Cervical Spinal Degeneration

Cervical Spinal Degeneration Treatment With Your Midtown New York Chiropractor

Cervical spinal degeneration is the bones, discs, muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck wearing down. It contains the spinal cord that sends messages from the brain and allows you to move in all directions. Due to the fact that it is a delicate your cervical spine is at risk for developing a number of medical conditions. Often the cause of the pain is from damage or wear on the discs in the neck. These discs are gel like and often wear due to aging and cannot be repaired by the body.
