Those positional tests help lean towards a possible dx, but 1 positive test alone doesn't prove it. They probably should do more of the positional tests as shown on this site -

As well as as taking a full history of your symptoms and any previous injuries, then decide if more in depth scans or tests are needed.
But many other things, like C spine injury, need to be ruled out & you can have multiple issues also, and that confuses the picture.
Have they done any Imaging/MRI yet ? sorry if I missed that .
