Cervical disc prolapse
The neck consists of 7 vertebrae, and between each vertebra there is cartilage, and at the same level at each cartilage there are two nerves, one for the right arm and the other for the left arm. At the back we find the main spinal cord, which comes directly from the brain and continues in the neural canal behind the vertebrae. The cartilage can slide on one side with one pressure on a nerve, or it can slide in the middle and put pressure on the main spinal cord.
