4
Q
T of F
nerves may be subject to stretch, constriction,
compression, torsion, angulation, but not ischemia
A
F, Ischemia as well
5
Q
T of F
Cervical and Lumbar Sublxations are more likely to produce foraminal encroachment resulting in compression than thoracic level subluxations?
A
T
- Less likely to occur in Thoracics due to smaller diameter of nerve roots (according to Hadley)
