Neck Pain. The cervical disc acts as a shock absorber between the bones in the neck. The normal gel-like shock absorbing center of the disc dehydrates gradually, and as this happens the space between the vertebral bodies collapses. This causes the disc space to narrow, and as a result added stress is applied to the facet joints of the spine. This causes neck pain as a result of further wear and tear. With time this leads to cervical arthritis, and degenerative disease.
