The following diagnostic tests may also be recommended:
- X-Ray: Helps identify bone spurs or disc problems affecting nerves.
- CT Scan: Provides detailed images of neck structures and abnormalities.
- MRI: Shows detailed images of soft tissues, spinal discs and nerves.
- Electromyography (EMG): Detects nerve compression and evaluates muscle and nerve health.
