Video Transcript

"I wanted to show you how the nerves come out of the neck and come down your arms. Individuals that have pinching of the nerves in their neck from their disc may have symptoms relating to their arm, or to their forearm, to their fingers in different patterns. And these patterns, when you tell them to your health care provider, it will help them identify where your problem is in your neck or along the pathway. You'll also see you have nerves coming out around your back and along your ribcage. And your low back, you'll see where the discs are in between the vertebrate as they travel down your leg. Some individuals may have pain in their knee or the back of their leg, the front of their leg, numbness in their toes and they can map it back to where the problem originates from."
