title: THE CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OF NECK INJURIES.
abstract: Previously a list of treatments which might be avoided in the care of simple neck sprains was published. The present discussion is with regard to treatment which may be used safely. The original discussion was to the effect that treatment should be avoided which aggravates the patient's pain. Now suggestions are made for treatment which should not produce iatrogenic trauma. This treatment has the advantage of reducing the financial cost to the injured person plus the medical advantage of shortening the period of treatment, reducing cost and disability.
