A member asked:

What could cervical disk herniation aggravate into? can the neck break or something?how to slow wear and tear after diagnosis.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck can't break,but: Your neck can;t break,but you could get articular nerve pain, numbness and tingling at that level. You should make sure you have a proper head rest in your car. and if you swim don't dive. A physical therapist can instruct you in gentle strengthening exercises and activities to avoid.
