Cervical disc herniation is a common cause of neck and upper body pain.
The Neck
Cervical Fracture (Broken Neck)
The seven bones in the neck are the cervical vertebrae. They support the head and connect it to the shoulders and body.
Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve)
Cervical radiculopathy, commonly called a "pinched nerve," occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord.
Cervical Spondylosis (Arthritis of the Neck)
Neck pain can be caused by many things—but is most often related to getting older.
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (Spinal Cord Compression)
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neck condition that arises when the spinal cord becomes compressed—or squeezed—due to the wear-and-tear changes that occur in the spine as we age.
Cervical Stenosis, Myelopathy, and Radiculopathy
The cervical spine refers to that portion of the spinal column that is within our neck.
Congenital Muscular Torticollis (Twisted Neck)
Congenital muscular torticollis, also called twisted neck or wry neck, is a condition in which an infant holds his or her head tilted to one side and has difficulty turning the head to the opposite side.

Neck Sprain
The seven bones of the spinal column in your neck (cervical vertebrae) are connected to each other by ligaments and muscles—strong bands of tissue that act like thick rubber bands.
