Chiro principles Flashcards
Disease arises from ___ sources
endogenous
* the internal system can not longer maintain homeostatic control
Chiropractic= study of problems of head and disease from ____ POV
structural
(3) aspects of hemeostatic mechanisms
- bd’s tendency to maintain steady state despite external changes
- physiological stability
- NS and its interplay with endocrine system
Name 4 forms of kinesiologic dysfunction
- hypomobility
- hypermobility
- Aberrant motion- form of regional instbility (ex: scoliosis)
- compensatory hypermobility
____: segments above and below a dysfunctional jt needs to move more to support non-functioning segments
compensatory hypermobility
____: some form of regional instability (ex: scoliosis)
aberrent motion
give 2 forms of neurologic dysfunction
- dysafferentation
2. N compression
what are the 3 primary models of subluxation
- intervertebral encroachment
- altered somatic afferent input (MC talked about)
- Dentate lig/ cord distortion
____ pressure on neural contents in IVF may disrupt normal inflow and outflow of N impulses
Intervertebral encroachment
aka: neural compression/ traction models
___: mechanical compression of normal spinal N roots at surgery produces
- sensory and motor impairment without pn
Spinal N compression effects
classic radicular pn
Dentate lig/ cord distortion:____
(BJ Palmer) only C0-C1 and C1-C2 sublux constituted major subluxations
* capable of compressing the SC
What type of subluxation model would “referred pn from an organ” and Meric system fall under
viscerosomatic reflex model
manipulation in correction of migraines would fall under the ___ model of sublux.
vascular insufficiency model
Name some s/s of VBAI
ataxia diplopia dizzy drop attacks dysarthria dysphagia fall to one side nausea nystagmus vomiting
Axonal aberration/ trophic models:
• axoplasmic transport may be altered→ DRG, spinal N roots, or spinal Ns are compressed or irritated by subluxation
