Understanding C7 Nerve Root Compression

Trauma or poor posture

Symptoms of C7 Radiculopathy

Pain radiating from the neck down the back of the arm into the middle finger

Weakness in the triceps muscle

Decreased triceps reflex

Possible numbness or tingling in the middle finger

Symptoms typically follow the nerve’s pathway, so understanding the red area helps identify C7 involvement.

Early diagnosis and treatment (physical therapy, posture correction, anti-inflammatory measures) can prevent further nerve damage.
