Title: Use of neurodynamics in cervical radiculopathies therapy Abstract:This Bachelor's Thesis deals with treatment of cervical radiculopathy using mobilization of peripheral nervous system. Its aim is to discover whether this method can ease the pain, attenuate the sensation and motoric symptoms, which characterise cervical root syndromes. The theoretical part of the Thesis describes the basic anatomical aspects and looks into etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and the treatment itself. A chapter on neurodynamics follows, explaining its principles and methods. The practical part includes two casuistries of patients suffering from cervical root syndrome, who were subject to therapy carried out by the method of nervous system mobilization. The first patient's general symptoms were mitigated, contrastingly, the condition of the other patient worsened. Key words: vertebrogenic, cervical spine, pain, paresthesia, radiculapathy, neurodynamics
