OMM Flashcards
Which two bones articulating mediate the primary respiratory mechanism?
Sphenoid and Occipital bones that make up the SBS
Why is Cervical HVLA contraindicated for RA patient?
Weak transverse lig of dens can cause Atlanto-axial subluxation

- Upper Thoracic
- Upper Rib
- OA
- Cervical spine

Ant. Lumbar Tenderpoints:
L1:
L2-L4:
L5:
Tx?
L1: medial to ASIS
L2-L4: on the AiiS
L5: Lateral to pubic symphysis

Tx: prone, extend hip, sidebend away
Thoracic Rule of 3’s
T1-T3: spinous process = transverse process
T4-T6: spinous process 1/2 way down between TP of adjacent vertebrae
T7-T9: spinous process at level of next vertebra’s TP
T10-T12: spinous process = transverse process
