Cervical Nerve Pinch

The cervical spine is comprised of 7 bony segments besides there are cartilage paddings with the gel-like center between the bony segments called spinal discs. The disks themselves act as shock absorbers and stabilizers of the spine and allow for fluid joint movement. The most likely cause of a pinched nerve is, due to a disk herniation or the outward bulging of the gel-like material from the disk. Herniation Commonly is the result of traumatic accidents such as a whiplash injury from an auto accident or the slow degeneration of the disc from cervical degenerative disc disease. Herniation will bulge out and finally make contact with the spinal nerves usually on the most damaged part of the disk this is why it is common to have one-sided pain.
