“After cervical sprain not only pain and
neuropsychological disturbances may occur, but
also the following sequelae: cervical dystonia, and
torticollis, dizziness, hearing loss for low
frequencies, dysphonia and globus.”
[Globus is a sensation of something stuck or of a
lump or tightness in the throat.]
“Except for dystonia the symptoms often
respond to manipulation of a blocked articulation
between occiput and atlas or axis and the third
cervical vertebra.”
