Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different spinal rotation manipulations for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
Methods: From September 2011 to April 2013,180 patients diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation were randomly divided into seat fixed rotation group (A), lateral position rotation group (B) and supine position rotation group (C) by using a digital table. Finally 10 patients were excluded and dropped, 170 patients were included in the study.
This study investigates the effect of a new Chinese massage technique named "press-extension" on degenerative lumbar with disc herniation and facet joint dislocation, and provides a biomechanical explanation of this massage technique. Self-developed biomechanical software was used to establish a normal L1-S1 lumbar 3D FE model, which integrated the spine CT and MRI data-based anatomical structure. Then graphic technique is utilized to build a degenerative lumbar FE model with disc herniation and facet joint dislocation.

- The study aimed to compare the effects of manipulation versus traction combined with Nimodipine on blood flow velocity in the vertebrobasilar artery for patients with cervical vertigo.
- Seventy patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (manipulation) and a control group (traction and Nimodipine), with assessments made before and after three weeks of treatment.
- Results showed that the treatment group had significantly lower blood flow velocities and better vertigo scores compared to the control group, indicating that manipulation was more effective in treating cervical vertigo.
