WEBINAR: Cervical Disc Herniation

Cervical disc herniation is a degenerative condition where disc material protrudes and compresses a nerve in the neck leading to the arm.  

The onset is often quite sudden and unpredictable. It is common for people just to wake up in the morning with a crick in their neck and then feel a sharp stabbing pain down their nerve in the arm.

Other symptoms include tingling, numbness and weakness in the arm or hand.

You can read my article for patients on Cervical Disc Herniation here. Cervical disc herniation is one of the five most common surgeries.
