Traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation

Traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation(TCSOM)is an external therapeutic method of traumatology and orthopedics of traditional Chinese medicine to treat trauma and set bone.The doctor exerts his force through thumb or bilateral upper extremities on the spine or acupoints of the patient,applying various manipulatory techniques according to the conditions.Correcting the abnormal position or state of the spine serve as the most important theoretical foundation for TCSOM to treat spinal disorders and spinogenic disorders.This paper presented the definition and function of the TCSOM,with a special focus on how to make a preliminary diagnosis of spinal segments disorders,and the indications of TCSOM in different spinal segments.

Reduction in nerve root compression by the nucleus pulposus after Feng's Spinal Manipulation

Ninety-four patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were enrolled in this study. Of these, 48 were treated with Feng＇s Spinal Manipulation, hot fomentation, and bed rest （treatment group）. The remaining 46 patients were treated with hot fomentation and bed rest only （control group）. After 3 weeks of treatment, clinical parameters including the angle of straight-leg raising, visual analogue scale pain score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for low back pain were improved. The treatment group had significantly better improvement in scores than the control group. Magnetic resonance myelography three-dimensional reconstruction imaging of the vertebral canal demonstrated that filling of the compressed nerve root sleeve with cerebrospinal fluid increased significantly in the treatment group. The diameter of the nerve root sleeve was significantly larger in the treatment group than in the control group. However, the sagittal diameter index of the herniated nucleus pulposus and the angle between the nerve root sleeve and the thecal sac did not change significantly in either the treatment or control groups. The effectiveness of Feng＇s Spinal Manipulation for the treatment of symptoms associated with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation may be attributable to the relief of nerve root compression, without affecting the herniated nucleus pulposus or changing the morphology or position of the nerve root.

Spinal epidural hematoma after spinal manipulation therapy:Report of three cases and a literature review

BACKGROUND Spinal manipulation therapy(SMT)has been widely used worldwide to treat musculoskeletal diseases,but it can cause serious adverse events.Spinal epidural hematoma(SEH)caused by SMT is a rare emergency that can cause neurological dysfunction.We herein report three cases of SEH after SMT.CASE SUMMARY The first case was a 30-year-old woman who experienced neck pain and numbness in both upper limbs immediately after SMT.Her symptoms persisted after 3 d of conservative treatment,and she was admitted to our hospital.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)demonstrated an SEH,extending from C6 to C7.The second case was a 55-year-old man with sudden back pain 1 d after SMT,numbness in both lower limbs,an inability to stand or walk,and difficulty urinating.MRI revealed an SEH,extending from T1 to T3.The third case was a 28-year-old man who suddenly developed symptoms of numbness in both lower limbs 4 h after SMT.He was unable to stand or walk and experienced mild back pain.MRI revealed an SEH,extending from T1 to T2.All three patients underwent surgery after failed conservative treatment.The three cases recovered to ASIA grade E on day 5,1 wk,and day 10 after surgery,respectively.All patients returned to normal after 3 mo of follow-up.CONCLUSION SEH caused by SMT is very rare,and the condition of each patient should be evaluated in full detail before operation.SEH should be diagnosed immediately and actively treated by surgery.

Clinical effect of traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation in treatment of chondromalacia patellae

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation(TCSOM) in treating chondromalacia patellae(CP).METHODS: Sixty cases of CP patients were randomly assigned to a TCSOM group and a Celecoxib group according to the random number table method. All patients in the TCSOM group were treated with a maximum of 10 spinal manipulations and rehabilitation training of quadriceps femoris. The symptoms before and after treatment were assessed with visual analog scale(VAS) and Kujala functional knee scoring system(KFKSS). A symptom improvement rate(SIR) was implemented in order to evaluate the effects of the treatments.RESULTS: The symptoms of 16 patients in the TC-SOM group quickly resolved after the first spinal manipulation and 8 cases were significantly improved. The VAS scores in the TCSOM group after 4weeks of treatment were significantly lower than those in the Celecoxib group. The KFKSS scores in the TCSOM group after 4 weeks of treatment were significantly higher than those in the Celecoxib group. Side effects of the treatment were not reported. Symptom improvement rate based on the VAS in the TCSOM group indicated more significant improvements than the Celecoxib group.CONCLUSION: TCSOM has greater efficacy than Celecoxib capsules for relief of the symptoms of CP.

