title: [Effect of manual therapy on blood pressure in hypertensives with cervical osteochondrosis].
abstract: The efficacy of drug (inderal, corinfar) treatment in combination with manual therapy (the course was 4-7 sessions) was examined in hypertensives with cervical osteochondrosis. The latter was evidenced by X-ray studies. Clinically, cervical osteochondrosis appeared as vertebrobasilar insufficiency. The vertebral artery bed displayed circulatory disorders documented by rheoencephalography, electroencephalography, ultrasound Doppler echography of the head and neck vessels. Treating the patients with drugs in combination with manual therapy resulted in improved circulation in the vertebral artery bed, lower clinical signs of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. There was a more persistent and more pronounced decrease in blood pressure with small-dose antihypertensive agents.
