Abstract/Notes

Atlanto-axial luxation was first described in 1830 and since that time over 200 cases have been reported in the world literature. All of these patients are at risk, either from minor trauma or from progressive cord myelopathy. Symptoms vary greatly and range from neck pains and stiffness to transient quadriparesis. Specific chiropractic adjustment was successfully employed in this instance, however, grave consequences could result if manipulative procedures were attempted without adequate x-ray studies.
