Spinal Nerve Chart
The spinal nerve chart is an important tool that shows how the network of nerves relay messages to the rest of the body.
For instance it shows how the C2 nerve root can affect the your eyes, ears, sinuses, tongue, and forehead. Common warning sides that your C2 may be damaged are sinusitis, ear aches, pain around your eyes, vision problems, and/or hearing problems. An MRI will show Dr. Sturm what the best option is to make your life easier.
