Question 11

Arthritis. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 11

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness,

Direct - reflects to the affected area, improve blood, flow, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - adrenals to release cortisol for inflammation
Helper - kidney to remove waist such as uric acid

Question 12

Bursitis. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 12

An inflammation of the bursa, which affects joints in the shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, hands, and feet

Direct - reflects to the affected area, improve blood, flow, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - adrenals to release cortisol for inflammation

Question 13

Fracture. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 13

A partial or complete break of the bone

Direct - the reflex that represents the affected area. Do not work on the foot if the fracture is on the foot instead, referred to the hand.
Helper - adrenal to release Cortizone for inflammation

Question 14

Pain in the joints. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 14

Could be lifting, heavy objects, sitting in the same position for an extended period of time, injury, or having a disease

Direct - reflex to the affected area to improve blood flow, nerve, and oxygen supply
Helper - adrenals to release Cortizone for inflammation

Question 15

Ruptured or herniated disc. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 15

A condition in which the gelatinous central portion of the disc is forced through a weakened part of the disc.

Direct - reflects to the affected area on the spine
Helper - adrenal to release Cortizone for inflammation

Question 16

TMJ. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 16

TMJ is a displacement of the cartilage disc caused by clenching, grinding and trauma

Direct - Jaw
Helper - Adrenal to release cortisol for emotional and physical stress
Helper - Cervical and neck reflex to assist with the peripheral nerve that leads to the jaw
Helper - Solar plexus to help with stress

Question 17

Atrophy. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 17

Muscle fibers decrease due to a progressive loss of myofibrils

Direct - Reflects to the affected area to improve blood, flow, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - Adrenal to release adrenaline to relax, smooth muscles
Helper - Thyroid to release thyroxine to strengthen the muscle muscles

Question 18

Cramp or spasm. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 18

Prolonged painful, involuntary contraction of a skeletal muscle.

Direct - Leg to improve blood and nerve supply
Helper - Adrenal to release adrenaline to relax, smooth muscle

Question 19

Fibromyalgia. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 19

A debilitating, chronic syndrome characterized by specific muscle joint or bone pain, fatigue, and other symptoms

Direct - Reflects to the affected area to improve blood, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - Adrenal to release cortisol for fatigue and adrenaline for relaxing, smooth muscles
Helper - Pituitary for energy levels
Helper - Pineal gland to release, melatonin for sleep
Helper - Solar plexus to reduce stress
Helper - Thyroid to release thyroxine for muscle strength

Question 20

Fibrositis. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 20

Inflammation of the fibrosis, connecting tissue in muscles, mainly trunk and back

Direct - Spine and leg to improve blood flow nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - Adrenal to release cortisol for inflammation

Question 21

Muscular dystrophy. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 21

A group of genetic and hereditary muscle diseases, characterized by progressive, skeletal muscle, weakness, defects in muscle proteins and death of muscle cells and tissues

Direct - Reflects to the affected area to improve blood, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - Adrenal to release adrenaline to relax smooth muscles
Helper - thyroid to release thyroxine for muscle strength

Question 22

Sprain. Describe the pathology and the reflexes worked on

Answer 22

An injury to a ligament

Direct - Reflex to the affected area or referral area to improve blood, nerve and oxygen supply
Helper - adrenal to release cortisol for inflammation

Question 23
