The most common symptom of cervical radiculopathy that we see in patients is an irritation or sensitivity in the neck area that may make it uncomfortable and/or difficult to move the neck in certain ways. Fortunately, at Limitless Physical Therapy, our physical therapists have the knowledge, experience, methods, and modalities necessary to treat cervical radiculopathy and help you recover from your neck pain. When you arrive for your initial appointment, you will undergo a physical examination in order to determine whether or not your pain is indeed a product of cervical radiculopathy. You may undergo certain diagnostic tests, including: >>>
• Positive Spurling’s A Test
• Cervical rotation of less than 60 degrees toward the affected side
• A positive median nerve neurodynamic test
While these tests may sound daunting, they are simply done by manipulating certain areas of the neck in order to determine the problem area in question. These tests will help our physical therapists determine whether or not you have cervical radiculopathy, and will also help them prescribe the necessary treatments to help you find relief.
