Exam 1 (Introduction) Flashcards
A knee like joint that transmits pressure at right angles, it has two arms that are hinged together at an angle. A force applied at the hinge, causing the angle to straighten, producing a much greater force at the ends of the arm.
Toggle
The vibratory or oscillatory motion of a system, due to the innate elasticity of that system, in response to the application of a force that continues until a new equilibrium is realized
Recoil
According to B.J. Palmer, what are the 4 elements of a true subluxation?
1) Occlusion of a opening
2) Vertebra out of alignment
3) Pressure on nervous tissue
4) Interference with the flow of mental impulses
How would B.J. Palmer describe a misalignment?
- Less than a subluxation
- Could be a vertebra out of place
- May show up on X-ray
- May have taut, tender nerve fibers
- May have contracted muscles
- May be found on dead as well as live bodies
How would B.J. Palmer describe a subluxation?
- More than a misalignment
- Does occlude a foramen
- Does produce pressure (irritation)
- Does offer interference
- Does create resistance
- Only exits in a LIVE body
B.J. Palmer said that if chiropractic works, it should work 100% of the time. What 4 things must be right to enable chiropractic to work 100% of the time
- Right adjustment
- Right place
- Right time
- Right manner
3 divisions of intelligence
- Universal
- Innate
- Educated
What divisions of intelligence can be labeled as source, semi-source, and non-source
- Universal (Source)
- Innate (Semi-source)
- Educated (Non-source)
What are B.J. Palmers 4 Fundamental Principles of the Toggle?
1) You must toggle your forces
2) You must recoil that toggle (when you reached your object, get away)
3) You must land your blow that it might affect the velocity of the mass
4) You must reduce friction by reduction of cleavage allowing the mass to move freer
