Because some dr.s think there God and feel like they don't have to give a full explanation, especially the older ones. They just talk to you for 10min and get your co-pay. This dr is different very through thow.

Truly one of the best presentations and explanations of anatomy and diagnostics. You can tell he is a master of the subject since he can easily explain it.
Thorough, well organized, easily to understand and follow, description of cervical Radiculopathy. Well worth watching and learning.

That was so easy to understand & really helped me with my symptoms. Thanks
Dude your amazing, thanks so much
This is the most informative explanation of the condition for which I have been treated for many years. Thank you. You have a new subscriber.
One if not the best explanation about cervical radiculopathy on KZread. Diagrams, explanation of the medical terminology, patient. Well done Dr. Su. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you
Wow thanks Dr. Very good video as I’m getting ready for neck surgery in a few weeks.
Thank you for speaking patient!!!! Very clear. It seems since Covid, we have to diagnose ourselves.
Thank you for this informative video. This has been the most thorough explanation I have seen that I could actually understand! Soooo helpful! Many thanks!

God bless this guy....I have a herniated disc (which I have figured out now from this awesome Doc)...in the C6..from heavy deadlift
Thank you Dr Su, your explanation is well understood practical and very informative , excellent! Watched and subscribed, we need good videos like these..
thank you for taking the time to MAP OUT the nerves and what segment of the neck they are attached to. This has greatly helped to isolate and understand my pain.
Writing from the Bahamas, thank you for your detailed information. Very informative looking forward to follow closely. Thank you.
Excellent video!!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much. A brilliant video, it explained everything perfectly. I currently have C4, C5 and C7 (bilateral for C5 and C7) pinched nerves. You are my new hero.
Thank you, cervical stenosis a problem for me. I found the video very interesting, and excellently presented.
This is so helpful, Thank you so much!!!
You are awesome Dr.
Amazingly informative. Really helpful dedicated work.
Thank you for making this video! With your expertise I have diagnosed myself as NOT having cervical radiculopathy.
Finally someone who explained what is wrong with my neck, why I keep dropping things, and the pain is horrible.
Hello! I’m from Sweden and have had two sugerys. The first in 2017 and the second thre weaks ago. C4- C7 this time. Can’t explain more in english. The discs is now gone and there is a metal plate.. This video gave me so much. Thank you! 🙏🏼 I wish my doctors told me like you did with your patient..,
Best series on neck!
Simply explained..😊😊
Thank you for this thorough explanation. I’ve known that I’ve had a pinched nerve in my neck and now I’m certain after you’ve explained the symptoms. Unfortunately the ortho surgeon I’ve seen is of no help. They want me to get an mri on my shoulder and my sister who is an mri tech looked at the order says it’s wrong and should be on my neck, not shoulder but the dr won’t listen or see me any further. I’m in so much pain and I also damaged my lower back by simply bending down to pick up something. I’m only 40 and have been working out and eating healthy consistently since I was 21 😢. It’s so frustrating.
Good explanation of nerve root levels and a proper exam
this is incredible. thank you! wish you were my doctor.
i hope ul post more in the future.. thanks Dr!
This is great. Pinpointed exactly what I have. My CR is super painful…and almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep because of it. Hope I don’t need surgery.
awesome, absolutly helpful, thank you so much 💗👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you❤
Thank you so much for the explanation, I damaged my nerves, almost the whole left side of my body. It's been 2 years and still don't feel temperature on my left side, but I do feel numbness/needle points instead of the temperature. It's weird but I went to physical therapy for about 6 months and still feel that same numbness/needle points. So, I've given up on trying to regain full function, but at least it feels good to understand what happened to me. You're an awesome doctor, thank you for that.
This brought so many answers to me. I've had a numb index finger, weak left triceps and pain between left scapula and spine for 5 weeks now. This is giving so much needed hope, thanks Doc!
Thanks Dr. Brian Su for your explanation of the causes of referred pain originating from cervical spine problems. This helps me understand the source of my referred pain, numbness and muscle weakness. I’m currently getting physical therapy to resolve these issues. My pain is much less now after 6 therapy sessions. Hopefully these issues will be totally resolved with therapy.
Simply explained..😊😊thx
That was a very informative video that really helped me out alot
So helpful, thank you!
Excellent explanation!
What a great video.
Nicely explained with pictures..
Beautiful explaination
I have this problem since several years. I visited many many physicians including Physio, Chiro, physiatrist, so on and on. No one has explained my problem with accuracy. After watching this video. I understand now my whole problem. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this video…having a three level fusion soon……very informative!
I would like to say thank you for explaining this issue, discomfort or Pinch Nerve procedure. As for myself I referred to three different specialists and all three have determined that I have had a pinched nerve for a long time. The Nerve Specialist was the one that finally made the diagnosis and all the systems that you have explained I have. With me it is the C3 and C8, prior to my diagnosis I since have had 2 previous surgeries due to arthritis and carpotunel on my hand and wrist. Second was a displacement of the nerve in the elbow, both surgeries went very good no issues. Third surgery is going to be on my neck which is where my discomfort is and because of this I am starting to experience the same symptoms all over again.
Thank you so much. That's exactly what happens to me now
Amazing video. Dealing with that now. Now when certain part of arm or finger acts up i know which nerve is pinched😄 I ordered the saunders cervical traction and hoping u will direct me to that video. Thank you Dr. SU!!!
so amazing.
Best explanation
What a stellar presentation! Dr. Su, you have made this easy to understand for the average, non- medical person. Unfortunately, since my only insurance is Medicaid, and I am unable to travel because of economic circumstances, you cannot be my Dr. I have multiple disc herniations - mostly cervical, but also lumbar... I also have spondylitis, stenosis, osteophytes, and ddd. I have more upcoming appointments with a neurosurgeon at the local spine center.... Hopefully there will be a good outcome. I am 59 years old and have tried to keep active, but it is getting harder.
Thank You.
Excellent presentation
Excellent presentation.
I just went to medical school. Excellent presentation 👏 Learned more from this doctor. Then, I've learned from any doctor at Kaiser. Oops, did I say that! Well, it's factual. If doctors took the time. Like 15 minutes tops. To explain why we're having pain and where it's coming from, and the remedy. Then, most of us could leave the doctors office. Knowing exactly what's taking place within our bodies.💯
Thank you. Amazing
"It only means narrowing" "And radiculopathy just means an impinged nerve". Other than that, it is awesome. Kidding. Very good explanation and I bet people and patients will be more informed. Thanks for your hard work
My Rediculopathy is Redicoulus but this video clarifies everything that I have had going on for way too long. Stenosis sucks to live with!
Very informative and concise👍
Thank you I also have spinal senonsis
Your video is amazing.
Thank you.
Really I saw one and only Dr.Su who explain everything very clearly and easily.I never see any other Doctors on KZread platform who can demonstrate each and every symptom during Cervical Radiculopathy.Thank you so much Dr.Su

If one has both stenosis of the reticulophy and spinal cord stenosis, and had block treatment, however it's due to bone stenosis not disk stenosis: can one 2 physio to help the muscles I avoid to use due to pain?
nice exam, i didnt know about the referred pain behind the shoulder for c7
thank you!
Dr. Su. I have had two lumbar micro laminotomies to get ready of disk herniations... You literally save me from a third one. I was in a lot of pain. The high dose of Ibuprofen and proper exercise did it! Thank you so very much.
