This is a two and one half year report of a compressed and fractured
vertebrae from a traumatic spinal injury subsequent to a one and one half year report
previously published. The purpose of this study is to provide a non-manufactured drug,
non-surgical, Oriental, Occidental, Indian/Tibetan and Native American approach to
rehabilitation for a serious spinal injury. Besides stainless steel acupuncture needles
used as emergency pain relief, the only material used was the mind, breath, body
movement and posture positions. The method was based upon a variety of traditional
cultural techniques as well as modern physical exercises for rehabilitation and a
scientific case based pattern of reactivity from a Post Traumatic Shock Disorder
(PTSD). Daily progress notes over a year and one half, and an understanding of
Oriental, Occidental, Euro-American, Native American and Indian/Tibetan treatment
provided the framework for recovery. This chapter explores using the Native American
Indian practice of calling upon the animal spirit for healing, this is also a tradition in
ShaoLin Gung Fu five animal forms as a Qigong practice. These technique are
discussed here. The multiplicity of symptoms, changed constantly, arrhythmia, visceral
dysfunction, concussion, herniated disks, dislocated ribs, whiplash, cervical and lumbar
spine pain symptoms and emotional agitation.A quick recovery was followed by
constant regression based upon reactions to posture, weather, noise in environment,
travel and stress. It appeared that the effects of Post Traumatic Shock of anxiety,
apprehension, fear and agitation became the most difficult to treat and continued after
two years and one half year but at a more moderated occurrence.
