ABSTRACT
Neck pain is a common problem associated with considerable comorbidities, disability and cost to society. Spinal manual therapy is commonly used to treat this condition, and some countries recommend it as a treatment option in their clinical guidelines, since it is generally believed to be a safe and effective method for physicians to use to relieve neck pain. However, the non-invasive and frequently medication-free manipulation manoeuvres can potentially lead to severe adverse effects. This study presents a case of cervical radiculopathy related to cervical manual therapy applied during a training course.
