If the seventh cervical nerve root is compressed, it can cause numbness in the index, middle, and ring fingers. If the eighth cervical nerve root is compressed, it can cause numbness in the pinky finger. In severe cases, it can even lead to muscle atrophy in the hand and the inability to grip things.
