Neck Hernia Treatment with Physical Therapy

Cervical disc herniation, medically called cervical disc herniation, is the pressure on the spinal cord or nerves separated from the spinal cord as a result of the rupture or slippage of the discs that serve as a cushion between the vertebrae.

As a result of this pressure, the nerve is compressed, causing pain and limitation of movement.

Our spine, which enables our body to stand upright, provides basic movements and carries its weight, consists of bones we call vertebrae. Among these are supporting tissues called discs. These support tissues act as shock absorbers in order to balance the load on the vertebrae.

There are 7 vertebrae in the neck region of our spine and there are 5 discs between them.
