“The greater number of flat chests in patients under thirty years of age may be corrected. If the patient is above thirty, although complete correction may not always be accomplished, the results are satisfactory. Two to six months treatment is required.” =A “typhoid spine”= comes as a sequel to typhoid fever. There is constant pain, tenderness along the lumbar region and rise of temperature. The pain is generally increased when the spine is moved forward or sidewise. Such a condition is clearly understood by the osteopath. There are always found distinct vertebral lesions along the region that is tender on pressure. In fact these very lesions may have been the predisposing cause of the attack of typhoid fever. The treatment is rest and the indicated manipulation to correct the derangements. It is of great interest to note that where the typhoid patient is treated osteopathically the condition just described seldom results. Observations by C. M. T. Hulett confirm this statement. The =Neurotic Spine= may be the result of injury but the subject is usually of a nervous, neurasthenic type. It occurs from the age of puberty to adult, much more often in females than males. The patient has dull pain in the back of the neck or in the lumbar or sacral region, complains of a constant tired feeling and often of a sharp neuralgic pain in certain parts of the spine. Generally there is a drooping posture in the upper dorsal with shoulders thrown forward, which is a sign of weakness. There is extreme tenderness along the spine and usually the pain is confined to the sensitive places. Treatment consists of a constitutional toning up, and increasing muscular strength through judicious exercise. The posterior curve may be pushed toward the median line by laying the patient on the face; also with the knee in the back and the flat of both hands on the sternal ends raise the ribs; or by the arms making use of the pectoral muscles accomplish the same result. Deep breathing is also effective. Relief can usually be given and a cure will depend upon the patient’s general condition. The =Hysterical Spine= is usually considered the same as the neurotic spine, but there are many cases which have the sensitive spine without being hysterical. There is more deformity usually present, particularly in the lumbar region. Probably there will be a history of some injury.
