Abnormal Cervical Facet Orientation and Congenital Stenosis: Case Reports and Biomechanical Implications—Illustrative Cases

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In patients with congenital cervical stenosis, the addition of abnormal cervical facet orientation (horizontal or hypoplastic joints) may predispose to segmental instability, subluxation, and canal compromise. Full assessment of facet anatomy is essential pre‐operatively, as selected patients (e.g., those with demonstrable subluxation, widened

Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, Volume 18, Issue 7, Page 723-734, July 2026.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar
