Thumb or elbow pain?
This is the most common type of hernia.
The C6 nerve root is "The Most Frequent Culprit". Discover why your elbow pain or tingling in your hand persists despite topical treatments.
The "Fake" Tennis Elbow
""Treating the elbow laterally for epicondylitis without checking the C6 cervical nerve root is the main reason why the pain becomes chronic.""
The impact of the cervical nerves on the arm (C6)
Root C6: The Culprit #1
Thumb, index finger and lateral side of the forearm.
- Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
- thumb tendinitis / de Quervain's tenosynovitis
Wrist extension test:
A loss of strength when raising the wrist or tingling induced by this movement indicates pain in the C6 nerve root (often due to a C5-C6 herniated disc).
The "Double Crushing" of the Hand & Elbow
""An elbow that does not heal is often an elbow that is no longer properly supplied with electricity by the cervical nerve C6.""
The C6 Cascade of Destruction:
C5-C6 disc herniation or bulge
Weakening of the wrist extensors
Compensatory overload on the epicondyle (elbow)
Chronic Pain ""Tennis Elbow" that doesn't give way
The Global Solution
If the electrical signal is interrupted at the source (C6), no local treatment at the elbow will be lasting. Spinal decompression therapy allows this essential flow to be restored.
