It is commonly performed in spine clinics, physical therapy settings, and primary care evaluations for neck and arm symptoms. The test aims to reproduce a patient\u2019s familiar arm pain, tingling, or numbness by gently stressing the neck in a controlled way. It is one piece of the overall clinical puzzle, not a diagnosis by itself."}
