FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: versions of invention relate to medicine, methods of manual therapy of degenerative-dystrophic spinal diseases. First version of method involves exposure by distraction of spinal column (SC) and simultaneous transposition of injured vertebral motor segments (VMS) with further fixation in preset position. Transposition of each injured VMS in lumbar and/or thoracic spines are carried out simultaneously with distraction of SC by means of smooth shifting of injured VMS vertebra in required direction of action of fingers of working hand of doctor on spinous process (SP), during patient sitting with hands stop on bearing surface during slow deep breath with chest. Wherein other hand controls over patients chest movement by synchronous with breath lifting of patients chest with low pressure in area of costal arches upwards or application of doctors hand palm as reference point of direction of inhalation. Second version concerns action on cervical part of SC. Wherein transposition of each injured VMS in cervical spine is carried out simultaneously with distraction of SC by smooth shifting of injured VMS vertebra in required direction of action of fingers of working hand of doctor on spinous process during patient sitting in relaxed condition with hands stop on support surface. Wherein other hand is locking anatomically correct position of patients head in relation to SC. Distraction is carried out by exposing on head within nuchal line in cranial direction. Displacement of injured VMS vertebra in required direction can be performed also during patient sitting with head thrust on frontal surface on arranged one on another fists of hands, elbows bent to stop on support. Fixation of anatomically correct position of patients head in relation to SC and distraction are carried out by stretching in cranial direction and/or by single compensatory pressure at nuchal line area in cranial direction.
