Cervical spinal nerves, also called cervical nerves, provide functional control and sensation to different parts of the body based on the spinal level where they branch out from the spinal cord. While innervation can vary from person to person, some common patterns include:
Cervical nerves C1, C2 and C3 control your forward, backward and side head and neck movements. The C2 nerve provides sensation to the upper area of your head; C3 gives sensation to the side of your face and back of your head.
Cervical nerves are spinal nerves that arise from the cervical region of the spinal cord. These nerves conduct motor and sensory information via efferent and afferent fibers, respectively, to and from the central nervous system.
Cervical radiculopathy (also known as “pinched nerve”) is a condition that results in radiating pain, weakness and/or numbness caused by compression of any of the nerve roots in your neck. Most cases of cervical radiculopathy go away with nonsurgical treatment.
Nerves roots of C1-C3: supply prevertebral muscles. The cervical plexus also contributes branches to these nerves: Dorsal scapular (C4,5): supplies the rhomboid major and minor, and levator scapulae muscles. Long thoracic (C5-7): supplies the serratus anterior muscle.
Cervical nerves. The cervical nerves consist of eight paired nerves that are a part of the peripheral nervous system. They emerge from the spinal cord through the seven cervical...
Cervical radiculopathy, often called a pinched nerve, is the damage or a change in the way a nerve works resulting from one of the nerve roots near the cervical vertebrae being compressed.
