Chiropractic Neurology Sacropelvic Flashcards
What are the the 5 Components of the Subluxation?
- Spinal Kinesiopathology
- Neuropathophysiology
- Myopathology
- Histopathology
- Pathophysiology
Define Spinal Kinesiopathology
abnormal motion or altered bony articulation
Define Neuropathophysiology
nerve dysfunction like paresthesia or hyperesthesia
Define myopathology
muscular changes like spasm and atrophy
Define histopathology
cellular dysfunction resulting in tissue changes
Define Pathophysiology
functional changes associated with or resulting from disease or injury
Describe the subluxation cascade (5)
- Subluxation occurs
- Nerve dysfunction results in
increased or decreased sensation,
pain - Muscles become flaccid or stiff
- Tissues become inflamed
- End organs dysfunction causing a
myriad of symptoms
SUBLUXATION LEADS TO: (6)
*Proprioception
*Pain response
*Cognition
*Muscle Function
*Reflex Patterns
*Autonomics
eyes/heart/lungs/
gut/sexual function
WHAT ARE THE 3 PRIMARY CAUSES OF SUBLUXATION
- TRAUMA (Physical or Mechanical Insult)
- TOXIN (External or Internal Chemical insult or imbalance)
- THOUGHT (Stress & Neurobiology) –thought patterns alter body chemistry
2 different nervous systems
- CNS
- PNS
What makes up the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
What makes up the PNS?
Extraspinal nerves
and the somatic and autonomic nervous systems
What makes up the somatic nervous system
Afferent nerves
Efferent nerves
Describe Afferent nerves
Afferent nerves carry info TO the CNS (ex. sensory)
Approach
Describe efferent nerves
Efferent nerves carry info AWAY from the CNS (ex. motor)
Exit the CNS “Away”
