Abstract
Although there is an abundance of material in the literature regarding manipulation under anesthesia for the lumbar spine, there is little c oncerning the cervical spine. This article discusses a case of traumat ically induced cervical disk syndrome accompanied by degenerative disk and joint disease that resolved after a series of manipulations to th e cervical spine under anesthesia. Indications for the procedure are p resented as well as a description of the procedure.
