Neck Hernia is the disease caused by the displacement of the cartilage between the neck vertebrae towards the spinal canal, and the pressure on the nerves coming to the arm and the spinal cord.
The neck is the body part that provides the connection between the head and the body, supports the head and enables its movement. The neck consists of 7 bones called vertebrae. There are jelly-like cushions called discs between the vertebrae. Discs provide a balanced transmission of the load on the body to the lower body parts. The nerves that go to the spinal cord and arms pass through the spine in the neck. Neck pain and spinal disorders in the neck region are less common than low back pain. In any problem in the neck region, pain radiating to the head, shoulder, arm and front of the chest can be seen as well as neck pain. Neck pain is usually associated with neck stiffness. Pain intensity may vary during climate change, movement, and day. The pain is usually blunt and felt like pressure or burning. The painful area is sensitive to touch. Sometimes there may be sound during neck movements. Pain may also be accompanied by numbness and burning sensation in the arm. The neck vertebrae are the smallest and most delicate vertebrae of the spinal system. They can easily be affected by trauma. They also have very mobile joints. They can move forward, backward, right, left and sideways
