To concentrate on the neck, many blood vessels and nerve fibres also pass the neck artery, blood flow to the brain exercise. Slightest offset to the cervical vertebrae nerve roots and blood vessels pressure therefore encourage. Because the cervical spinal canal, small dimension, there is always an opportunity narrowing, of the spinal cord. This is the main danger, can end-impaired.

During development, intervertebral hernia occurs in the third stage of training. Fourth, end-stage degenerative disc disease a person it's a very bad move, and it almost always feels severe pain. The reason for this is vertebral deformities to emerge as them, osteophytes (bone growth).
Cervical symptoms of degenerative disc disease
