Cervical disc disorders - what does this mean

Cervical disc disorders occur when the intervertebral discs in the neck become damaged or deteriorate due to age, trauma, or degenerative diseases. this can cause the discs to become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, shoulders, and arms. in some cases, the disc may even rupture, leading to more severe symptoms.

What happens during the disease - cervical disc disorders

Cervical disc disorders are caused by a combination of degenerative changes in the discs, ligaments, and joints of the cervical spine, which can lead to abnormal strain and pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. this can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms, hands, and legs, as well as difficulty with balance, coordination, and mobility.
