You are contemplating performing a high-velocity thrust technique to the upper cervical spine of a patient but are unable to position the patient in the recommended vertebral artery test position. What would be your best course of action?
1. Complete the vertebral artery test in the position of the patient's available cervical range of motion
2. Modify the vertebral artery test position
3. Avoid completing the vertebral test until the patient has full cervical range of motion
4. Avoid performing the high-thrust technique until you can completely clear vertebral artery
