Diagnosing radiculopathy can be done with a variety of orthopedic, neurological, and imaging procedures. Orthopedic tests reproduce the symptoms by increasing pressure or stress on the affected nerves. You might see documentation with names like "Straight Leg Raiser,” "Braggard's,” "Lasegue's," and "Bechterew's."

cervical spineThe C6 and C7 cervical vertebrae (and the C8 spinal nerve) form the lowest levels of the cervical spine and directly impact the arm and hand muscles. The locations of C6 and C7 vertebrae are both in the lowest levels of the cervical spine, near the base of the neck.
The C5-C6 spinal motion segment (located in the lower cervical spine just above the C7 vertebra) provides flexibility and support to much of the neck and the head above.
The C6 C7 spinal motion segment is located in the lower part of the cervical spine and consists of the C6 and C7 vertebrae, and the anatomical structures connecting them. This segment helps provide neck flexibility, supports the cervical spine and head, and protects the spinal cord and nerve pathways.
Cervical radiculopathy is the damage or disturbance of nerve function. It usually occurs if one of the nerve roots near the cervical vertebrae is compressed. Damage to nerve roots in the cervical area can cause pain and the loss of sensation along the nerve's pathway into the arm and hand, depending on where the damaged roots are located.
The symptoms are often self-limited and resolve spontaneously without specific treatment. Symptom length is variable. Following are some symptoms which indicate that you might have Cervical Radiculopathy, such as :
