METHOD FOR TREATING CERVICAL OSTEOCHONDROSIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, manual therapy.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with detecting cervical muscular hypertonicity followed by removing it due to pressing upon muscles in sagittal plane with the help of a thumb onto occipital-vertebral muscles and, also, onto ones being between cross-sectional processes C1-C7 till relaxation moment in a patient, then patient's head should be fixed with one hand by mastoid processes and with the help of another hand - by patient's shoulders to carry out the traction of muscular-ligamentous cervical apparatus due to obligatory rotation into different sides and head's bending, then patient's shoulders should be fixed alternately at simultaneous alternate head's bending in frontal plane to form the angle with suprabrachial area being 30 deg., then with a palm one should fix the head with one hand by mastoid processes and with another hand - by mandibula, moreover, with suprabrachial area one should touch patient's back to create the level of the impact to perform compulsory rotation of the head towards suprabrachial area, moreover, rotation angle at the onset of exercises corresponds to 10-15 deg., then it should be increased to achieve 90 deg. by the cycle that prevents the lesions of muscular-ligamentous apparatus and vertebral shifting.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
