[Report on the results achieved over the past 10 years in the neuro-orthopaedic out-patient department (author's transl)].

A short abstract of the pathophysiology of pain and its conduction is followed by a discussion of the importance of neurological-orthopaedic cooperation for the diagnosis and the treatment of pain syndromes arising from the locomotor apparatus. The examination of the spine from the functional, i.e. segmental point of view is pointed out. The main reflex answer of the spine to irritation is the restriction of movement or hypermobility. Therefore, neuro-orthopaedic reflex treatment consists of so-called "test treatment" by means of manipulation to overcome the restriction of movement or by local curative anaesthesia, or by a combination of both methods. The results over the past decade of treatment in 1008 patients suffering from various pain syndromes are presented and differentiated.
