Q

Corollary Principles/Precepts

A
  1. When normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self-maintenance, disease may ensue
  2. Movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health
  3. The nervous system plays a crucial part in controlling the body
  4. There are somatic components to disease that not only are manifestations of disease but also are factors that contribute to maintenance of the diseased state

41
Q

OMT: Biomechanical Approach

A

decrease muscle spasms/contracture, joint

restriction, and to normalize joint mechanics.

42
Q

OMT: A Neurologic Approach

A

to balance autonomic tone by
removing any restrictions that may be compressing or affecting
the nervous system

43
Q

Inflammation is a powerful stimulator

of

A

local nociceptors

44
Q

convergence of visceral
nociceptors with the nociceptors from
all somatic tissues produce several
clinical effects:

A

• Referred pain
• Segmental facilitation at the spinal cord
level

45
Q

• Referred pain
• Segmental facilitation at the spinal cord
level

produced by

A

convergence of visceral
nociceptors with the nociceptors from

46
Q

Vicerosomatic Reflexes

A
convergence of visceral
nociceptors with the nociceptors from
all somatic tissues produces several

When a dysfunction is corrected it will tend to return to a dysfunctional state.

A

within 24 hrs until the cause of the reflex is

corrected

Q

How to Help balance SNS autonomic tone

A
• Addresses T1-L2 along sympathetic chain ganglion
corresponding to the level of the reflex
- Inhibitory pressure
- Soft tissue myofascial release
- Rib raising
- Ganglion release
59
Q

OMT for parasympathetic innervation

A

• Vagus – CN X – Address the occipital and
the upper cervical region as reflex can lead to
dysfunctions of the OM suture, OA, C1-3
• Suboccipital release

60
Q

OMT: Respiratory Circulatory model goal

A

• Goal is to improve respiratory and circulatory/
lymphatic flow.
1. improve the motion of the thoracic cage
2. addressing any diaphragm restrictions
3. promote fluid movement through pumps
• Increased respiration and circulation –> increase
oxygenation –> healthier tissues

61
Q

Doming the diaphragm and thoracic inlet

myofascial release techniques

A

are used to
improve diaphragmatic movement and
lymphatic drainage.

62
Q

The thoracic lymphatic pump with activation

  1. steps
  2. effect
A
  1. combines rhythmical compressions to the chest
    wall and the rapid removal of the hands from the
    chest wall during deep inhalation
  2. enhancing lymphatic circulation and
    triggering a sudden expansion of airways and
    alveoli.
63
Q

during thoracic pump, when rapid removal of the hands from the chest wall is done

A

during deep inhalation

64
Q

The pedal lymphatic pump

  1. steps
  2. effects
A
1. gently rocks the
patient in a superior-inferior rhythmical motion
while supine
2. to theoretically enhance lymphatic
circulation.
65
