Refractory torticollis after a fall.

Though multiple medical and psychiatric causes of torticollis have been described, cervical dystonias resulting from distant somatic dysfunctions have not. This article describes the treatment of a 62-year-old woman in whom refractory retrotorticollis of surmised pelvic etiology developed after a fall. Structurally, cervical dystonias have been addressed as problems that originate in the head and neck, but this limited view of the musculoskeletal component of torticollis may prevent physicians from directing osteopathic manipulative treatment to the underlying problem.

[Effectiveness of treatment in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis by exposure on vertebro-osteo-sternal joints].

A hundred and twenty six patients with infiltrative destructive pulmonary tuberculosis were examined. In 62 patients of them, the vertebroosteosternal joints were exposed as part of multimodality treatment in order to arrest an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. A control group included 64 patients. The exposure of vertebroosteosternal joints was found to enhance the efficiency of treatment for chronic bronchitis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This treatment promotes lower inflammatory intensity, diminished antigenemia and anti-protein antibody production. To arrest lesions in the bronchial tree with the proposed package of methods also favours a higher efficiency of treatment of a tuberculous process.

Vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss in the geriatric patient.

OBJECTIVE: To document clinical changes after a course of chiropractic care in a geriatric patient with vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. CLINICAL FEATURES: A 75-year-old woman with a longstanding history of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss experienced an intensified progression of these symptoms 5 weeks before seeking chiropractic care. Radiographs revealed a C3 retrolisthesis with moderate degenerative changes C4-C7. Significant decreases in audiologic function were evident, and the RAND 36 Health Survey revealed subjective distress. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: The patient received upper cervical-specific chiropractic care. Paraspinal bilateral skin temperature differential analysis was used to determine when an upper cervical adjustment was to be administered. Radiographic analysis was used to determine the specific characteristics of the misalignment in the upper cervical spine. Through the course of care, the patient's symptoms were alleviated, structural and functional improvements were evident through radiographic examination, and audiologic function improved. CONCLUSION: The clinical progress documented in this report suggests that upper cervical manipulation may benefit patients who have tinnitus and hearing loss.

Clinical study on manipulative treatment of derangement of the atlantoaxial joint.

The derangement of the atlantoaxial joint is one of main cervical sources of dizziness and headache, which were based on the observation on the anatomy of the upper cervical vertebrae, analysis of X-ray film of the atlantoaxial joint, and the manipulative treatment in 35 patients with cervical spondylosis. The clinical diagnosis of derangement consists of: dizziness, headache, prominence and tenderness on one side of the affected vertebra, deviation of the dens for 1 mm-4 mm on the open-mouth X-ray film, abnormal movement of the atlantoaxial joint on head-rotated open-mouth X-ray film. An accurate and delicate adjustment is the most effective treatment.

Cervical spine manipulation and the precautionary principle.

Cervical manipulations can cause severe neurologic complications, which are both exceedingly rare and generally unpredictable. To meet the requirements of the principles of prevention and precaution, we believe the number of cervical manipulations should be reduced. To this end, we suggest that five recommendations developed by consensus be followed: unwanted effects, however minor, of previous manipulation should be looked for routinely and taken as absolute contraindications to further manipulation; a thorough physical examination, including a neurological evaluation, should be performed prior to manipulation; all known contraindications and indications should be followed; manipulation should be performed only by physicians experienced in this technique; and special caution should be exercised when performing first-line cervical manipulation.

[Effect of manual therapy on clinico-pathophysiological status and central hemodynamics in patients with ischemic heart disease].

AIM: To elucidate effects of manual therapy on clinical status, central hemodynamics and parameters of Holter monitoring in ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients with angina of effort. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The examination of 70 IHD patients (functional class II-III) included Kubicek tetrapolar chest rheography in modification of Yu. G. Pushkar, bicycle exercise, 24-h Holter ECG monitoring. The condition of the vertebromotor segments was evaluated at manual tests. RESULTS: The addition of manual therapy to combined treatment of IHD patients improves sympathetic innervation in the cervicothoracic segments, depresses myofascial hypertonicity, diminishes sympathicotonic effects on the heart, enhances myocardial, coronary and aerobic reserves. CONCLUSION: The results of the study allow recommending adjuvant manual therapy in combined treatment of IHD.

Galbreath technique: a manipulative treatment for otitis media revisited.

Otitis media is a common disorder that results in numerous visits to the physician each year. Antimicrobials, antihistamines, steroids, and surgery have all been used to treat otitis media; however, the literature makes little mention of osteopathic manipulative treatment in this regard. This article describes a technique that was first described in 1929 by William Otis Galbreath, DO. By simple mandibular manipulation, the eustachian tube is made to open and close in a "pumping action" that allows the ear to drain accumulated fluid more effectively. Physicians can easily teach this procedure to parents for use at home.

The neuro-ophthalmologic complications of cervical manipulation.

Cervical manipulation, specifically chiropractic manipulation, is an important cause of vertebrobasilar and occasionally carotid distribution strokes. Neuro-ophthalmologic findings are a common and at times relatively isolated feature of cervical manipulation-induced stroke. A case of chiropractic-induced occipital lobe infarction with homonymous hemianopsia is reported, and the literature regarding neuro-ophthalmologic findings is reviewed.
