History and physical examination is the cornerstone in the appropriate diagnosis
and treatment of any patient. A comprehensive physical examination is necessary
to aid in determining distributions of symptoms and to lead one to the site of
pathology. The aim of this article is to aid the clinician in distinguishing
radiculopathy from other causes of neck and low back pain. Physical examination
of the patient with suspected radiculopathy needs to be thorough and complete to
make the most accurate diagnosis. Thorough knowledge of the evidence-based
literature is beneficial in maximizing patient care, particularly in the light of
health care reform.
