The C6 nerve root gives rise to the musculocutaneous nerve, which innervates the muscles in the arm such as the biceps. The C7 nerve root gives rise to the median nerve, which innervates muscles in the forearm and hand as well as provides sensation to the palm and fingers.
Narrowing of the right C6-C7 intervertebral foramen refers to a condition where there is a reduction in the space through which the nerve roots pass as they exit the spinal cord at the C6-C7 level. This narrowing can lead to compression of the nerves, resulting in symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. Treatment may involve conservative measures like physical therapy, medication, or injections, while severe cases may require surgery to relieve the compression.
Vertebral artery passes through transverse formamina of C1-C6!
Osteoarthritis of the C5, C6, and C7 refers to degeneration of the cartilage and bone in the cervical (neck) vertebrae, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the neck. This condition can cause symptoms like neck pain, numbness or weakness in the arms, and headaches. Treatment options may include pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
The cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) are part of the spinal column and the spinal cord passes through them.
Damage to the C7 vertebrae could affect sensation and movement in the arms, hands, and fingers, as well as control of the muscles in the shoulder area. It could also potentially impact fine motor skills and grip strength in the hands. Additionally, damage to the C7 vertebrae may cause pain, weakness, or tingling in these areas.
what major nerves arise from the coccygeal plexus
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.
The C6 and C7 vertebrae are the lowest two vertebrae of the cervical (neck) portion of your spine. The C7 can typically be identified by feeling the spinous process (a bony protrudance) of C7 at the base of your neck where it intersects with your back and shoulders. The C6 vertebrae would be directly above it.
The C5, C6, and C7 refer to cervical vertebrae in the human spine, which are located in the neck region. Specifically, C5 is the 5th cervical vertebra, C6 is the 6th, and C7 is the 7th. These vertebrae provide support and mobility for the neck and are crucial for various nerve functions in the upper body.
C6 is the sixth generation(or body style) and z06 is just a package available on the c5, c6 and c7 corvette. Z06 is also wider, body panels are not the same!
A herniated disc
Narrowing of the right C6-C7 intervertebral foramen refers to a condition where there is a reduction in the space through which the nerve roots pass as they exit the spinal cord at the C6-C7 level. This narrowing can lead to compression of the nerves, resulting in symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. Treatment may involve conservative measures like physical therapy, medication, or injections, while severe cases may require surgery to relieve the compression.
This group of nerves innervates the muscles and skin of the entire upper limbs except the Trapezius muscle and the skin near the axilla (arm pit). The plexus comes off the spinal cord at C4,C5,C6,C7,C8 and T1 where they mix and form a plexus. There are 5 main nerves that are formed: Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median and ulnar nerves.
The second most common nerve root involvement occurs in brachial plexus nerves C5, C6, and C7, and symptoms, if these nerves are affected, can be referred to upper back, upper chest, ear, neck, and outer arm that follows a radial nerve distribution.
That means you have a slightly bulged disk (low in your neck--you originally had c6-c7 in the question) but it isn't pressing on any nerves.
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
what is a payout for having surgery and fusing c4,c5,c6,c7 and having permanant damage to right index finger.
