A right paracentral C5-C6 disk herniation refers to a condition where the intervertebral disk between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae in the neck has bulged or ruptured, pushing into the spinal canal or nerve pathways on the right side. This can potentially compress nearby nerve roots, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. The term "paracentral" indicates that the herniation is located towards the center of the canal but slightly off to the right. Treatment may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and can include physical therapy, medication, or surgery.

What is cervical spondylosis with paracentral disk protrusion?
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine involving wear and tear on the cervical vertebrae and discs. Paracentral disk protrusion refers to an abnormal bulging of an intervertebral disk towards one side of the spinal canal, potentially compressing nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord in the cervical region, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, and weakness.
