    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Therapy

    Background:

    • Traumatic spinal myoclonus is a rare condition often resistant to pharmacotherapy.
    • Diving injuries can lead to significant neurological complications, including myoclonus.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old female patient presented with traumatic spinal myoclonus following a diving injury.
    • Conventional pharmacotherapy had proven ineffective in managing her symptoms.

    Findings:

    • The patient's myoclonus symptoms reportedly resolved after undergoing spinal manipulation therapy.
    • This suggests a potential therapeutic role for manipulative procedures in specific cases.

    Implications:

    • Spinal manipulation may offer an alternative treatment avenue for traumatic spinal myoclonus.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and efficacy of this approach.
