METHOD FOR TREATING VERTEBROGENIC CERVICALGIA DUE TO DEGENERATIVE ALTERATION OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISKS WITH CONCOMITANT IMPAIRMENT OF JOINTS AND LOCOMOTOR APPARATUS

摘要

A method for treating vertebrogenic cervicalgia comprises the manual therapy and the use of Mydocalm as a muscle relaxant and other drugs. First, Mydocalm is injected intramuscularly for removing the muscular spasm. At the same time, the auricular acupuncture is performed in the projectional areas of intervertebral and extravertebral muscles with the simultaneous stretching of the extravertebral muscles by postisometric relaxation, release and the stretching of the fascia. The trigger points in the muscles and the tendomuscular transitions are activated by laser therapy. Denebol is used for the blockade of the nociceptive pulsation in the zygapophysial joints and intervertebral disks. The manual therapy of the cervical division of the backbone is performed with accompanying respiratory and oculomotoric synkinesis until the relaxation of the intervertebral muscles.
