Cervical Eval
- unilateral complaints - look for
- loss of cervical retraction and SB toward the involved side for mid/lower cervical and radiating complaints
- loss of cervical retraction and rotation toward the involved side for unilateral HA, when there is no loss of retraction and sB
- bilateral complaints or unilateral with no assymetry in either above pattern
- loss of cervical retraction - cervical pain radiating to upper traps
- loss of cervical retraction and extension
Cervical Resets
- cervical retraction with overpressure -> retraction with extension if radiating to upper thoracic, scapula, AND no loss of retraction and SB or rot
- cervical retraction with SB/rot if unilateral loss toward the involved side
- after symmetry is restored, load with retraction and overpressure if needed to get to end range
