levels of encroachment
adjustment/correction, change in musculoskeletal system, change in nervous system, change in organ dysfunction
5 component model of VSC
kinesiopathology
myopathology
histopathology
neuropathophysiology
pathophysiology
what is kinesiopathology
abnormal motion or position of spinal bones. difficulty turning and bending
what is myopathology
abnormal muscle function. they weaken or atrophy and result in scar tissue
what is histopathology
abnormal soft tissue function. changes in blood or lymph flow result in swelling. discs can bulge herniate or tear
what is neuropathology
abnormal nervous system function. improper spinal function can irritate nerve tissue can cause issues elsewhere in the body
what is pathophysiology
abnormal function of the spine and body. abnormal bony growths attempt to fuse malfunctioning spinal joints
what is dyskinesia
impairment of voluntary movement
what is dysponesis
reversible physiopathologic state consisting of unnoticed, misdirected neurophysiologic reactions to various agents. safety pin cycle
what is dysautonomia
neurophysiologic state reflecting abnormal balance between sympathetic/parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system
why do we have subluxations?
its a structural dysrelationship w associated neuropathological dysfunction. may contribute to disease or pathology
how much innate intelligence is there in every living thing?
100%. always normal
TFL’s:
common in lumbar region, decrease the functional S-I diameter of the IVF by one third
biomechanical evaluation
- mechanical etiologies: trauma, repetitive postural activities
- static asymmetries
- dynamic asymmetries
- passive and active individual joint ranges of motion
- imaging procedures: x ray, videoflouroscopy, static and stress views
what are the chiropractic doctrines
vitalism, holism, naturalism, humanism, conservatism, rationalism
