Slide Set 6 Flashcards
What hypothesis talks about spinal joint lesions that may trigger facilitation induced reflexes that impair or disturb visceral function?
Somatoautonomic Reflex Hypothesis
The somatoautonomic reflex hypothesis explains the purported effect of chiropractic adjustments on organ function or on total health through what?
Spinovisceral Reflexes
Descending inhibition can affect neural transmission in what cells?
Dorsal Horn Cells
Spinothalamic and dorsal column systems can be affected by what?
Centrally ordered mechanisms
Peripheral modulation is segmental facilitation that may result from?
Failure of damaged skeletal tissues to heal properly
Alterations of peripheral receptive fields may alter
spinal reflexes
What is aberrant sympathetic or parasympathetic activity associated with SDF, RDF, or any phase of VSC?
Somatoautonomic Dysfunction
Somatoautonomic dysfunction is a mechanism used to explain apparent effect of spinal manipulation on a wide range of what?
Visceral Disorders
Somatic Visceral Disease Mimicry is an alternate theory to explain what?
Somatovisceral Diseases
What is the actual cause of somatic visceral disease mimicry?
Somatic dysfunction mimicking symptoms of visceral diseases
What appears to be the most prevalent type of somatoautonomic dysfunction?
Sympathicotonia
What is probably the best justification for use of adjustment or CMT for other than pain syndromes?
Somatoautonomic Hypothesis
What hypothesis involves tissue and cellular responses to injury in the spine and includes infiltration of histamine, protein derived factors, eicosanoids, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, degradative enzymes and substance P and prestegious development of spinal lesions?
