Description of Chiropractic... in a Medical Journal of all places!
Treatment of Intervertebral Disc Herniation With
Manipulation
“Manipulation. Some orthopaedic surgeons practice manipulation in an effort at repositioning the disc. This treatment is regarded as controversial and a form of quackery by many men. However, the author has attempted the maneuver in patients who did not respond to bed rest and were regarded as candidates for surgery. Occasionally, the results was dramatic.
Technique. The patient lies on his side on the edge of the table facing the surgeon, and the uppermost leg is allowed to drop forward over the edge of the table, carrying forward that side of the pelvis. The uppermost arm is placed backward behind the patient, pulling the shoulder back. The surgeon places one hand on the shoulder and the other on the iliac crest and twists the torso by pushing the shoulder backward and the iliac crest forward. The maneuver is sudden and forceful and frequently is associated with an audible and palpable crunching sound in the lower back. When this is felt, the relief of pain is usually
immediate. The maneuver is repeated with the patient on the opposite side.”
“The patient should be cautioned beforehand that the
manipulation may make his symptoms worse and that this is an
attempt to avoid surgery.”

"This is one of my favorite articles dating back to 1977. Who says Chiropractors and MD's don't think similarly? Read carefully and note that this Orthopedic Surgeon is recommending that instead of always "cutting" on patients with lumbar disc herniations, a more conservative approach such as manipulation often relieves the pain. Check out his description of the position for the adjustment....sound familiar????" Dr. Rex
