Neck Pain Evaluation Tips (C7 nerve root)

Today, I demonstrate a neck evaluation and show you the process I go through from start to end. Find a process that works for you and stick with it. This video was shortened slightly since there are no other medical conditions to be concerned with.

Signs and Symptoms
▶ Radiating pain and "tingling" from the neck to the scapula (shoulder blade)
▶ Loss of triceps deep tendon reflex.
▶ Positive Bakody sign.
▶ Positive Spurling's test.
▶ Positive Marquis Maneuver

Nicely explained.
It's really easy to understand when you tell nerves names while performing tests.

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

Great vid, wish I could see you for a few issues similar, take care

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 😢

[shortattentionspangarage]

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.

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.

Very useful evaluation. Thank you for your effort. Does the C-6 C-7 neck spine disc can cause chest muscles weakness ( right side ) ?

I like your assessment job. am DPT IN EAST AFRICA Ethiopia '

[gregoryroche]

With this presentation roughly how many visits would you consider utilizing before referral out if necessary (not improving with PT)?

[sebastianfrenzel]

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.

What type of doctor does this extended type of evaluation

[cathyharrell]

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.

[luckygreen]

You're so cool. I wanna be like you one day.
