FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves mechanical treatment of patient vertebral column in lying position by unbending the vertebral column relative to the transverse axis, rotating it about sagittal and vertical axes and pressing transverse processes. Mechanical treatment is carried out synchronizing it with patient exhale by traction within the limits imposed by maximum vertebrocostal articulation stretch, by pressing the transverse interspinous ligaments and vertebrocostal articulation and interspinous ligaments, by straightening, rotating and manipulating separate segments of the vertebral column in thoracic, lumbar and cervical regions. More time is to be spent on mechanical treatment of thoracic region of the vertebral column corresponding to the number of vertebral column segments and higher force is to be applied. The mechanical treatment itself is carried out without paying attention to the injured segments of the vertebral column and corresponding local symptoms. It is advisable to finish the mechanical treatment with shaking patient body in sitting or standing position. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 2 cl, 1 tbl
