You're right - if you need a firm dx for ins or a legal case, WC or if you have severe sx.
Basically also to rule in or out any other separate or combined conditions.


I should have mentioned - that a complete history and detailed reported symptoms is taken into consideration also.
Along with the complete thorough physical testing using all the provocative maneuvers & positions.

in my case-
1 dr did only 1 pulse check on 1 arm- got no comment from her either way - I didn't know much about the testing then either.
the other dr just sent me to his adv PT guy {below}

the 2 advanced PTs {at separate clinics} and my chiro did both arms and the head/ neck/ c spine testing and rechecked 3x with the same results each time.

My thinking is if more people with chronic RSI get checked early for TOS types of symptoms - that maybe the possible cases could get turned around before TOS becomes severe.
