There are many place: Many places are potential nerve entrapment areas , but with disc degenerative disease in the neck it is the prime area. Prolotherapy can resolve the problem with out surgery or dangerous drugs. Visit www.Getprol.Com or www.Aaomed.Org for further info and to find a doctor. Yoga may make the current problem worse as it will stress the unstable areas in the neck and increase symptoms.
