Traumi da colpo di frusta alla colonna vertebrale: un trattamento osteopatico efficace “Craniosacral Therapy”
Whiplash injuries react well to craniosacral therapies.
Up to three months after a cervical whiplash, care must be taken by practicing atlanto-occipital relaxation, since it cannot be ruled out that the tooth of the 2nd cervical vertebra is sticking out.
In addition to the cervical spine, it is imperative to also examine the bodily structures above and below this and other distant structures, since the trauma was not only exposed to the cervical spine, but the entire patient. Effects on the thoracic and lumbar spine, on the sacrum and pelvis, on the paravertebral muscles, on the ligaments, on the bands, on the nerves, on the vases, as well as on the skull with the intracranial membranes, the cerebral vessels, the jugular foramen and the nervous system, etc., they are unpredictable.
A cervical traction is indicated and will be more effective if it is associated with an unwinding of the cervical spine.
Often, in a whiplash, the sacrum is also fixed to the pelvis and its delicate craniosacral movement is limited.
Furthermore, other dysfunctions may occur, uni sacroiliac or lumbosacral dysfunctions- or bilateral, as well as dysfunctions of the symphysis, with consequent limitation of the mobility of the legs, back and head. The solution of the ileosacral joint block, of the lumbosacral joint and other joints is of fundamental importance to treat whiplash.
