The cervical spine begins at the base of the skull and extends to the chest. Seven vertebrae make up the cervical spine with eight pairs of cervical nerves. The individual cervical vertebrae are abbreviated C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 and C7.
The cervical spine contains and protects the spinal cord, supports the skull, and enables head movement (e.g., rotation from side to side, bending forwards and backwards).
A complex system of ligaments, tendons, and muscles help to support and stabilize the cervical spine. Ligaments work to prevent excessive movement that could result in serious injury. However, these ligaments can be overstretched and tear from prolonged poor posture and/or injury. The ligaments are a common cause of neck pain and I will explain how to remove this cause of neck pain completely from your life in article regarding neck pain and posture. Muscles also help to provide spinal balance and stability, and enable movement. Muscles contract and relax in response to nerve impulses originating in the brain…
Nerve impulses travel to and from the brain through the spinal cord by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is a complex system of nerves that branch off from the spinal nerve roots. These nerves travel outside of the spinal canal or spinal cord into the organs, arms, legs, fingers – throughout the entire body.
Pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling are symptoms that may develop when one or more spinal nerves are aggravated, pinched or injured. Most commonly these symptoms will be felt in the arms, shoulders, and or hands. The neck pain exercises are designed to remove these symptoms from these areas by taking the pressure off these nerves.
