Abstract/Notes

Objective/Clinical Features: Two patients presented at this office post-surgery for a cervical disc replacement and subsequent complications. A 30-year-old male presented at this office July-2016, 1½-years following C-5/6 disc replacement surgery for a ski-related injury with loss of sensation/function of his right 3rd-4th fingers. Three-months following surgery he felt fine but then noted significant pain in the right neck, scapula, and arm, and occasionally on the left.

A 52-year-old female who was suffering from significant neck pain, which radiated down her right arm to her second-third fingers with paresthesia and muscle weakness. Disc replacement surgery was performed April-2015 to the C5-C7 discs and initially her symptoms resolved and then returned with symptoms on the contralateral side.  Both patients had concomitant TMJ related disorders.

Intervention/Outcomes: Patient were treated with prone SOT pelvic block placement (category-one), intraoral cranial adjustments, and co-treated with a dentist immediately following care to balance a lower occlusal splint.  The 30-year-old male patient could hike and run for the first time in 3-years and the 52-year-old female patient had her VAS constant pain levels decreased from a 8-9/10 to 3/10, paresthesia significantly decreased with normal ranges-of-motion, and muscles strength had returned.

Conclusion: This case suggests a relationship between the patient’s TMJ disorder and cervical spine limited function and pain.
