A 50 year old Caucasian male who presented to physical therapy with severe upper extremity pain and radicular symptoms into his right forearm and hand that occurred from a traumatic accident 11 months ago. The patient is a correctional officer and while on the job, a metal hatch fell on his outstretched right arm proximal to the acromion process. Imaging two months post injury showed no fractures or nerve damage at the neck or shoulder. The primary complaint was the extreme constant pain he experienced in his right upper trapezius, anterior right shoulder, right lateral forearm, and first and second digits of his right hand. There is no Tinel's sign and electrodiagnostic studies are normal. Q4) What will be the possible physiotherapy treatment for such nerve injury?
