subject: Pediatric Adverse Procedures with Spinal Treatment [print this page] A lot of physical therapists take care of pediatric patients with growing promptness, and also there are some proofs which show that chiropractic care may help pediatric patients. With patients having any age, the treatment risk-benefit ratio of intercessions is vital. Up till now, very few severe episodes resulting from PSMT (Pediatric Spinal Manipulative Therapy) have been accounted in literature. The accessible literature advocates that risk of vertebrobasilar or neurological injury caused by PSMT is about 1 in 250 million operations. Though, there haven't been any studies available on large legion of the patients to more precisely review having such downbeat side effects.
The study was a fair review of 781 different pediatric cases having age of not more than 3 years, presenting to Anglo-European College for Chiropractic teaching clinic among January 2002 to December 2004. There were no elimination criterions. Information from every file was pulled out through recording number of treatments established, type of treatment managed, result of treatment, and any adverse or negative events. The treatment type was classified as follows:
PSMT for in excess of one pelvis or spinal region
PSMT for the lumbar spine, cervical, or thoracic
PSMT for the pelvis
Occipital-sacral decompression method
Upper end treatment
Lower end treatment
Massage as well as soft tissue work
"other" - if any treatment not fitted in the beyond categories (here the most common was instrument treatment)
Treatment results were considered by parent symptom change report (improving, worsening or no change). Harmful side effects were inferred from parent observations, and were classified as any unfavorable reaction which was mild, temporary and long-lasting.
