title: [Significance of manual medicine for the otorhinolaryngologic practice. An example: hyoid bone tendopathy].
abstract: Pain syndromes in ENT and otoneurological disturbances are often caused by disturbances of the cervical spine. Most of these cervical-vertebra disorders in ENT are caused by functional disorders of the cervical spine and not by pathological-anatomical disturbances due to anatomical facts. The pathophysiological connections are demonstrated on the example of the tendopathy of the hyoid bone. Successful therapy of functional disorders of the cervical spine is based on the diagnostic methods and therapeutical techniques of Manual Medicine. The importance of cervical-vertebra-functional disorders and of Manual Medicine for oto-rhino-laryngology is emphasized.
