[X-ray signs of ligamentous cervical injuries from joint manual therapy].

: X-ray study was conducted in 40 patients undergoing joint manual therapy (MT) to study its impact on the ligamentous apparatus of the cervical spine. The patients who had received rotational manual therapeutic techniques were found to have statodynamic dysfunction (100%), x-ray signs of ligamentous cervical injury (62%), or intervertebral disk protrusions (67%). An algorithm for cervical spine x-ray study in the frontal and lateral projections was compiled to perform after MT in the early and late periods.
