hands has nothing to do with an intervertebral disc in their neck. When neck pain and other upper body symptoms persist, however, a trip to the doctor is in order to determine if a disc in the neck is causing nerve compression and damage.

Neck disc pain is the result of intervertebral disc damage in the cervical region of the spine. The cervical spine includes seven vertebrae (C1-C7), soft discs in between most of those vertebrae, and an intricate structure of muscles, ligaments, and joints. Although the cervical region does not support nearly as much weight as the lumbar (lower back) region of the spine, the head and neck take part in so many subtle movements each day that it’s no surprise the neck’s discs begin to deteriorate as we get older. Conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, and bone spurs can pinch major nerve fibers in the spinal column, which in turn cause disc pain symptoms of numbness, tingling, and pain.

Although the symptoms of neck disc pain can be hard to live with, your treatment options need not be.
