Cervical disc herniation in closely related to the anatomy of cervical spine. The cervical spine consists of vertebrae and intervertebral discs spaced between them. The intervertebral discs consist of 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 process of natural wear and tear that the disc suffers throughout its lifetime.
