Abstract After spontaneous remission of nerve root compression, a myelographic defect may persist. Similarly, myelopathy may remain nonprogressive for long periods despite appreciable myelographic deformity. Although operation may arrest or improve the symptoms of cervical disc lesions and spondylosis, the ultimate confirmation that entrapped neural elements have been relieved permanently can only be provided by postoperative myelography. Preoperative and postoperative myelography documents the significant improvement that can be achieved by using posterolateral and posterior approaches to the cervical spine in patients with nerve root or spinal cord compression. The results in this group of patients were achieved with none of the disadvantages or complications of cervical spine fusion or of the interbody removal of cervical disc tissue, also leading to cervical fusion.

Object The authors report a series of 22 patients in whom major complications developed after cervical spinal manipulation therapy (CSMT). A second objective was to estimate the regional incidence of these complications and to compare it with the very low incidences reported in the literature. Methods During a 5-year period, practioners at a single group neurosurgical practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma, treated 22 patients, who were markedly worse during, or immediately after, CSMT. The details of these cases are reported. The 1995 US Government National Census was used to define the regional referral population for Tulsa. The published data regarding the incidence of serious CSMT-related complications and the rate of CSMTs undertaken nationally were used to estimate the expected number of CSMT-related complications in the authors' region. The number (22 cases) reported in this series was used to estimate the actual regional incidence. Complications in the series included radiculopathy (21 cases), myelopathy (11 cases), Brown–Séquard syndrome (two cases), and vertebral artery (VA) occlusion (one case). Twenty-one patients underwent surgery. Poor outcomes were observed in three, outcome was unchanged in one, and 17 improved. The number of patients in this series exceeded the expected number for the region. Conclusions Cervical spinal manipulation therapy may worsen preexisting cervical disc herniation or cause disc herniation resulting in radiculopathy, myelopathy, or VA compression. In cases of cervical spondylosis, CSMT may also worsen preexisting myelopathy or radiculopathy. Manipulation of the cervical spine may also be associated with higher complication rates than previously reported.
