Pain is a common occurrence after tooth extraction and is usually localized to the extraction site. However, clinical experience shows that patients may also have pain in the head or neck in the weeks after this procedure. The authors present a case representative of these findings. In the case, cranial and cervical somatic dysfunction in a patient who had undergone tooth extraction was resolved through the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment. This case emphasizes the need to include a dental history when evaluating head and neck pain as part of comprehensive osteopathic medical care. The case can also serve as a foundation for a detailed discussion regarding how to effectively incorporate osteopathic manipulative treatment into primary care practice for patients who present with head or neck pain after tooth extraction.
拔牙后疼痛很常见，通常局限于拔牙部位。然而，临床经验表明，患者在拔牙后的几周内也可能出现头部或颈部疼痛。作者展示了一个代表这些发现的病例。在此病例中，一名接受过拔牙手术的患者的颅骨和颈椎躯体功能障碍通过整骨手法治疗得以解决。该病例强调了在作为综合整骨医疗护理一部分评估头颈部疼痛时纳入牙科病史的必要性。该病例还可为详细讨论如何将整骨手法治疗有效纳入针对拔牙后出现头颈部疼痛患者的初级保健实践提供基础。
