Abstract:Cervical vertebral canal decompresion operation and conservative therapy was performed in 43 cases with cervical vertebral canal stenosis (CVCS). The results showed thatthe excellent and good rate of the nonsurgical therapy reached 61.1 %. The 'point-locatingStretch" chiropractic was introduced and the effectiveness on CVCS was stated. The principles of both treatments, including the mechanism, were based on the clinical pathology andthe cervical vertebrae stability. The concept of "mechanical adaptation inside vertebral canalsoft tissue" was put forward, while the relationship between the soft tissue lesion and cervical vertebra segmental instability was asserted. In conclusion, the conservative therapy isworthy of promoting where appropriate.
