Abstract:
A 24-yr-old woman suffering from traumatic spinal myoclonus which occurred after a diving injury, and which had not responded to pharmacotherapy, apparently resolved after treatment by manipulation of the spine. Mechanisms of the etiology of myoclonus are discussed, and theoretical mechanisms for the use of manipulative procedures in the management of traumatic spinal myoclonus are advanced.
