Abstract

Spinal manipulative therapy is frequently prescribed for back and neck pain. Though most persons practicing manipulation insist that spinal manipulative therapy is a safe treatment, serious complications could occur. It is essential to be aware of these complications in prescribing or practicing prreting manipulative therapy. We report one case of cauda equina syndrome caused by spinal manipulative therapy with review of literatures.
