A herniated disc in the neck occurs when one of the discs in the cervical spine becomes damaged and presses on a nearby nerve. This can cause neck pain, shoulder pain, and nerve symptoms that travel down the arm. This condition is one of the most common causes of cervical radiculopathy and can lead to nerve pain in the neck and shoulder, neck nerve pain radiating down the arm, tingling in the arm from the neck, or numbness in the arm from the neck.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we provide herniated disc neck treatment in Langley focused on relieving pressure on the disc, reducing nerve irritation, and restoring proper neck movement. Many patients who visit Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab are experiencing a pinched nerve causing arm pain due to a herniated disc or slipped disc in the neck. We offer a variety of neck pain treatments in Langley.
Common symptoms include:
Many people search “why does my neck pain shoot down my arm” and discover that a herniated disc in the neck is causing cervical radiculopathy.
A herniated disc is usually caused by repeated stress on the neck over time.
Common causes include:
Over time, the disc can bulge or rupture, leading to a bulging disc, slipped disc in the neck, or trapped nerve in the neck, which may require pinched nerve treatment in Langley.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, a herniated disc in the neck is diagnosed through a detailed physical examination and neurological testing. We assess muscle strength, reflexes, sensation, and nerve tension to determine if a disc is pressing on a nerve. If needed, imaging such as an MRI may be recommended to confirm disc damage and cervical radiculopathy.

A herniated disc often causes a pinched nerve causing arm pain, which is why the two conditions are closely related.
Most herniated discs improve within 6–12 weeks with proper treatment, although more severe cases may take longer. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pressure on the nerve, and strengthening the neck to prevent recurrence.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we create personalized treatment plans to help patients recover as quickly as possible.
Most herniated discs do not require surgery. Conservative treatment such as chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and spinal decompression is usually recommended first.
