Where Is The C5-C6 Located?The C5-C6 motion segment is located in the lower neck at the junction where the top of the shoulders meets the neck. It consists of the two vertebrates, the C5-C6, connecting to each other through four facet joints, several ligaments, and the spinal disc. The primary function of the C5-C6 segment of the neck is to protect the spinal cord at C5-C6, provide flexibility, and support the weight of the head and neck. In many ways, the C5-C6 is the workhorse of the neck. What Caused My C5-C6 Neck Pain?Some experience C5-C6 neck pain as a fleeting problem, but neck pain is a life-altering event for many. C5-C6 neck pain can range from mild discomfort or ache to severe and disabling pain. The most important thing to know is that C5-C6 nack pain is progressive. In other words, today’s mild aches and pains become the severe and disabling pains of tomorrow. Therefore, it behooves us not to heed the warning! As such, fix mild C5-C6 issues before they worsen. For the C5-C6 motion segment to work well, its ligaments, muscles, joints, spinal discs, the two exiting C6 spinal nerves, or spinal cord must be at or near-normal levels of function. C5-C6 pain results when the neck structures are stressed, injured, worn out, or degenerated. Sports injuries, automobile accidents (whiplash injuries), tech neck, poor posture, scoliosis, or activities stress the C5-C6 joints, nerves, spinal cord, of soft tissues.

What Are The Best & Most Effective Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Treatment For The C5-C6?The best treatment for a C5-C6 slipped discs, facet, muscle, or ligament issue is a combination of chiropractic with physiotherapy.

The C5-C6 Motion SegmentThe C5 and C6 vertebrae are interconnected in the front and back:
C5-C6 is the neck’s workhorse because of the location and sheer size of the C5-C6 spinal disc. INcreased stress or strain of the interconnecting parts (ligaments, disc, or joints) of the C5-C6 results in degenerative and arthritic changes, causing various symptoms. C5-C6 Motion Segment Is The Most Crucial Neck SegmentC5-C6 and C4-C5 have long been touted as the two most mobile spinal segments in the neck. In addition to being the two most mobile segments, they are the two most stressed spinal motions segments in the cervical spine. There is no doubt about their critical role when it comes to the stability of the neck and upper back. Due to their location and the amount of stress it carries daily, the C5-C6 and the C4-C5 are also the most common sites for degenerative arthritis, disc bulge, and disc herniation. C5-C6 is the more mobile motion segment than the C4-C5, making it the most common source of neck pain. So, the stiffness, discomfort, or aches you feel from time to time could be due to a problem caused by the stresses placed on the C5-C6 motion segment. To understand the importance of the C5-C6 disc, all we need to do is look at the spinal disc between the C5 and C6. The interverbal disc height in the mid and lower cervical levels at C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7 were clinically assessed and reported in a published research study in the Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (a publication of the Association of Bone and Joint surgeons), with the following observations:

We have listed the common symptoms of a C5-C6 disc bulge or herniation (slip disk or slipped disc) below:
What Are The Common Cause Of A C5-C6 Related Neck Pain?The C5-C6 motion segment is the most mobile segment in the neck, making it one of the most common sites in developing neck problems, including aches, pains, numbness, tingling, and weakness.

The Cervical Spinal DiscsThe spinal discs are rubbery pads or cushions between the neck’s bones. There are six spinal discs in the neck (cervical discs). The only segment in the neck that does not have a spinal disc separating it is the C1 (first cervical or neck segment) and the second cervical segment (C2). Each cervical disc is named by attaching or corresponding segment. For example, the disc attached to the 5th and 6th bones on the neck is marked as the C5-C6 discs. Cervical discs provide several essential functions:
Joints Of The Neck Are Medical Known As Cervical Facet JointsThe Cervical spine is a collection of seven vertebrates that are connected through 3 types of joints:
How Do Spinal Discs & Joints Get Damaged?Increased stress on the C5-C6 motion segment can lead to painful and symptomatic spinal disc or spinal joints issues. joint and spinal disc issues arise from excessive loadbearing activities, poor posture, or injuries resulting in inflamed joints or spinal discs. Repeated or continued stress on the C5-C6 motion segment is a leading cause of spinal disc degeneration, degeneration of facet joints, and facet arthropathy. Cervical arthropathy and facet syndrome are often present with a disc bulge or herniation. Cervical spondylosis is a relatively common team for cervical arthropathy in the presence of a disc bulge, protrusion, or a C5-C6 disc herniation. A bulging or herniated C5-C6 spinal disc can have far-reaching consequences, causing pain symptoms, paresthesia (numbness & tingling), weakness, and paralysis from the lower neck down to the toes! In addition, C5-C6 may also cause aches and pains in the upper neck and even be a contributing factor in headaches (according to a published report in the British Journal of Medial Probationers).

Steroid injections can permanently damage the cervical facet cartilage, facet joints, and fact ligaments. Moreover, it can lead to rapid bone loss in vertebrae, and degenerative changes in neck muscles, ligaments, and spinal discs. The authors of a published study in the journal of Radiology studied and reported their findings on corticosteroid injections in muscles, ligaments, cartilage, joints, and bones found irreparable damage, including bone death and osteoporosis as a result of steroid injections.
