Q

What is the proposed for the pathophysiology of chapman’s reflexes?

A
  • SDs of the pelvis impair blood supply to the endocrine organs,
  • Retention of “toxins”
  • Local lymph stasis results in nerve irritation, leading to TTP on the body surface

Ph-irst rib

21
Q

Posterior= right transverse process of T11

29
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: bladder?

A

At the umbilicus

30
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: ovaries

A

Lateral to the pubic symphysis

31
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: prostate?

A

On top of the IT band in its midline

32
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: all of the right side of the large intestines?

A

Right femur

33
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: all of the left side of the large intestines?

A

Left femur

34
Q

What is the Chapman reflex for: rectum?

A

Lesser trochanter bilaterally

35
Q

What are the collateral ganglia?

A
  • Celiac
  • Superior mesenteric
  • Inferior mesenteric
36
Q

What nerve activity can produce palpable tissue changes at collateral ganglia?

A

Visceral afferent activity

37
Q

What spinal levels contribute to the celiac ganglion? What organs does this supply?

A
  • T5-T9

- Distal esophagus to the proximal duodenum and head of the pancreas

38
Q

What are the spinal levels that contribute to the innervation of the superior mesenteric ganglion? What organs does this supply?

A
  • T10-T11

- Distal duodenum to the proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon

39
Q

What are the spinal levels that contribute to the innervation of the inferior mesenteric ganglion? What organs does this supply?

A
  • T12-L2

- Distal 1/3 of transverse colon to the rectum

40
Q

Where is the inferior ganglion located?

A

At the umbilicus

41
Q

Where is the superior mesenteric ganglion located?

A

Located 1/2 between the xiphoid and umbilicus

42
Q

Where is the celiac ganglion located?

A

Just inferior to the xiphoid

43
Q

True or false: pregnancy is a contraindication to the treatment of collateral ganglia

A

True

44
Q

How do you evaluate the collateral ganglion?

A

Both hands are placed over the midline of the abdomen, spreading them equally from the xiphoids and the umbilicus

“objective” sensation of a rapid increase in resistance to pressure
OR
subjective complaint of increased TTP

45
Q

How do you treat via ganglia inhibition?

A

Fingers over the collateral ganglia placed over the midline, with pressure that matches the tissue tension

  • pt maintains pressure with small inhale
  • Repeat until Relaxation of the tension is
46
Q

What causes the TTP associated with Chapman’s points?

A

Local lymph stasis results in nerve irritation

47
Q

What should be done prior to treating specific Chapman reflexes?

A

Balance the MS system first
