Q

Compression of Jugular foramen may cause what dysfunction?

A
  • Tongue motion → poor suck
  • Intestinal peristalsis → constipation, GERD, colic
  • SCM/Traps → torticollis

Q

If the temporal bone is rotated in an infant, what can occur?

Q

Which cranial bone is the most commonly dysfunctional in infants?

A

Occiput, resulting in:

Q

Why do infants have higher incidence of OM than adults?

A
  • Pacifier use and flattening and shortening of the eustachian tube
  • also internal rotation of the temporal bone
17
Q

How to treat OM with OMM?

A
  • thoracic inlet release
  • Galbreath or Periauricular drainage
  • If sympathetically treated use rib raising or upper thoracic soft tissue
18
Q

What is the most likely cause?

  • localized alopecia
  • spasm of SCM
  • fractured clavicle during birth
  • compression of right vagus n.
  • premature fusion of left lamboidal suture
A

Torticollis caused by spasm of SCM

19
Q

OMM for children with URI?

A
  • Lymphatics→ thoracic inlet
  • Sympathetic tx → T1-4
  • Parasympathetic → CN7
20
Q

Describe Bacterial sinusitis? OMM tx?

A
  • URI sx >10 days
  • URI improves then worsens
  • Fever/pururlent discharge >3 days with facial tenderness or HA
  • OMM treatment → lymphatics
21
Q

Asthma treatments OMM?

A
  • Parasympathetic → OA
  • Accessory mm or respiration → scalenes or SCM
  • C3-5 diaphragm
  • T1-12 and ribs
  • T2-7 sympathetic innervation
22
Q

  • Chapmans point tip of 12th rib
A

Inhalation dysfunction or ribs 2-10

24
Q

Parasympathetic OMT for upper GI?

A

Vagus (OA, AA)

25
Q

Parasympathetic OMM treatment for decending colon, sigmoid, rectum?

A

Pelvic splanchnic nerves S2-4

increases peristalsis

26
Q

Sympathetic treatment to Upper, middle, and lower GI tract?

A
  • celiac ganglion T5-9
  • Superior mesenteric ganglion T10-11
  • Inferior mesenteric ganglion T12-L2
  • decreases peristalsis

A
  • para: OA
  • symp: T5-9 (celiac ganglion)
  • diaphragm biomechanical
28
Q

How do you treat comstipation?

A
  • Sympathetic Superior and inferior mestneteric ganglion (T10-L2)
  • Sacral rock
29
Q

  • C2-5
  • T1-4
  • T10-L2
  • L3-5
A

T10-L2 (inferior mesenteric ganglion)
