What nerves are affected by C3 C4 C5 C6 C7?

What nerves are affected by C3 C4 C5 C6 C7?

C5, as mentioned earlier, along with C3 and C4, contributes to the phrenic nerve that innervates the diaphragm. Roots C5, C6, and C7 produce the long thoracic nerve, responsible for controlling the serratus anterior.

What does the C2 vertebra control?

The C1 vertebrae is named atlas and the C2 vertebrae is named axis. As well as protecting the spinal cord, these vertebrae are primarily responsible for facilitating and controlling the large range of movement that your neck has, and supporting the considerable weight of your skull at the tip of your spine.

Which part of the spine is most vulnerable and susceptible to injury?

The most vulnerable areas of the spine are the lumbar (lower back), and the cervical (neck) regions. They are the most mobile, and susceptible to injury. The lower back is also the main weight bearing part of the spine.

What does the T5 vertebrae control?

The T5 vertebra is centrally located to protect the nerves that feed constant neurons to the liver, as well as the nerve bundles that affect the release of hormones, your metabolism, glucose production, insulin, and other regions.

What nerves do C6/C7 affect?

The C6-C7 disc is 6th cervical disc near the lower part of the neck, near the top of the shoulders. The nerve root that would be affected by the C6-C7 disc herniation controls the arms, the shoulders, the heart, the lungs, and more.

What does C1 and C2 do?

The C1 and C2 vertebrae function together to give your head flexibility. With the atlas and axis relationship, you are able to swivel and rotate your head, as well as support your head. These two vertebrae are more responsible for the head’s rotational range of motion than from any other joint.

Which spine is most susceptible to injury?

The lumbar spine contains 5 vertebral bones that form a lordotic curve (same as the cervical spine) and run through the lower back. The lumbar spine is more mobile than the thoracic spine yet also carries more weight, making it the most likely region of the spine to become injured and painful.

Which area of the spine is most susceptible to aquatic spinal injury?

Most aquatic spinal injuries occur in the area of the neck due to the bending of the neck on impact (flexion). Permanent spinal damage can occur if too much pressure is placed on the spinal cord contained within the vertebrae.

What does T3 vertebra control?

Function of the T3 vertebra The T3 vertebra is a strong piece of bone that interlocks with the adjacent vertebrae to provide stability and support in the thoracic spine, while still allowing for a measure of flexibility.

Where does subluxation occur in the upper neck?

The most common (but not the only) level of subluxation that occurs in the spine is in the upper neck. This includes the articulations between the cranium (the occipital bone), the topmost vertebra in the spine (the atlas) and the second vertebra (the axis).

How to test for upper cervical subluxations?

Major Effects of Upper Cervical Subluxations. Scalene Maneuver (Adson’s Test) With the patient sitting, the doctor palpates the radial pulse and directs the patient to bend the head obliquely backward to the opposite side being examined, take a deep breath, and tighten the neck and chest muscles on the side tested.

Is it bad to have Atlas Subluxation on your teeth?

Most people have some degree of atlas subluxation just like they have some degree of plaque on their teeth. It’s nearly universal. It’s not desirable. And, like plaque, it causing problems when it goes uncorrected.

How is the correction of an Atlas subluxation done?

The correction of an atlas subluxation can be very gentle or it can require a small amount of force to overcome the resistance that the misaligned joints produce. In the case of infants and small children the correction is done with an exquisitely small amount of pressure.
