Caution!: The Spurling test is used to help diagnose cervical radiculopathy. If you feel any pain during the test, it’s considered a positive result. which means you may have cervical radiculopathy. Caution should be used when assessing pts with cervical instability, acute cervical injuries, critically ill patients & pts with other neoplastic or infectious processes. Best of luck with your health!
