Q

Biomechanical Model OMT Techniques

A

Objective: Optimize patient’s adaptive potential through restoring structural integrity & functio

  1. Assess patient for structure abnormality (somatic dysfunction)
  2. Use OMT to correct somatic dysfunction = patient regains associated structural, vascular, neurologic, metabolic, & behavioral functions.

EX) Whiplash

Q

Biomechanical Dysfunctions

A

Structural impediment via dysfunction of muscles, joints, connective tissue

  • Can compromise vascular or neurological structures
  • ↓↓↓ patient’s homeostatic capacity (Patient’s ability to adapt to insults & stressors)

Q

Respiratory-Circulatory Peripheral Processes

A

Delivery of oxygen & nutrients
Removal of cellular waste products via

  1. Arterial supply
  2. Venous & lymphatic drainage
17
Q

Respiratory-Circulatory OMT Techniques

A

Objective: Maximize capacity & efficiency of respiratory- circulatory functions

OMT addresses dysfunction in:

  1. Respiratory mechanics
  2. Circulation
  3. Flow of body fluids

Ex) Pneumonia

18
Q

Neurological Model OMM

A

There is a relationship between somatic & visceral autonomic systems

This model consides the neuroendocrine immune network by:

Spinal facilitation
Proprioceptive function
– Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
– Activity of nociceptors (pain fibers)

19
Q

Neurological Model OMT Methods

A

Objective: re-establish optimal neural function

  • Attain autonomic balance
  • Address neural reflex activity
  • Remove facilitated segments
  • ↓↓↓ afferent nerve signals
  • pain relief

OMT focuses on:

  • ↓↓ of mechanical stresses
  • Balance of neural inputs
  • Elimination of nociceptive drive
20
Q

Neurological Model Example

A

example: patient with peristalsis (lack of intestinal motion) after surgery

OMT focus:

  • release paraspinal tensions & spasms

= ↓ sympathetic hyperactivity & ↑↑↑ parasympathetic activity

= Restoring normal intestinal motility

21
Q

Metabolic-Energy Model OMT

A

Model requires energy-efficient response to infectious agents & repair of injuries

OMT REPAIRS SOMATIC DYSFUNCTION = OPTIMAL ENERY ECONOMY

  • Adequate nutrition = normal biochemical processes, cellular functions, & neuromusculoskeletal activity
  • INJURY (somatic disfunction) to musculoskeletal system burdens body’s energy economy
    1. Dysregulate production, distribution, or expenditure of energy
    2. Increase allostatic load
    3. Interfere w/ immunological & endocrine regulatory functions
22
Q

Behavioral Model OMT

A

Objective: improve body’s ability to effectively manage, compensate, or adapt to stressors (maximizing coping abilities)

  • Musculoskeletal system can express emotions
  • Stress = ↑↑↑ neuromuscular tension

OMT: Somatic dysfunction affects musculoskeletal system’s reaction to biopsychosocial stressors

Provide patient education on:

  • Health
  • Disease & lifestyle choices
  • Mental outlook
  • Preventative care
  • Helps Patient Trust/ build Rapport
23
Q

Neuroendocrine-Immune System Response

A

body has homeostatic rhythms (maintain appropriate changes necessary for promoting survival)

  • immune response sensitizes the PAN = to ↑↑ release of neurotransmitters & neuromodulators
    • Activation of primary afferent nociceptor (PAN) and release of pro-inflammatory compounds into surrounding tissue
    • Repetitive stimuli = PANs to be ↑ sensitive to low thresholds of energy
  • = greater pain sensation: primary hyperalgesia
  • = Allodynia: non-noxious stimuli elicits sensation of pain– Neurogenic inflammation
24
Q

The Arousal System and Sickness Behaviours

A

Triggers of the arousal system:

  1. Somatic dysfunction (stress)
  2. Visceral dysfunction (stressors)
  3. Emotional dysfunction (stress)

Leads to Sickness Behaviour (Changes in Acute-Phase Response)

25
Q

Neuroendocrine-Immune Network

A

Physical (somatic or visceral) & Emotional stimuli triggers the arousal system = impacted homeostasis

via triggering strong synpathetic response = release of adrenal cortical steroid hormones

NEURAL and ENDOCRINE systems interact with IMMUNE system

= ↑↑↑ cytokines, cortisol, & catecholamines

26
Q

Homeostasis

A

Tendency of the body to seek and maintain a condition of balance or equilibrium within its internal environment, even when faced with external changes

27
Q

Allostasis

A

Maintenance of stability through change: bring the body back to homeostasis

Disease processes will ACTIVATE allostatic response

  • As threat diminishes, feedback control systems should suppress levels of allostatic compounds
    • = returning body to normal function
28
Q

Allostasis Arousal System

A
29
Q

Somatic stressors

A

trauma or injury including somatic dysfunction

30
Q

Visceral stressors

A

traumatic injury, infection, or inflammation of visceral organs

• More subtle, diet-related events

31
Q

Emotional stressors

A

STRESS RESPONSE

Frequent activation of stress response =

  • damages body chronically through activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis
  • Effects add up progressively (cumulative)
32
Q

Allostatic load

A

chronic compensatory state

price paid for chronic exposure to stress-mediated neuroendocrine adaptations

  • Long-term exposure to allostatic chemical environment (catecholamines, cortisol, cytokines)

Gradual loss of effectiveness of feedback pathways to reestablish normal homeostasis

33
Q

Allostatic Load Disease

A

Degenerative & inflammatory diseases may have roots in

this mechanism

– Correlated to increased occurrence of cardiovascular dx

– Memory & depression (central nervous system)

– Multiple, complex effects on immune system

34
