Puede llevar a un dolor cr\u00f3nico en el cuello. Los s\u00edntomas incluyen rigidez, dolores de cabeza, mareos y p\u00e9rdida de memoria. Los discos cervicales herniados, tambi\u00e9n conocidos como \"discos deslizados\", ocurren cuando un movimiento repentino empuja un disco espinal entre las v\u00e9rtebras. Esto puede resultar en da\u00f1o nervioso y dolor cr\u00f3nico. La espondilosis cervical, o \"artritis cervical\", puede causar un dolor severo en las v\u00edctimas de accidentes.
