Cervical Disc Herniation and Physical Therapy Treatment at Hohman Rehab
A cervical disc herniation occurs when an intervertebral disc in the neck displaces from its fibrous layer, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. This nerve irritation often leads to pain, discomfort, and weakness. Common causes include age-related spinal changes, trauma, poor posture, repetitive lifting, and sedentary lifestyles. While some individuals experience no symptoms, others may have flare-ups that significantly affect daily activities.
Symptoms of Cervical Disc Herniation
Patients with cervical disc herniations may experience:
- Neck pain
- Radiating pain or numbness down the arm and into the fingers
- Arm and hand weakness
- In severe cases, bilateral symptoms in both arms
