Cervical Disk Implants
Cervical disks in the neck are subject to wear and tear just like any other joints in the body. Five different types of disk problems are commonly found in older adults. They are disk thinning, disk degeneration, disk bulging, disk herniation, and disk degeneration with bone spur formation. The bone spurs form from the body’s attempt to stop motion of the vertebrae (joints in the spine). These processes often cause narrowing of the canal of the spinal cord and cause pain because of cramping of the nerve roots that reside in the canal.
