Abstract
A therapeutic method for treating a neurological disease by evaluating and correcting an abnormal neuraxial angle that cause abnormal biomechanically induced neuraxial stress and strain.
Claims14
A method for treating a neurological disorder comprising the steps of:
- a) determining a neuraxial angle;
- b) determining a neuraxial stress based on said neuraxial angle;
- c) determining whether said neurological disorder is attributed in part to said neuraxial stress;
- and
- d) surgically treating said neurological disorder by reducing the neuraxial stress, and wherein step (d) is performed when the neuraxial angle or a clivo-axial angle is less than about 135°.
