Description

Please join us on this episode of the Pod of Inquiry as we welcome Mark Schuenke, PhD to discuss the important distinctions and anatomical delineations between radiculopathy and peripheral nerve entrapment conditions.

Radiculopathy and peripheral nerve entrapments like tarsal tunnel syndrome may seem similar on the surface, but they are quite different in their causes, symptoms, and treatments. Understanding these differences is crucial for proper diagnosis and management.

Dr. Schuenke is a leading expert in neuroanatomy and associated clinical conditions.

In this episode, Dr. Schuenke will explain:

• The key anatomical differences between a radiculopathy and a peripheral nerve entrapment
• How to differentiate the symptoms to aid in accurate diagnosis 
• Why getting the diagnosis right matters for selecting appropriate treatment
• Common cases where these conditions are confused
• Red flags and serious pathologies that must not be missed

Whether you are a student, physician, physical therapist or other health professional, you won't want to miss Dr. Schuenke's insights on this critical topic.
