Diagnosis & Treatment of Upper Extremity Neuropathies

It is not always easy to identify every structure that causes upper extremity pain.

Take away evidence.-Assessment and treatment strategies for disorders based on the diagnosis of the Upper extremity, starting at the To support the cervical spine the hand. To decipher whether entrapment neuropathies are at play, you’ll learn about and gain hands-Use our experience to learn more the Upper Limb Neurodynamic Testing (ULNT), and Scratch Collapse Test in the lab. There are also 4 methods to detect central sensitization, and 5 other evidence options.-Based approaches to calm the nervous system. Mirror therapy, graded Motor Imagery, nerve and Myofascial Gliding, and Muscle Reprogramming are all methods to help the nervous system.-Education can help clients overcome debilitating pain, improve their functionality and quality. of life.
