What is shallow non-compressive disc protrusion in the c6?

A shallow non-compressive disc protrusion at the C6 vertebra refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc between the cervical vertebrae C5 and C6 bulges outward without compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots. This type of protrusion typically occurs due to degeneration or injury and may lead to localized pain or discomfort, but often does not cause significant neurological symptoms. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications, depending on the severity of symptoms.
