If this occurs for a long period of time, our joints become inflamed and the discs may bulge.When the discs bulge in our spine, they now have a tendency to irritate the nerves. The nerves that supply our shoulders, arms, and hands come from our neck. So, when we experience pain and...
Although the disc doesn't really "slip", it can tear open, causing the fluid inside to push against the surrounding nerves (referred to as a ruptured disc) causing extreme pain or nerve damage to your spinal cord, neck or even your arms. Symptoms of a cervical herniated disc may include...
Shooting pain, if present, tells us that the problem lies in the vertebrae or intervertebral discs. Vertebra can be damaged due to arthritis, injury (fracture), osteoporosis or cancer. Discs can bulge or herniate due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) or injury. Pain, numbness and tingling c...
Cervical Herniated Disc:The discs between the vertebrae in the neck can herniate or bulge, pressing on nerves and causing pain. Cervical Spondylosis (Degenerative Disc Disease):The natural aging process can cause wear and tear on the cervical discs and joints, leading to pain and stiffness. ...
Arthritic (degenerative) changes in the spine, such asfacet joint hypertrophy, spinal stenosis, and bone spurs may also cause these symptoms. Posterior Disc Bulge vs. Herniated Disc Genetic and Congenital Conditions Genetic and congenital causes can cause neck and back pain as well. One example of...
A Herniated Disc When the jelly-like center of a spinal disc bulges out—orherniates—it may push towards the spinal cord. “This can do the same thing [asspondylosis], compressing the spinal cord or the spinal nerves,” says Dr. Baum. ...
Poor posture can also lead toinflammationin your shoulder. This condition is called subacromial impingement. It can lead to disc protrusions in your neck or a narrowing of your spinal canal called stenosis. As your discs experience more wear and tear, they can bulge or rupture. A ruptured dis...

Herniated disc: The shock-absorbing discs between vertebrae can become damaged and may develop a bulge and/or leak fluid.4 Synovial cyst: These lumps are caused by a buildup of joint fluid that forms a sac.5 Bone spur: An extra bit of bone forms in response to damage or chronic inflamma...
These relationships are especially important in patients with chronic neck pain, cervical herniated disc disease, and cervical instability. These structures cannot be visualized with MRI due to the static nature of MRI imaging. The neck pain specialists at NYDNRehab go beyond treating your symptoms,...
