Root C7 - TAGMED Clinical Guide
Focus Racine C7

Pain in the middle finger or triceps?
Do not confuse this with a local problem.

The C7 nerve root is often called "False Tennis Elbow." Discover how cervical compression can mimic elbow inflammation or arm weakness.

The Erroneous Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis C7

""Pain in the elbow or posterior arm that does not respond to shock waves or local injections almost always indicates a C7 origin.""

Racine C7: The Fake 'Tennis Elbow''

Key Sensory Zone

Middle finger, hind arm and triceps.

The Imposter (Common Confusion)
  • Refractory epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
  • Triceps tendinitis
The Index (Diagnosis)

Elbow extension test:

Difficulty pushing against resistance (triceps weakness) or an arm that seems to "give way" during exertion indicates that the C7 signal is altered.

The Domino Effect on the Triceps & Elbow

""Treating the symptom without restoring the electrical current (neck) is like changing the light bulb when the circuit breaker has tripped.""

The C7 cascade of destruction:

1

Compression of the C7 root (C6-C7)

2

Loss of triceps tone

3

compensatory overload on the posterior elbow

4

Locally refractory pathology misdiagnosed

The Global Solution

To achieve a lasting cure for "False Tennis Elbow," it is essential to release the cervical nerve root. Decompression helps restore the electrical impulses necessary for arm strength.

Cervical C7 Decompression

Do not treat the symptom.
Address the root cause.

Failure of local treatments (Tennis Elbow, Triceps)
Specialized evaluation of the C7 root
Restoring strength and signal
