While conservative approaches for rehabilitation are ideal, some patients will not improve and surgery is still an option. [23] Patients with large cervical disk bulges may be recommended for surgery; however, most often, conservative management will help the herniation regress naturally. [24]
Herniated disc at C6–C7 level. Cervical disc herniations occur in the neck, most often between the fifth and sixth (C5–6) and the sixth and seventh (C6–7) cervical vertebral bodies. There is an increased susceptibility amongst older (60+) patients to herniations higher in the neck, especially at C3–4. [23]

Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
Treatment is usually for neck or low back pain and related disorders. [ 45 ] For acute low back pain, low quality evidence has suggested no difference between real and sham spine manipulation, [ 46 ] and moderate quality evidence has suggested no difference between spine manipulation and other commonly used treatments, such as medication and ...
