adverse effects of manipulation

[estherderu]

Dear colleagues,

Last month an article was published in the Dutch Journal of Medicine about the adverse effects of a cranial‐sacral manipulation on a young baby. This is the second child to die because of a cervical spinal “manipulation”. One child died after being held in a Vojta position in rotation ( article published in Z.f. Physioterapeuten 53 in 2001), the other after having been held in a cranial‐sacral flexion position.

I have summarized the most important conclusions from both articles and discuss what we can learn from them.

kind regards

Esther
