adverse effects of manipulation

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

The Archives of Diseases in Childhood has just published an article about the "effects" of chiropractic manipulation in children.
