The femoral nerve block is one of the most clinically applicable nerve block techniques that it is relatively simple to perform, carries a low risk of complications, and results in a high success rate.

Dr. Caleb Burgess DPT OCS CSCS on Instagram: "⁉️ Nerve Pain at the front of the thigh? ⚡ It may be due to irritation of the femoral nerve, which originates from the lumbar spine (low back) and is formed by nerve roots L2-L4 🎯 The femoral nerve supplies sensory input to the front of the thigh and motor input to the hip flexors and quadriceps 🚨 If you experience pain, numbness or tingling in this region, performing femoral nerve mobilization exercises, like the ones shown here, may help! 1️⃣…

Femoral Nerve Stretch Test is a way of eliciting root stretch in the evaluation of high lumbar radiculopathy. As noted, the straight leg raising test and its variants do not place significant tension on the nerve roots above L5. Although compression of the upper lumbar nerve roots is not common, it does occur. Herniations of the L3–L4 disc commonly compress the L4 nerve root. The femoral nerve stretch test is designed to assess compression of the L2, L3, or L4 nerve roots. See Also…
