Traumatic brain injury can disrupt the function of the brains waste removal system. When this occurs, toxic proteins may accumulate in the brain, setting the stage for the onset of Neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Learn about alternatives to opioids with this informative flyer. Safe long-term pain relief doesn't have to come in a prescription drug bottle. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends safer non-opioid approaches like manual therapy for the long-term treatment of most chronic pain (CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain; 2016).

 As an alternative to manual stretching, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using neural/visceral manipulation as a safe and effective intervention to increase neck range of motion of infants with congenital muscular torticollis. [Participants and Methods] Ten 4-month old infants with congenital muscular torticollis received eight sessions of neural/visceral manipulation administered for 30–50 minutes without observed pain. Specific palpation techniques addressed restricted tissue areas of neck, head, trunk and extremities. Neck rotation and lateral flexion were assessed by still photography and a computer program calculating ROM angles before, immediately following, and 4 months post intervention. Motor development and social competence were monitored over time using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and Bayley-III Social Emotional Scale. [Results] Results of analysis of variances revealed significant improvements in passive and active neck rotation and lateral flexion. Significant increases were also found on the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and Bayley-III Social-Emotional scale. [Conclusion] Neural/visceral manipulation can be used safely in infants with congenital muscular torticollis to improve neck range of motion.
