The Problem
Manual
therapy of the spinal column can be a safe and effective method of
treating a certain number of minor pains and discomforts of the spinal
column area.
Like any type of therapy, there are certain risks that can arise. A
major concern in manual therapy is the sudden manipulation of the
joints between the skull and the first vertebrae in the neck and
manipulation of the joints between the first and second vertebrae. Some
therapists, such as those who practice what is known as orthopractic
manual therapy have banned all high velocity upper neck rotation when
the head is held in a position of extension.
