  2. Cervical spinal nerve 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_6

    The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 6 (C6). The C6 nerve root shares a common branch from C5, and has a role in innervating many muscles of the rotator cuff and distal arm, [2] including: Subclavius; Supraspinatus; Infraspinatus ...

  3. Suprascapular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprascapular_nerve

    The suprascapular nerve is a mixed (sensory and motor) nerve that branches from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus. It is derived from the ventral rami of cervical nerves C5-C6. It provides motor innervation to the supraspinatus muscle , and the infraspinatus muscle .

  4. Cervical spinal nerve 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_5

    The cervical spinal nerve 5 (C5) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1]It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 5 (C5). It contributes to the phrenic nerve, long thoracic nerve, and dorsal scapular nerve before joining cervical spinal nerve 6 to form the upper trunk, a trunk of the brachial plexus, which then forms the lateral cord, and finally the ...

  5. Disc herniation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_herniation

    Herniated disc at C6–C7 level. Cervical disc herniations occur in the neck, most often between the fifth and sixth (C5–6) and the sixth and seventh (C6–7) cervical vertebral bodies. There is an increased susceptibility amongst older (60+) patients to herniations higher in the neck, especially at C3–4. [23]

  6. Radiculopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiculopathy

    For example, a nerve root impingement in the neck can produce pain and weakness in the forearm. Likewise, an impingement in the lower back or lumbar-sacral spine can be manifested with symptoms in the foot. The radicular pain that results from a radiculopathy should not be confused with referred pain, which is different both in mechanism and ...

  7. Upper trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_trunk

    It is formed by joining of the ventral rami of the fifth (C5) and sixth (C6) cervical nerves. The upper trunk divides into an anterior and posterior division. The branches of the upper trunk from proximal to distal are: subclavian nerve (C5-C6) suprascapular nerve (C5-C6) anterior division of upper trunk (C5-C6, forms part of lateral cord)

  8. Cervicocranial syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervicocranial_syndrome

    Cervical spinal nerve C7 controls triceps and wrist extension. Cervical spinal nerve C8 helps control the hand. [18] The cervicocranial syndrome occurs when symptoms arise due to cervical vertebrae damage (misalignment, collapse, shift or disease, such as tumor) resulting in the improper functioning of the cervical spinal nerves.

  9. Middle cervical ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cervical_ganglion

    The middle cervical ganglion is the smallest of the three cervical sympathetic ganglia (i.e. of the cervical portion of the sympathetic trunk). [1] It presumably represents the merging of the sympathetic ganglia of cervical segments C5C6. It is usually situated at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra.
