Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management of Cervical Disc Herniation

The authors investigate the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of cervical disc herniation, a condition that can lead to a range of symptoms from mild neck pain to severe neurological deficits. They highlight the multifactorial risk factors involved and emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis through patient history and imaging. The paper concludes that while most cases respond well to nonsurgical treatments, surgical intervention is necessary for severe or persistent symptoms.
