When Anomalies Contraindicate Spinal Manipulation

Osseous manipulation is an extremely safe procedure if administered properly but there are circumstances where potential risks could be involved. A study of 3519 spine films identified numerous congenital anomalies that were worth noting and may represent contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy. In the cervical spine films alone (n=2814) 21.3% had posterior ponticles and a total of 28.5% of the cervical films demonstrated some kind of anomalous bone formation. In keeping with the chiropractic profession’s standards for patient safety, these anomalies should be considered carefully.
