question about procedure

Hi, when I was 17 I had some issues with my shoulder and was recommended to see a chiropractor.A procedure he performed I am curious about when he was evaluating me, he applied pressure to the top of my head almost as if pushing my head down towards my neck. Do you know anything about this procedure?

    Yes, it’s a common orthopedic test. The doctor is doing the test to see if any of the pain in your shoulder is due to compression of the nerves that exit the spine (neck) and supply the upper extremity.
