Find a PractitionerThe C6-C7 segment is located at the base of the cervical spine and is the most common area for cervical disc herniation and nerve compression. Problems at C6-C7 often cause neck pain that radiates into the arms, tingling in the fingers, and triceps weakness.
ELDOA exercises for C6-C7 are specifically designed to decompress this segment through axial elongation. The exercises use precise body positioning to create fascial tension that opens space between C6 and C7, helping relieve disc pressure, reduce nerve irritation, and alleviate arm tingling. Positions are held for 60 seconds.
