MANIPULATION OF THE SPINE

Edward G. Ewer M.D.1

1 Oakland, California

1. Manipulation of the spine in the presence of intraspinal space-consuming lesions and certain other pathological conditions is contra-indicated and hazardous.

2. Manipulation under anaesthesia is more dangerous and does not compensate for the risks involved.

3. No originality is claimed for the simple, relatively safe methods presented, which in the author's experience have been effective.

4. As orthopaedic surgeons, we cannot overlook a method of treatment which in selected cases offers our patients so much relief.
