When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 6): Differential Diagnosis
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

It is becoming the kind of clinician (and building the kind of professional relationship) that makes collaboration easy and sustainable.
