It can lead to chronic neck pain. Symptoms include stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and memory loss. Herniated cervical discs, also known as \u201cslipped discs,\u201d occur when sudden movement pushes a spinal disc between vertebrae. This can result in nerve damage and chronic pain.\u00a0Cervical spondylosis, or \u201cneck arthritis,\u201d can cause severe pain for accident victims.
