Cervical radiculopathy
My mother has been diagnosed with C5 C6 cervical radiculopathy but she has pain in all the fingers except for the pinky finger. Can C5 C6 cause pain in middle and ring fingers ? From what I have read, it causes pain in the index finger and thumb only ?

There can always be some overlapping of nerve distribution segments. We should not treat a human body as a factory made car where no car will move forward if you put it in reverse gear.
Secondly treatment for radiculipathy will remain the same , whichever nerve segment the nerve roots are supplying.
