They also explain how to differentiate disc versus facet referral patterns in the upper back based on flexion/extension provocation, recommend considering flexion-extension X-rays and hypermobility screening for chronic neck issues, address questions on statin-related neuropathy and antidepressant tapering, share carpal tunnel strategies and outcomes, and explore vagus-focused approaches for interoception, pelvic…
