Q

CSF and memory

A

CSF flushes out memory imparing proteins away from the brain = helps memory

21
Q

OCMM tx otitis media vs antibiotics

A

OCMM can prevent long term damage of TM and scarring cauing reduced hearing
= fewed GI problems
= lower ICU stay of premature newborns

22
Q

OCMM plagiocephaly

A

Reduced the plagiocephaly and (alternative to helmet therapy)

23
Q

Neurologic system and OCMM

A

Reduced dizziness and imporved balance in geriatrics , sleep better in college students

24
Q

Occipital Condylar Decompression is used for when

A
  1. Poor infant feeding
    2 .Infant colic
    3.. head and neck pain
  2. Post trauma to head or neck
25
Q

Occipital Condylar Decompression with age

A

Before 7yo : cartilaginous pre-ossification strain

ADULT : post fusion fascial or interosseous strain

26
Q

Occipital Condylar Decompression is done how

A
  1. Contact near foramen magnum and condyles
  2. Add OA flexion
  3. Apply traction (pull posterior and lateral
  4. Feel occipital release in tissue
27
Q

Balanced Membranous Tension is used for

A
  1. Asymmetric or low CRI
  2. CN entrapment
  3. Dural strain or venous sinusus
  4. Headaches
28
Q

Balanced Membranous Tension is done how

A
  1. Exaggerate membranous asymmetry until sense of balance in noted (INDIRECT) = CRI will wiggle or move against force however hold against it
  2. Hold until CRI stops at a still point
  3. Return to CRI midpoint
  4. Recheck motion and symmetry
29
Q

SBS Decompression is used for

A
  1. Low CRI (lifeless head)
  2. Mood disorders
  3. Cranial N Entrapment
  4. URI / head congestion
  5. Pediatric developmental problems
30
Q

SBS Decompression is done how INDIRECT

A

BMT compression and then release

31
Q

SBS Decompression is done how DIRECT

A
  1. Engage frontal bones and pull away from occiput
    (Pull anterior and superior )
  2. Other handin holding occiput under head
  3. Feel release and tehn reasess CRI and amplitude
32
Q

Frontal Lift is done when

A
  1. Restricted fronal motion
  2. SBS flexion
  3. Frontal headaches
  4. Sinus congestion
  5. Ped development problems
33
Q

Frontal lift is done how

A
  1. Gently engage lateral inferior edge of frontal bone (hook under zygomatic arch)
  2. Anterior force with some rotation torque to release
  3. Reasses frontla mobility
34
Q

Parietal Lift is for what

A
  1. TMJ
  2. Headaches
  3. Trauma bumping head (parietal squamous suture compressed)
  4. Grinding clinching teeth
35
Q

Parietal Lift is doe

A

Parietal traction until superior release

36
Q

Pterigo (Spheno) palatine Gangion inhibition stimulation is done how

A
  1. Posterior and lateral to upper molars push there superior and medial
  2. Medial to pterygoid
  3. Hold and wait relaxation = shutting off the ganglion

Q

V-Spread

A

Release suture restriciton

43

46
Q

CV4 still point induction

A

Inducing still point

  1. Thenar eminences under head compresses lateral sutures and in extension (squeeze some CSF from cV4 out)
