CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR MANUAL MEDICINE PART 1
Manual medicine is perhaps the oldest
form of medicine known. Yet we must firmly establish motion examination
findings assessing the osteokinematic and arthrokinematic status of
joints. The proper assessment will be discussed in the next volume of
this set. Obviously a prudent history limited physical examination,
orthopedic, neurological and motion examination findings and the ruling
out of pathology by X-ray and special tests account for indications of
Manual Medicine. However, unless we understand the differential
diagnosis associated with the diseases of locomotion, which simulate a
manipulative lesion, manual manipulative medicine may inappropriately be
provided due to a finding of restriction (+ =
Positive Evidence for SMT). Thus these Diseases have
been divided into the Key Symptom Classification, which follows:

A Biomechanical
Expert would not mistake the basics of differential Diagnosis and treat
a pathomechanical condition whose etiology was disease and not
biomechanical altered joint dynamics.
Any ethical
MD, DC, or DO to
whom the treatment of Spinal Manipulative Manual Medicine is within
their training and license within the
United States
should use the above Key Symptom Disease Classification. True
physicians can determine chronic joint trauma superimposed over acquired
disease, combinations or pre-existent disease and disability with
subsequent acute trauma. In parts two and three of this series the
discussion will center on how to medically determine necessity for
manipulative medicine and the manipulative lesion. However this first
article is extremely important, as later there will be a series of three
cases of death associated with manual medicine where this examiner
worked on the actual malpractice cases. Finally, there will be an
article on the history of vascular accidents and compromise relative to
iatrogenic manual medicine. Understanding these first three will avoid
the pitfall associated with iatrogenic manual medicine.
