What does it mean if you get a report "cervical herniated" with regard to your neck?

Answer by  mpg (62)

Your spine is composed of bones, called vertebra, stacked on top of each other. In between each bone is a soft cushioning called a spinal disc. Cervical herniation means that the discs in between the vertebra in your neck area protrude out and touch the nerves that leave the vertebra.

A "cervical herniated" disc in the neck is when a portion of the spine bulges from alignment and causes numbness, pain, or a tingling sensation in the arms.

Answer by  cindy (1484)

A cervical herniated disc is a disc herniation in your cervical or neck region of your vertebral spinous column. It can cause no symptoms or it can compress an exiting nerve causing neuropathic electrical pain and/or numbing in the upper extremities. It could also cause upper extremity muscle weakness and pain.

This means there is one or more herniated (ruptured)disks in the cervical spine (C-spine.) This usually requires surgery, though conservative treatments may include PT or a cervical collar.