Effect of spinal manipulation on degenerative scoliosis

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of spinal manipulation(SM)on degenerative scoliosis by evaluating patients’visual analog scale(VAS)scores,Cobb angles,sagittal vertical axis(SVA),and apical vertebral rotation(AVR)and to explore factors that influence treatment effect.METHODS:A total of 55 patients with degenerative scoliosis received 4 weeks of SM.After treatment,patients were divided into two groups:the remission group(VAS score<40 mm)and the non-remission group(VAS score≥40 mm).Pre-versus post-treatment VAS scores,Cobb angles,SVA,and AVR were compared in each group and in the total population.Baseline data(sex,age,symptom characteristics,duration of symptoms,VAS score,Cobb angle,SVA,and AVR)were compared between groups.Factors influencing the post-treatment VAS score were explored with multiple linear regression analysis.RESULTS:No changes were found in the Cobb angle(P=0.722)or AVR(P=0.424)after intervention in the overall population.However,the SVA(P<0.001)and VAS score(P=0.000)changed significantly after treatment.Similar changes were observed in the remission group(n=29).Multiple linear regression revealed that the only factors influencing treatment effect were symptom characteristics,SVA,and VAS score.CONCLUSION:SM relieved pain and improved sagittal imbalance in patients with degenerative scoliosis.It did not lessen the severity of coronal curvature or vertebral rotation.Factors influencing the effect of SM included symptom characteristics,VAS score,and SVA.A larger randomized trial is needed to further confirm our results.

Analgesic Effects of Two Types of Spinal Manipulation in Acute Lumbar Radiculopathy Model Rats

Objective:To compare the analgesic effects of two types of spinal manipulation(SM)in acute lumbar radiculopathy(ALR)model rats induced by self-transplantation of autologous nucleus pulposus(ANP),and clarify the therapeutic mechanism.Methods:Totally 108 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups by a random number table(18 rats in each group),including a blank group with no interference,a sham operation group with a surgery by making a local soft tissue incision on the left side of L5-6 vertebral segment,a model group with ALR of L5 extraforaminal nerve by ANP self-transplantation without other interference,a sham manipulation(SMA)group with simulating physical rotation,as well as a mobilization(MOB)group with simulating low-velocity and variable-amplitudle rotation and a manipulation(MAN)group with simulating high-velocity and low-amplitude rotation.The interventions in SMA,MOB,and MAN groups started 1 day after modeling followed by another 5 treatments at days 3,5,8,10 and 12.Rats in the other3 groups did not receive any special intervention.Behavioral pain tests of 50%mechanical pain withdrawal threshold(50%PWT)and paw withdrawal latency(PWL)were conducted 1 day before operation followed by another 10 tests on days 1-7,10,12 and 14.Immunohistochemical expression of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)was investigated on days 5 and 12 after operation.Results:After 3 experimental SM interventions,50%PWT and PWL were higher in the MAN group than the SMA group on days 6 and 7,and higher on days 10,12 and14 postoperatively(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the same indices were significantly higher in the MOB group than MAN group on days 1-4(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The expression of NOS was lower in the MAN and MOB groups than SMA group on day 12 postoperatively(P<0.01).Conclusions:Both manipulation and mobilization produced better results than sham interference in relieving pain by reducing neuroinflammation possibly.At the early period,compared with manipulation,mobilization presented less sensitive response to pain until later visit.SM may inhibit the overexpression of NOS,thereby alleviating severe radiculopathy.

Effects of biomechanical parameters of spinal manipulation: A critical literature review

Spinal manipulation is a manual treatment technique that delivers a thrust,using specific biomechanical parameters to exert its therapeutic effects.These parameters have been shown to have a unique dose-response relationship with the physiological responses of the therapy.So far,however,there has not been a unified approach to standardize these biomechanical characteristics.In fact,it is still undetermined how they affect the observed clinical outcomes of spinal manipulation.This study,therefore,reviewed the current body of literature to explore these dosage parameters and evaluate their significance,with respect to physiological and clinical outcomes.From the experimental studies reviewed herein,it is evident that the modulation of manipulation’s biomechanical parameters elicits transient physiological responses,including changes in neuronal activity,electromyographic responses,spinal stiffness,muscle spindle responses,paraspinal muscle activity,vertebral displacement,and segmental and intersegmental acceleration responses.However,to date,there have been few clinical trials that tested the therapeutic relevance of these changes.In addition,there were some inherent limitations in both human and animal models due to the use of mechanical devices to apply the thrust.Future studies evaluating the effects of varying biomechanical parameters of spinal manipulation should include clinicians to deliver the therapy in order to explore the true clinical significance of the dose-response relationship.

