The C6 vertebra is basically the overachieving middle child of your neck - quietly doing a ton of work while rarely getting the credit.
Located just above C7 (the big bump you can feel) and below C5, C6 helps; support your head, protect your spinal cord, and keep your neck moving smoothly in all directions. It also plays a huge role in the C6 nerve root, which powers muscles like your wrist extensors. So every time you text 📱, wave 👋, or dramatically flip your hair 💅, you can thank C6 for showing up to work 🤣
When irritated, though, it can send pain, tingling, or numbness down the arm so be sure to call in today at 614-319-3327 to get on the schedule for an adjustment and getting it moving just right again!
