Sinus Flashcards
Sympathetic innervation of sinuses?
Pass through what?
T1-4
Cervical ganglia
Direction of force for Galbreath’s Technique?
Indication?
Anterior (forward), medial, and caudal traction
OM, INC barometric pressure
Maxillary sinus TP counterstrain location?
What action?
Inferior to infraorbital notch
Compress medially and lift
CV 4 technique?
Encourage occiput extension (moving anterior) Resist flexion (moving posterior)
Ant chapman point of sinus?
Superior aspect rib 2
What Chapman point located at the lower clavicle or 2nd rib?
Upper cervical spine?
Anterior Sinusitis
Posterior Sinusitis
Condylar decompression directions of force?
1 hand cradle occiput
Other hand pulls occiput superiorly while spreading condyles apart
What points for diagnosing?
Treatment?
Anterior
Posterior
What chapman point located at the superior clavicle, 2-3 cm lateral to SC junction?
Anterior OM
What points are rubbery, similar to TART findings in VS reflex?
Posterior points
What chapman point located at base of occiput or OA?
Posterior OM
Chapman’s points reflect what dysfunction?
Mediated by what?
Visceral
Sympathetics
Pull where for ear pull?
Post and laterally
Which points are smooth, firm, discretely palpable nodules?
Anterior points
Goal of pre and post auricular drainage?
Improve lymphatic drainage to ant and post LNs
8 steps of counterstrain?
1) dx a SD
2) find a TP
3) establish a pain scale
4) wrap around TP
5) achieve 70% reduction in pain
6) maintain position for 90 seconds
7) return to neutral
8) reassess
Supraorbital TP for counterstrain?
Direction of force(s)?
over supraorbital notch
1 hand pulls superiorly on forehead, other hand pinches nose and pulls caudad
Direction of force for crossed thumb technique?
Midline
right thumb contacts left nasal region
PS innervation of sinuses?
Pass through what?
CN 7
Sphenopalatine ganglion
CI for sinus treatment?
Fever > 102
Not on abx if bacterial infection
inflamed LNs
