A member asked:
How common is it to herniate the c3/c4 disc and the c7-t1. are either particularly a dangerous place to herniate and why ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ortho question: c3-4 is not as common as c8-t1 for herniation, both are dangerous due to the function lost by severe herniation, for example, a c3-4 herniation could leave a person without diaphragm function and ventilator dependent
