Question 3

would a torn cervical disk ever heal on its own?

Accepted Answer

The disc will never be "original equipment" again but the symptoms CAN be resolved on their own.

what is cervical pain? how can its source be determined?

: If we are talking about your neck, and not the female uterine cervix, the method of evaluating pain there is to ask many questions about the pain (it’s history) and do a proper hands on evaluation (the examination).
