Abstract

Abstract Spinal examination findings of “spasm” and “facet pain” are unreliable. A thorough neurological examination can help differentiate true symptomatic radiculopathy from nonverifiable radicular complaints. Manual muscle testing may miss subtle findings. The correct diagnosis for most low-back injuries in the worker's compensation setting is “nonspecific spinal pain.”
