Clinical Reasoning in Cervical vs Peripheral Neuropathies

I’m Andy Coombs, and in this session I’ll guide you through the process of differentiating cervical radiculopathy from peripheral nerve neuropathies of the radial, median, and ulnar nerves.

I’ll explore:

     ▪︎ How to decide if symptoms are truly neuropathic

     ▪︎ Key differences between radicular and peripheral presentations

     ▪︎ The role of clinical reasoning, special tests, and neuro-dynamic assessments

     ▪︎ Real case examples that highlight the challenges of accurate diagnosis

By the end, you’ll have practical strategies and tools to apply clear, structured reasoning in distinguishing these often-overlapping conditions.
