Description: The seven vertebral bodies of the cervical spine are aligned as a stable row. The spinal disks between the vertebral bodies allow for the flexibility of the spine and serve as a buffer against external forces. In a slipped disk parts of the disk protrude and impinge on the nerve. Patients with a disk prolapse in the cervical spine have neck pain that radiates into the shoulder and arm. Pain is often associated with paresthesias and a feeling of tingling or numbness in the arm and the hand.

Disc prolapses can occur in the neck as well as the lower back. The prolapsed cervical disc will cause pressure on the nerve going to the shoulder and down the arm. Symptoms can be quite dramatic at first, but again there is potential for improvement without invasive management in the form of surgery. A cause for concern in the cervical spine is that it is possible for compression of the spinal cord with rather more far reaching consequences. A central disc prolapse remains as uncommon as they are in the lumbar spine. Cervical discs are designed in exactly the same way as the lumbar spine but is much smaller and tends to take considerably less load.

The shoulder and arm pain from a cervical herniated disc results because the herniated disc material pinches or presses on a cervical nerve, causing pain to radiate along the nerve pathway down the arm. Along with the shoulder and arm pain, numbness and tingling can be present down the arm and into the fingertips. Muscle weakness may also be present due to a cervical herniated disc.
