Neck Disc Bulge/Herniation Rehab Exercises

Today’s video covers rehab exercises that can be done at home to help heal a disc bulge in the neck or cervical region. The neck or cervical spine includes seven vertebrae that are separated by six fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs. The discs act as shock absorbers and also function as passive stabilizers of the spinal motion segment (2 vertebrae and the disc between them). A cervical disc herniation describes a situation where the inside of the disc (nucleus pulposus) ruptures through the outer wall of the disc. In some of these situations, neck and radiating arm pain, numbness, tingling and weakness can result. It’s also extremely important to know that disc ‘injuries’ are often observed in asymptomatic (no pain) individuals and do not necessarily say much about whether someone will experience pain in the future. Also, disc herniations can get better with conservative care, so make sure to try rehab before jumping into surgery. With all of that being said, I have several exercises demonstrated here that often help reduce pain and improve function in people with neck pain that is thought to be associated with a disc herniation. These types of exercises were shown to be effective in a case series cited below, but it’s important to note that they also used traction and manual therapy. *My new book contains comprehensive rehab programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues, including one for disc herniations in the neck.
