FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of medicine, namely reflexology, manual therapy, and can be used in the treatment of spinal diseases caused by injuries, overloads or degenerative-dystrophic processes. To do this, the presence of subluxations in the facet joints of the affected vertebral-motor segments and the direction of displacement of the lower articular processes, as well as the place of increase in the width of the articular gap, are preliminarily detected. At the same time, only the lower articular processes are corrected relative to the upper articular processes below the located vertebra. When performing blows, the pad of the middle finger of the supporting hand is placed on the spinous process of the displaced vertebra, the index or ring finger of the same hand is placed paravertebral. In this case, the nail phalanges of these fingers are directed caudally. After that, a blow is performed with the edge of the palm, clenched into a fist, hitting the nail plate of the middle finger at an angle. At the same time, in the lumbar spine, blows are performed in the cranial, medial and lateral directions not only from the side of their displacement, but also from the opposite side. In the thoracic spine, blows are performed in the caudal and lateral directions from the displacement side and from the opposite side. In the cervical spine, blows are performed only from the side of the displacement of the lower articular processes and only in the medial-ventral direction.
EFFECT: method provides effective treatment in this group of patients with a simultaneous reduction in trauma when exposed, due to the absence of additional compression and traumatic blows to the area of edema, painful dislocated joint and pinched nerve root.
