The Orthopaedic division is pleased to provide access for its members to the Cervical Manipulation Information Sheet (CMIS). The document is now available on the Documents for Download page of the members only section of the OD website and can be downloaded in a pdf format.
The CMIS is an evidence based tool created for clinicians. In order for informed consent to be valid when administering a cervical manipulation, certain information must be communicated. The CMIS is designed to help guide one through all of the pertinent information. In addition, the CMIS contains literature references for clinical predictors for those likely to respond to cervical manipulation or those likely to have an adverse event. As well, treatment outcomes regarding both effectiveness of cervical manipulation and adverse events are provided. This additional information will serve to help the clinician in the critical reasoning process when deciding whether a cervical manipulation is an appropriate technique for each patient. The references in the CMIS are current as of October 2008. It will be updated on a yearly basis or as new information is published.
