cervical disc herniation (Press reports):
A cervical disc herniation is a condition in which one of the cartilage discs between the vertebrae in the neck ruptures or slips. These discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, absorbing shock and allowing for smooth movement. When a disc slips, it can put pressure on nerves or the spinal cord, causing pain and other symptoms.
Spinal infections (Press reports):
Spinal infections are rare but serious conditions that can affect the bones, discs, or tissues surrounding the spine. These infections are usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection that may reach the spine through the blood or spread from a nearby infected area.
spinal fractures (Press reports):
Spinal fractures are injuries that occur when a vertebra is damaged or broken. These fractures can be the result of acute injuries such as accidents or falls, or they can be the result of chronic medical conditions such as osteoporosis. The severity and treatment of the fracture depend on the location and severity of the fracture and its impact on the nerves and spinal cord.
