Cervical Radicular (nerve root/dorsal root ganglion/spinal nerve) referred pain and movement pattern

 

 

 

 

 

go to: Psychometric analysis

 

 

In this example the palpation and treatment technique is a sustained passive physiological movement (PPIVM) of rotation to the right.  This technique respects spasm and uses the normalisation of signs and symptoms to establish efficacy and hence 'face validity' of the treatment chosen.  Biomechanics suggest some 'opening' of the intervertebral foramen on the left. Neurophysiology suggests that this leads to 'unloading' of the intraforaminal structures (eg nerve root/DRG/spinal and sinuvertebral nerves, blood vessels).
