The authors have carried out clinical observation and treatment of 78 patients with cervical osteochondrosis with manifestations of hypermobility of the cervical spine. The complex of curative measures included administration of mild massage of the collar area and the upper extremities, stage-by-stage exercise therapy, distraction of the cervical spine according to a specially elaborated technique and acureflexotherapy (ART). A comparative analysis of efficiency of the treatment including ART and without it testified to considerable improvement of the results of the treatment in combination with ART.
