The evaluation uses a combination of functional testing and orthopedic maneuvers, combined with symptom analysis, to determine which spinal level is involved and what is compressing the nerve. Dr. Bronstein correlates the patient's reported symptoms with the clinical findings to build a precise picture of the problem.
When imaging is needed to confirm disc involvement or rule out other pathology, referrals are made. Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic does not begin pinched nerve treatment without confidence in the diagnosis.
