Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the effects of temporomandibular joint balancing therapy on a patient with a spinal accessory neuropathy. A patient reported sternocleidomastoid muscle and trapezius muscle weakness after self-massage. The patient was instructed to wear the Accurate Balancing Appliance (ABA) for at least 8 hours per day and maintain an upright posture. The patient received cervical spine manipulation on day 2, 4, and 6. The patient's progress was tracked based on the angle at which the head turned to the right from the midline when she lifted her head while lying down, as well as the muscle strength and pain in the right trapezius muscle. The patient recovered spontaneously after 7 days. The ABA and cervical spine manipulation assisted the patient in reducing fatigue and discomfort during daily activities.

본 증례의 환자는 자가 경부 마사지로 인한 척수부신경병증으로 경추부 근력 불균형 및 그에 따른 피로를 호소하였다. 자가 마사지로 인한 일시적 신경 압박은 7일에 걸쳐 자연 회복되었으며, 턱관절균형요법을 통해 자세와 척추 구조의 균형점을 회복시켜 환자의 피로와 자세 불균형을 개선할 수 있었다.