A Clinical Observation of Functional Abdominal Pain Syndrome in Patients Treated by Traditional Chinese Spinal Orthopedic Manipulation

Objective： To evaluate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation（TCSOM） in treating patients with functional abdominal pain syndrome（FAPS） in comparison with Pinaverium Bromide（Dicetel, PBD）, and to assess a possible cause for FAPS. Methods： Eighty patients with FAPS were randomly and equally assigned to the TCSOM group and PBD group according to the random number table. All patients in the TCSOM group were treated with a maximum of 5 times of spinal manipulations. Patients in the PBD group were instructed to take 50 mg 3 times a day, consistently for 2 weeks. The symptoms of pre-and post-treatment were assessed on a visual analog scale（VAS） pain score. A symptom improvement rating（SIR） was implemented to evaluate the effects of the treatments. Results： The symptoms of 27 cases of the TCSOM group were relieved soon after the first TCSOM treatment and 9 cases were significantly improved. The VAS pain scores in the TCSOM group were significantly lower than those in the PBD group after 2 weeks treatment. According to the SIR based on VAS, the TCSOM group included 30 cases with excellent results, 7 cases with good, and 3 cases with poor. Adverse events to the treatment were not reported. Based on VAS, the PBD group reported 8 cases with excellent results, 10 cases with good and 22 cases with poor. There was a significant difference between the two groups（P〈0.01）. Conclusions： The displacement of intervertebral discs and/or vertebra in the thoracic or lumbar region seems to be a contributing factor in the symptoms of FAPS. TCSOM is an effective treatment for FAPS.

【目的】观察“三位动正”整脊手法联合通络活血方治疗气虚血瘀型腰椎管狭窄症(lumbar spinal stenosis,LSS)的临床疗效。【方法】将60例气虚血瘀型LSS患者随机分为试验组和对照组,每组各30例。试验组给予“三位动正”整脊手法联合通络活血方治疗,对照组给予“三位动正”整脊手法联合常规西药治疗,疗程为4周。观察2组患者治疗前后疼痛程度视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分、腰椎功能日本骨科协会(JOA)评分、Oswestry功能障碍指数(ODI)评分、直腿抬高试验结果以及血清白细胞介素6(IL-6)、C反应蛋白(CRP)水平的变化情况,并评价2组患者的临床疗效和安全性。【结果】(1)疗效方面,治疗4周后,试验组的总有效率为96.67%(29/30),对照组为63.33%(19/30),组间比较(Fisher精确检验),试验组的临床疗效明显优于对照组(P<0.05)。(2)腰部功能方面,治疗后,试验组的VAS、ODI评分较治疗前明显降低(P<0.05),JOA评分较治疗前明显升高(P<0.05),而对照组仅ODI评分较治疗前明显降低(P<0.05);组间比较,试验组对VAS、ODI评分的降低幅度及对JOA评分的升高幅度均明显优于对照组(P<0.05或P<0.01)。(3)直腿抬高试验方面,治疗后,试验组的直腿抬高试验较治疗前明显改善(P<0.05),而对照组无明显改善(P>0.05);组间比较,试验组对直腿抬高试验的改善幅度明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。(4)血清炎症因子方面,治疗后,2组患者的血清IL-6、CRP水平均较治疗前降低(P<0.05),且试验组对血清IL-6水平的降低幅度明显优于对照组(P<0.05),而2组患者治疗后的血清CRP水平比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。(5)安全性方面,试验组的不良反应发生率为6.67%(2/30),对照组为13.33%(4/30),组间比较(Fisher精确检验),差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。【结论】“三位动正”整脊手法联合通络活血方治疗气虚血瘀型LSS患者疗效确切,在改善患者腰部功能、促进患者康复以及降低血清炎症因子水平方面相比“三位动正”整脊手法联合常规西药治疗有明显优势。

基于经筋骨一体观探讨脊柱调衡点穴手法治疗非特异性腰痛的机制研究进展

非特异性腰痛(NSLBP)的病机较为复杂,与“经-筋-骨”三者彼此失和密切相关。脊柱调衡点穴手法以经、筋、骨为治疗节点,是治疗NSLBP的有效方法,但其作用机制尚未明确。文章以经筋骨三位一体观为理论基础,从经络不畅、筋骨失衡的角度出发,对脊柱调衡点穴手法治疗NSLBP的作用机制展开论述。
