What is Cervical Disc Prolapse?

Slip disc or protruding disc occurs when the cushion-like cartilage (the disc) in between the vertebrae is torn, and the central core (Nucleus Pulposus) of the disc leaks. Slip disc can occur at any part of the spine, cervical (neck), thoracic (upper and mid-back) and/or lumbar spine (lower back).  Slip disc can be caused by a sudden trauma or by long-term pressure on the spine (prolonged sitting). People aged between 30 to 50 years are most commonly affected by slip disc. Repeated lifting, poor posture, sedentary life style and obesity are some of the risk factors for herniated disc.

In severe cases, a prolapsed disc might compress the nerves coming out of the neck bone causing cervical radiculopathy.

What is Cervical Spondylosis?

Cervical spondylosis (neck spine arthritis) is one of the most common cause of neck pain in the elderly population. As you age, most people develop some degree of wear and tear in the cervical spine leading to spondylosis. The other causes include, prolonged poor posture, injuries to spine, overuse of spinal joints, and excessive body weight. Pain and stiffness in the neck are the usual early symptoms, however few people might be symptom-free for a long time.  Although severe cases may require surgical treatment, most people will respond very well to physiotherapy and exercise-based treatment.
