What is a disk herniation in the cervical spine?
Cervical disc herniation is closely related to the anatomy of the cervical spine. The cervical spine consists of vertebrae and intervertebral discs spaced between them. The intervertebral discs have a dense outer ring and a thick gel-like core or nucleus. The discs provide “cushioning” of the spine and permit the range of motion required to facilitate movement.
If the disc is deformed or the nucleus herniates the spinal cord or any adjacent nerves can become compressed. This type of deformation can be caused by loading or trauma. It can also occur as a natural wear and tear process that the disc suffers throughout its lifetime.
