Activities That Will Aggravate a Herniated Cervical Disc

A herniated cervical disc can cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness that can begin in the neck and radiate into the arms and hands.

Conservative treatments are usually first line of treatment for slip disc. To aid in recovery, one should avoid certain activities.
