Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
C5-C6 disc bulge and protrusion,can put pressure or compress the nerve roots which emerge from the vertebral foramina at that level.This can result in symptoms like pain,tingling or weakness in upper limbs.
Though,the headache can occur with this,still other common causes of headache like Stress headache(which commonly cause a pressure like feel in the head) needs to be ruled out.If you have any further question,I shall be glad to answer.

Hello Doctor,
What treatment would be required for the C5-C6 disc bulge condition?
I am already using a Cervical collar. Would any other medication or exercises help?
Also, I am doing YOGA everyday. Would this be beneficial or it is something which should not be practiced in this condition. Please let me know.
