Cervical 5-6 intervertebral disc bulge may cause neck stiffness, dizziness, numbness of upper limbs and other clinical symptoms.
1. Soreness and stiffness in the neck: Long-term head-down work, sedentary and other factors will lead to the nucleus pulposus structure of the cervical intervertebral disc bulging out to the annulus fibrosus, which will compress the soft tissues around the intervertebral discs, resulting in insufficient circulation of the tissues and muscular tension, which will lead to soreness and stiffness in the neck.
2. Dizziness: When the cervical 5-6 intervertebral disc bulges, it will also compress the vertebral artery around the intervertebral disc, causing insufficient blood circulation in the vertebral artery, which will lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, thus causing the symptom of dizziness.
3. Numbness of the upper limbs: when the bulging disc compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots, it will lead to abnormal nerve sensation in the upper limbs, resulting in numbness and other symptoms.
When cervical 5-6 intervertebral disc bulge related symptoms, we should go to the hospital in time for treatment.
