Abstract
The headaches and facial pains in individuals suffering from cervical discopathy occur in sympathetic areas, especially in the distr. of the external carotid artery and its branches to which arterial channels the preganglionic irritation effected by pathologic lesions of the cervical spine is transmitted. Stretching of the cervical spine by means of traction proved itself therapeutically effective in most of 47 patients suffering from headaches, craniofacial pains and dysesthesias of cervical origin.Keywords
