- History
- Examination–> visualization, Posture, ROM, Leg check, Ortho-Neuro…
- Instrumentation
- Static and Motion Palpation
- Diagnostic Imaging if warrented
- Dx and Prognosis
- Treatment
How are Chiropractic X-rays taken?
- weight bearing
- take A–P and analyzed from P-A
What is chiropractic analysis referred to as?
spinography
T/F. We see the subluxation on an xray
FALSE– we DO NOT see subluxation on x-ray
What does X-ray fall under for the VSC?
- Kinesiopathology–> relative position
- Histopathology–> osteological changes
What does X-ray fall under for the PART system?
A- asymmetry/misalignment
R- range of motion
What can we gather for a lateral cervical view?
Occiput–> AS or PS
Atlas–> AS or AI
C2-C7–> P
What line goes through where occipital condyle meets the skull and where the occiput starts to curve up?
Foramen Magnum Line (FML)
What line goes from base of anterior tubercle through narrowest portion of posterior arch?
Atlas Plane Line
What are all the line marked on the Lateral Cervical film?
FML APL OL OPL LL BL
What line goes form top of odontoid (but not tip) to base of the dens?
Odontoid Line (OL)
What line goes perpendicular off the Odontoid line?
Odontoid perpendicular line (OPL)
What does it mean if the FML and the APL are diverging posteriorly?
Occiput is a PS
What does it mean if the FML and APL are diverging anteriolry?
AS occiput
What does it mean if the OPL and APL are diverging anteriorly?
AS atlas
What does it mean if the POL and APL are convering anteriorly?
AI atlas
If the C5 disc plane line crosses over the C6 line, what does this mean?
C5 gets a P listing
LL– C5
BL– C6
