Kaeser HE, Ettlin T. 

“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.”
