Discal hernia Herniated disk where material from the disk pushes through the outer lining of the disk. Can be caused by degeneration, or trauma.  Located between each vertebrae (bone) in the neck is a piece of gelatinous material called the cervical disc.The shock absorbers of your back are the discs, which lie between each of the 24 vertebrae that make up the spine. These discs are  filled with a gelatin-like substance that gives the spinal column flexibility. The disc or material may  become moved out of the normal axis and material (nerves...) may get compressed causing a herniated disc, ruptured disc,or prolapsed disc. Depending where the problem occurs determines the effect on the body.
