Chapmans Points Flashcards

1
Q

Chapman’s Reflex Points

A

Gangliform contraction that may block lymphatic drainage, causing inflammation in distal tissues

Often described as a “nodule”

Believed to be part of sympathetic dysfunction

Found in regions which overlap with visceral sympathetic efferent innervation

A

Diagnosis

Influencing the motion of fluids, mostly lymph

Influencing visceral function through the peripheral nervous system

Q

Gangliform vs ganglion

A
  • gangliform – not a nerve and not a cyst; but it is a rounded contraction
  • ganglion – part of a nerve, or ganglion cyst

Q

Anterior Points Don’t?

A

Radiate

Ex: Excessive input from a viscera of the head or neck produces facilitation of the upper thoracic cord segs and results in reflex stim of somatic tissues innervated by T1-4 (viscero-somatic reflex). Palpatory changes in the upper thoracic and cervical paraspinal tissues as well as traditional Chapman’s reflex locations therefore indicate incr functional activity of the sympathetic nervous system in this region.
