Question
i have a degenerative disc in the c5-c6 and i am a body building player after a therapy treatment can i return back to the gym

Answer
Walid;

Degeneration is a continual decay of the vertebrae in the neck.  It is a sign of an ongoing issue, and should be looked at by a chiropractor.   If you were in Seattle, I'd say come here!

Degeneration should not preclude you from working out at all. I would recommend trying to get a curve into your neck, and I would avoid working out your neck, as it can make the decay accelerate.

Hope this answer helps!
