    i was injured BY a chiropractor who did two thrust manipulations of my C7/T1 (one in both direction) which left me with pain in that area (pain was not there before) and nerve tingling/pain down my arms into the 4th and 5th fingers
  • Nicely explained. It's really easy to understand when you tell nerves names while performing tests.
  • thank you for your excellent teaching demonstration video!!!!!!!!!!
  • I like your assessment .....good job. am DPT IN EAST AFRICA Ethiopia '
  • @Mjzzz11
    You would make a amazing CI
  • @blakeaustin8835
    The only issue I have with muscle test and retests is the increased facilitation on the second attempt. To confirm I would retest a third time again with the patient back in a neutral cervical position. What you will often find is similar findings of your 2nd test.
  • @steveayotte8908
    Great vid,wish I could see you for a few issues similar,take care
  • @dilkiayesha8975
    Can i get any advice for this C7 nurve root compression? My husband suffered with this pain still one year. We are fed up now . Can you give some treatment ideas please 😢
  • Why would the imaging be incorporated so much later in the process? I've got a C7 pinch right now based on these same symptoms and I pressed the VA to get me an MRI so my treatment plan is specific to my exact issue, not a speculation of causes.
  • Everything he feels I'm feeling expect my whole hand tingles not just my fingers. I need to get in with my dr cuz I do know I had a bad disc several yrs ago..I wonder if it's gotten worse.
  • @MrMohanadizaq
    Very useful evaluation. Thank you for your effort. Does the C-6 C-7 neck spine disc can cause chest muscles weakness ( right side ) ?
  • With this presentation roughly how many visits would you consider utilizing before referral out if necessary (not improving with PT)?
  • My anatomy textbooks are telling me that wrist extensors are supplied by C6-C8. But you are testing wrist extenors for C5....could you tell me the source of that information, please!? I have never heard that so far.
  • @tphelan86
    I had left side neck pain radiating down to my left hand now I have right side pain causing numbness and tingling in my right hand. Why did my cervical issues switch sides ?
  • @TheDjScotti
    What type of doctor does this extended type of evaluation
