Research progress of spine manipulation in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy in the past decade
This paper searches for recent literature on the treatment of cervical radiculopathy with spinal manipulation,and reviews the unique features and limitations of spinal manipulation and related combined treatments for cervical radiculopathy.Spinal manipulation emphasize the importance of both tendons and bones,by correcting disordered joints and regulating the biomechanical structure of the neck to achieve a balance of tendons and bones,which has a significant effect on cervical radiculopathy.However,it involves a certain risk involved.Controlling the angle of rotation of the neck and the frequency of the adjustment,and avoiding the pursuit of a popping sound,can effectively reduce the risk.Establishing related standardized protocols would be of great help to the clinical treatment of cervical radiculopathy.
