If you could

use only 5 ortho tests.........

We all know of the limitations of of various ortho

tests in the chiro

setting...that being said, the majority of chiros

use these tests,

hopefully in an appropriate manner.

If you could use just 5 tests, what would they be?

(don't include

" manual static/motion papation or ROM

testing)

Mine might be

1-double straight leg raise

2- farfan torsion test

3 quick test (squat rise)

4- spurling

5- spinous process percussion
