Esophageal dysmotility and cervical neck injury can be connected, particularly if the injury affects the nerves or muscles involved in swallowing. Cervical spine injuries may lead to impaired motor function or nerve damage, which can disrupt the normal coordination required for esophageal movement. Additionally, pain or discomfort in the neck can affect swallowing mechanics, potentially leading to dysmotility symptoms. However, further evaluation is necessary to establish a direct link in individual cases.

Yes, you may still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury.
Cervical radiculitius can be caused by a neck injury but, is not always associated with one. It is caused by an impact to the neck OR repeated bending of the neck. I have it and all of a sudden I woke up with my neck sideways and extreme nerve pain in my right arm. Hope this helps.
Esophageal nodules are not common. They may be caused by various conditions such as inflammation, infection, or injury to the esophagus. If you are experiencing symptoms related to esophageal nodules, it is important to seek medical advice for proper evaluation and treatment.

Justin's spinal injury was to his cervical spinal cord resulting in Tetraplegia.
A C2 spinal cord injury is an injury to the 2nd spinal segment in the cervical section of the spinal cord.
The most common cause of cervical spine injury is a motor vehicle accident. Other possible causes are falls, sports, or penetrations such as stabbing or gunshots.

A cervical injury can damage the spinal cord, leading to paralysis, loss of sensation, and potential loss of function in the arms, legs, and other parts of the body below the injury site. Severe cervical injuries can also affect breathing and other essential bodily functions. Prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize long-term complications and improve prognosis.
Thank you for your question. My answer is "No." However, an injury to the cervical spinal nerves or those even lower, like an injury to the axillary (armpit) nerves or those in the elbow region can cause the symptoms of a pinched nerve with pain in the wrist. Pain would be located at the nerve injury or down the limb from the injured nerve. The only way a wrist injury could possibly cause a pinched nerve to your cervical region is if your wrist injury caused you to hold your wrist in a position that would strain your neck and pinch the nerves there. Very difficult to do.
