Compression of the radial nerve is most commonly described at the supinator muscle (i.e., arcade of Frohse). However, radial nerve compression can occur in the arm. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review both etiologies of radial nerve entrapment and the sites at which this can occur in the arm. The clinical presentation of radial nerve entrapment in the arm and how it differs from that of entrapment at other sites is reviewed and the conditions potentially predisposing to nerve entrapment are described. Particular attention is paid to the nerve’s course and potential variants of the anatomical structures in the arm. In each case, the recommended course of management for the neuropathy is described. Injury of the radial nerve can arise from a varied set of pathologies including trauma, tumors, anomalous muscles, and intramuscular injections. Physicians should have a good working knowledge of the anatomy and potential mechanisms for radial nerve injury.

“…Examples include rest, modification of activities that exacerbate symptoms, splinting at wrist and elbow, physical therapy, antiinflammatory drug therapy, and corticosteroid injections. [31][32][33][34][35] Patients do not usually need time off from work activities before surgery unless they present with objective weakness or sensory loss in the distribution of the proximal median nerve that limits work activities or poses a substantial safety risk. Conservative care should be ongoing for at least 6 weeks.…”

“…Surgery should include exploration of the median nerve throughout its proximal course and release of all compressive structures, which may include the ligament of Struthers (if it is present), the lacertus fibrosis (bicipital aponeurosis), the fascia of the pronator teres, and the fascia of the flexor digitorum superficialis. [31][32][33][34] Although complete release may require nerve decompression at multiple sites, this is considered a single procedure.…”

“…Usually, the symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness on lower limbs due to nerve pressure. [19] Patient-clinician relationship The concept of the therapeutic alliance between clinician and patient can be used as a platform to recognize, support, and plan for better management of patient future outcomes. [20] In this concept introduced by Bordin (1979) consist of three section which are the therapist-patient agreement on goals and interventions, as well as the affective rapport between therapist and patient.…”

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems that affect patients' daily life. Nowadays, treatment of LBP is very challenging due to the recurrent nature of the problem. This narrative review focuses on massage and spinal manipulation on LBP condition. The other issues consist of epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, and rapport between clinician and patient on treatment were explored. Online electronic search in databases (Ovid TM , Scopus, EMBASE and PubMed) was performed using key words such as LBP, massage, and spinal manipulation. Textbooks and web page are additional sources that were used for gathering information. Literature reported that high incidence of LBP in agriculture areas which is farmer, in the urban area mainly office worker and industrial area mainly factory operator. LBP frequently occurs among office workers, pregnant, and obesity due to poor body mechanics. Building a successful rapport is a single most important factor in a relationship between clinician and patient. Understanding patient's perspective in their illness such as belief about cause, treatment approaches, and quality-of-life will help clinician create plans that are more appropriate to patient's situation and preferences. Patient's trust is the easing way for the clinician to provide treatments. Based on current evidence, there are arrays of conservative treatments shown to be effective in treating LBP. However, massage and spinal manipulation are the most popular among LBP patients because it contributes good effect in reducing pain intensity. Massage preferred by certain patient such as traditional Malay massage, Thai massage, Tui Na because it provide a relaxation on the body. In addition, spinal manipulation also showed a positive outcome on pain reduction and joint hypomobility. LBP is a common problem, and various methods could be used as a treatment. However, traditional massage is fast gaining popularity even in the modernized society.
