Cervical Spine Herniated Disk

This patient complained of chronic neck pain. The MRI scan reveals multiple disk herniations, the largest one at the C6-C7 level (the most inferior herniation). Disk herniations can cause neck pain, headache, and pain/numbness/tingling in the arms and shoulders. MRI is an excellent way to look for disk herniations and other problems that can occur in the cervical spine.
