C6 Cervical Nerve Root Compression Evaluation

I can tell by the look in this lady's face she has had the pain for a long time. It's similar to the way I'm feeling after 6yrs of pain due to C6 nerve compression! It's actually soul destroying!

Excellent demonstration! Someone was definitely paying attention during studies.

Excellent content.

I have seen I would say 10 seperate specialists, ED doctors, surgeons etc for my multiple fractures of my thoracic spine and multiple herniated discs in my cervical spine and had 2 spinal fusions. Only once did I have a proper assessment like this after suffering from a suspected TIA by a student Dr. Not one other dr has gone into this amount of depth in any assessments, the worst was a neurologist, who didn’t even write a follow up letter to me after paying 500 dollars or a consult. During the exam I couldn’t even walk in a straight line and my balance was terrible! I am in so much pain. My kyphosis in my thoracic spine is currently at 89 degrees and lordosis in my lumber and cervical spine are way off too! I’m so sick of health professionals not doing there job properly. Well done to this doctor who takes his job seriously and obviously cares about what he does and knows what he is doing. Thank you for the video. :)

Thank you sir

Really enjoying the way you are describing what you are doing, how you are examining your patient. Really a must see for any medical student, physio, orthopedic surgeon, general surgeon, GPs, etc... Very few people are actually so talented to present a neurological examination " that makes sense". Thank you so much

Great video, I'm wondering if she ended up needing surgery or not? Hope she is OK now!

Amazing 👏❤

Can I ask what treatments do you prescribe?

I noticed you asked about ringing in the ears. I have cervical rad, and C6-C7 disc disease, paresthesia in right arm, index, middle finger and actually on my face a little too. I only had an XRay. MRI's in a week. I developed Tinnitus in 1 ear about a month ago. Can the Tinnitus be related cervically?

Awesome. I love how you checked the reflexes which I don't see many do. Also how you first ruled out the red flags. I suppose we need not do VBI test if the red flags are ruled out. Should we?

i have been having this problem for 1.5 year..i want to know the best exercises for this disese

Hello diagnosis with this. By taking the medication will it work?? An is this a permanent illness? Thanks

Can I be a patient for a video? I live all the way nears Philly tho. I'm all jacked up I'd be a great pts from cervical to lumbar..

I have C5/C6 foraminal stenosis or narrowing and I have pain in my shoulders when I sleep/lay down on my back is that only from a herniated disc or could it also be with foraminal narrowing (DDD)? That is why I am here, you show "C6 Nerve Compression" at the top left in green in the early part of the video?

You are so good ... I love your videos A PT student !
