What is a phesants test that chiropractors use?

The Phalen's test is a clinical examination used by chiropractors and other healthcare providers to assess for carpal tunnel syndrome. During the test, the patient is asked to hold their wrists in flexion, with the backs of their hands pressed together for about 30 to 60 seconds. A positive result is indicated by the onset of symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the fingers, suggesting compression of the median nerve. This test helps in diagnosing conditions related to nerve entrapment in the wrist.
