A herniated disc in the neck is called a cervical disc herniation and can cause neck pain, arm pain and upper back pain. Cervical herniated discs can be caused by heavy lifting, injuries and other conditions.
Often, people visit a spine specialist for back pain or neck pain and unknowingly have a herniated disc. A herniated disc in the neck is called a cervical disc herniation and can cause neck pain, arm pain and upper back pain. Cervical herniated discs affect the vertebrae and the spinal discs, which provide support and flexibility to your neck.
Cervical herniated discs occur when the inner part of the discs in your neck are pushed out through a tear in the outer layer of the disc. This herniated disc puts pressure on the nerves in your neck and can cause upper back pain, neck pain, and arm pain.
At The Spine & Rehab Group, our herniated disc doctors are highly experienced in diagnosing cervical herniated discs and treating herniated disc pain using non-surgical treatment methods. Click here to schedule an appointment online or call us at 973-400-1716.
Cervical herniation disc in the cervical spine is usually the result of intervertebral disc degeneration. This degeneration can manifest gradually over a long period of time due to regular wear and tear associated with aging. In addition, traumatic events such as falls or strains, trauma to the cervical spine from a car accident, sports injuries and overuse can contribute to the development of cervical disc herniation.
Patients with cervical spinal herniation (disc herniation in the neck) usually have symptoms in several areas, including the upper back, neck, shoulders, arms and hands.
These symptoms include:
Amr Hosny, MD, MBA, FASA
David Chu, MD, FAAPMR
Vivek Mehta, MD, FAAPMR
Deepali Gupta, MD, DABA, DABPM

Sienna G. ★★★★★You’re in great hands with this practice and their team of doctors and nurses. Ive been suffering from extreme lower back pain which basically was not allowing me to walk. I first met with Dr. Chu who listened to my aliments and understood the amount of pain I was in, and was extremely thorough in helping me understand the source of these pain-issues which the MRI revealed to be 2 herniated disc. He then recommended I get an epidural shot in my lower back and recommend Dr. Menta. I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Menta and his team, Dr. Gupta, Nurse Rozina and Nurse Olivia. Naturally was a bit nervous to get the shot but this team goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed while walking you through the procedure from start to finish. Overall a great experience with Dr. Chu, Dr. Menta and this whole team! Highly recommend if suffering from any back pain or other pain conditions!
