“…Firstly, the spasmodic muscles around the neck were treated by tuina with release manipulation, and then the dislocation of the atlantoaxial joint was adjusted by directional elevation, then the tuina combined with atlantoaxial directional inverted reduction technique was used to adjust the atlantoaxial directional inverted reduction. [ 4 ] The specific operations are as follows: First, rotate the head clockwise to the maximum angle, the left middle finger hooks the spine process to the left, the hypothenar supports the occipital, the right palm supports the mandibular, tilts up to the limit, do a slight upward flash. Then turn the head counterclockwise to the maximum angle, press the right side of the spine process with the right thumb of the right hand, support the occipital part of the thenar, support the mandible with the left palm, tilt up to the limit, and do a slight upward flash.…”

Introduction: Vertigo is the most common clinical complaint, misdiagnosed patients are not rare, so it is very important to exclude and identify vertigo. For vertigo caused by multiple causes, including cervical vertigo with atlantoaxial rotation fixation combined with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), tuina can correct joint misalignment. The reduction technique will return the fallen otolith to the correct position. The use of massage and reduction can improve clinical symptoms and improve quality of life and may be a simple, safe, and effective treatment strategy for this disease. Patient concerns: We report on a patient with both cervical vertigo due to atlantoaxial rotational fixation and BPPV, including his imaging examination, clinical manifestations, and treatment methods. Diagnosis: Cervical vertigo (atlantoaxial rotatory fixation) and BPPV. Intervention: Tuina combined with atlantoaxial directional inverted reduction technique and reduction manipulation. Outcomes: The patient’s vertigo symptoms improved significantly, nystagmus disappeared, cervical occipital pain, nausea, head distension, and other symptoms disappeared, and cervical motion rotation reached 60°. Conclusion: This study proved the effectiveness of massage combined with a reduction in the treatment of cervical vertigo and BPPV, as well as the importance of vertigo diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and provided a new treatment idea for the future diagnosis and treatment of vertigo caused by a variety of causes.
