Trigger Point, Nerve Entrapment, or Radiculopathy: Week in Review 33

In this conversation, Dr. Beau, Dr. Alex, and Dr. Seth discuss the differentiation between trigger points, radiculopathy, and peripheral nerve entrapment. The docs present three cases of heel pain in runners and ask the audience to determine which condition each case represents. Dr. Beau emphasizes the importance of history taking and examination in making a diagnosis, and highlights the need to rule out other potential causes of pain. He also mentions the use of different treatment interventions and adjunctive care for each condition.
