The Lesion
Osteopathic Lesion
Any structural perversion which produces or maintains functional disturbance.
Maladjustment which ultimately causes an injury to tissues or it is an etiological factor in the production of disease and manifests pathological effects.
Result of an injury and as such presents certain signs and symptoms.
Counterbalancing lesions
Same type as the primary lesion, that is a rotations lesion to the right will induce a rotation lesion to the left in a vertera bove. The induced or secondary lesion has for it’s purpose restoration of normal balance and therefore lacks many of the characteristics of the primary lesion.
Secondary Lesion diagnosis
Appearance when at rest of a lesion to the opposite side and the presence of unrestricted motion in the joint when subjected to experimental palpation
Lovett’s book on the spine
Lateral Curvature of the Spine and Round Shouldres (1907)
Movements of the spine
Flexion, extension and coupled side-bending and rotation
Sidebending in the erect position
Rotation accompanying side bending in the erect position - side bending causes rotation of the bodies of the vertebrae to the concave side of the lateral curve
Sidebending in the Hyperextended Position of the Spine
SB becomes a sharply limited movement, localized low down in the spine and occurring almost wholly below the 11th dorsal vertebra, becoming a lumbar movement. Dorsal region bends as a whole upon the lumbar and rocks over to the side practically unchanged, being locked against side bending by the hyperextended position of the spine.
SB in a flexed position
- More involvement in the dorsal region that the lumbar region
Sidebending occurs higher in the spine in flexion than in any other position. The more marked and flexed position, the higher in the spine is the side bending localized
Rotation accompanying side bending in flexion
In a flexed position of the spine, side bending is accompanied by rotation of the vertebral bodies toward the convexity of the lateral curve. Occurs chiefly in the dorsal region
