Principles 4 Flashcards
DD Palmer
founder of chiropractic (1895)
first to use short levers (spinous and TVP)
tone
nerves too tense or too slack
foundation of chiropractic is based on
nerve compression theory
causes of subluation are chemical, mechanical and psychic
innate intelligence
coined the term innate from Christianity
DD Palmer learned chiropractic from?
eastern european bone setters
chiropractic philosophy is based upon
the principle of structure (spinal column) to function (NS for healing)
innate is simiilar to
homeostasis (self regulating and self healing)
vitalism
suggests the body requires something greather than physical and chemical processes to function
BJ palmer
developer of chiropractic introduced neurocalometer meric chart of nerve testing HIO technique cord compression theory
neruocalometer
hand held instrument used to detct heat imbalances
HIO technique
C1 or C2 are capable of subluxating and producing significant probles
carver
subluxations are from abnormal biomechanics caused by muscle imbalance in a weight earing spine
pelvic distortion model
pelvic distortion model
basic distortion of the spine starts in pelvis
gillet
considers the process of mechanical joint dysfunction through three different phases of joint fixation: muscular, ligamentous, articular.
he maintains that ligamentous or articular fixation are the most significant
faye
fixation theory of joint typermobility
hahnemann
father of homeopathy
homeoopathy
treats patients with heavily diluted preparations which are thought to cause effects similar to the symptoms presented
hippocrates
father of modern medicine
first to manipulate
illi
joint hypermobility; described SI movement and pelvic dynamics.
discovered/tested SI ligaments
kirkaldy willis
presents a pattern of spinal degeneration founded on the principle that spinal degeneration often begins with local mechanical derangement in the absence of structural alteraltion
process is often initiated with development of individual motion segment dysfunction secondary to alteration in segmental muscle tone and function
joint hypermobility is speculated to?
initiate the degenerative cycle through development of altered segmental biomechanics
if this persists this leads to local joint instability
if derangement is of significant magnitude, osseous strucural alteration occurs and degeneration of the joint is radiographically visible
3 phase model of instability
dysfuction
unstable
stabilization (joint hypermobility, instability, degeneration)
korr
segmental facilitation theory
established the concept of subluxation creating a hyperactive nervous system rather than a decrease in nerve impulses
muscle is central to his theory
logan
founder of logan basic technique
sacrum as keystone to spine and first to use heel lifts
selye
general aaptation syndrome states under optimum conditions the body can respond to stressors
stephenson
wrote chiropractic textbook
identified 33 principles of chiropractic and safety spin cyel
still, andrew tayler
founder of osteopathy; related the integrity of the spine and skeleton to the proper functioning of the circulatory system
weed, samuel
named chiropractic
gonstead
all subluxations are posterior
cox
flexion/distraction (disc)
dejarnette
SOT
CSF flow
grostic
UC technique
chiropractic paradigm
body is self regulating ad self healing organsim
nervous system is the master system that regulates and controls all other organs and tissues tnd relates the individual to their environment
spinal biomechanical dysfunction in the form of vertebral subluxation complex may adversely affect the nervous system’s ability to regulate function
central focus of chiropractic is to optimize patient health by correcting, managing or minimizing vertebral subluxation through chiropractic spinal adjustment
