متن کاملVirchow’s Triad and spinal manipulative therapy of the cervical spine
The objective of this review paper is to borrow Virchow’s Triad as a conceptual framework to examine the state of the art in research on thrombosis, specifically in the vertebrobasilar system as a consequence of high velocity, low amplitude spinal manipulation of the cervical spine. A revised Virchow’s Triad is presented which emphasizes the interactions between various risk factors, as a tool ...
متن کاملSpinal manipulative therapy in the management of cervicogenic headache.
Patients suffering from cervicogenic headache (CeH) are commonly treated with spinal manipulative therapy. We have analyzed the quality and the outcomes of published, randomized, controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in CeH. Among 121 relevant articles, only two met all the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality scores were 8/10 and 7/10 points. Only one of th...
