Abstract
The patient was a 38-year-old male referred to physical therapy with complaints of right lower extremity radicular pain and left lower extremity weakness. Following physical therapy examination, the primary care physician referred the patient to a neurologist, who performed electromyography and nerve conduction studies and ordered a magnetic resonance image. Cervical spine imaging revealed a C5-6 disc extrusion with myelopathy. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2017;47(7):510. doi:10.2519/jospt.2017.5071.
