Spinal Disc #15 Intensity
Position: Slide radial side of the index finger DIP proximate to Thumb MCP
Purpose: Reveals extreme disc inflammation with extreme disc protrusion with neuropathy.
Procedure: During weakness perform respiratory assist test to determine recovery potential. Treat with Submode Local, Remote, Priority SCOPE. Release the fixation with associated ligament and restore movement with associated remote muscle. Ice for ten minutes per hour PRN.
Pain
Position: Thumb nail into the radial side of the index finger distal phalanx.
Purpose: Indicates active nociceptor pain signals.
Procedure: Pause Lock the active signal and process with Local, Priority, SCOPE to identify the Local tissue. Endpoint to locate treatment of Local or Remote Priority.
Neuropathy #1
Position: Tip of thumb nail into index finger pad midline.
Purpose: Identifies nerve inflammation and dysfunction resulting from peripheral entrapment.
Procedure: Submode to End Point for Local or Remote treatment location and treat as Priority, SCOPE Tissue File indicates.
Neuropathy #2
Position: Tip of thumb nail into index finger middle phalanx palmer midline.
Purpose: Identifies nerve inflammation and dysfunction resulting from spinal nerve root entrapment; subluxation
Procedure: Submode to End Point for Local or Remote treatment location and treat as Priority, SCOPE Tissue File indicates or adjust the vertebral orientation.
Neuropathy #3
Position: Thumb nail into index finger proximal phalanx palmer midline.
Purpose: Identifies nerve inflammation and dysfunction resulting from Meningeal or Dural torque within the spinal canal.
Procedure: Submode to End Point for Local or Remote treatment location and treat as Priority, SCOPE Tissue File indicates ie. compression of transverse ligament bridging the spinal segment
Cryotherapy
Position: Place index finger nail tip on ulna side of thumb, perpendicular to the thumb, exactly in line with the proximal margin of the thumb nail.
Purpose: To determine the need for Cryotherapy for the reduction of inflammation and swelling.
Procedure: For maximum results, apply frozen gel pack wrapped in a paper towel, directly to the bare skin for no more than 10 minutes, once per hour.
Neuro Lymphatics
Position: The tip of the partially flexed Index finger nail into the joint crease, ulna side of the thumb DIP
Purpose: Deficient lymph drainage for the muscle function.
Procedure: Locate the Priority Neuro-lymphatic option and vigorously rub lightly for ten to twenty seconds.
Neuro Vascular
Position: Apply partially flexed index finger and nail tip into thumb distal margin of PIP joint ulna side.
Purpose: Indicates neurogenic vascular reduction to the muscle.
Procedure: Locate the Priority, Neuro-Vascular location point, then touch lightly for 10-15 seconds, or Priority / EndPoint.
Vascular Deficit
Position: Apply the open flexed index finger distal phalanx dorsum, flat against the ulna aspect of the thumb so the index DIP aligns with the thumb DIP.
Purpose: Indicates circulatory compromise by arterial constriction or occlusion. May correspond with Oxygen deprivation.
Procedure: Respiratory Assist Test for conservative care potential. Locate release point along inguinal fossa up and over the iliac crest activates Spinal division of the diaphragm. Left side abdomen for deficit below diaphragm. Right side abdomen for deficit above the diaphragm.
Inflammation
Position: Fully flexed index finger closed is cradled into the ulna aspect of the thumb in line with the thumb.
Purpose: General indicator of tissue inflammation.
Procedure: Process with Priority / S.C.O.P.E tissue and treat as indicated. If inflammation mode persists after treatment, test for and apply ice 10 minutes per hour as needed.
Bursa
Position: Fully flexed index finger is angled across the ulna aspect of middle phalanx of the thumb.
Purpose: Indicates inflammation of the bursa sack around a joint.
Procedure: Process with Local / Priority / Bursa / vector / compression.
Swelling
Position: Insert the distal phalanx of the thumb between the PIP joints of the middle and index finger.
Purpose: Identifies the presence of physiological swelling.
Procedure: Process with Priority / S.C.O.P.E tissue and treat as indicated. May be reaction of Viscera, Trauma, or Vascular. As Submode of spine this indicates swelling of facets.
Fixation / Range of Motion
Position: Closed fist position with the index finger full extension with the thumb flexed over the middle finger.
Purpose: Identifies restriction of singular or compound dynamics of joint movement referred to fixation.
Procedure: Determine plane of fixation, locate ligament parallel to the plane of fixation and correct the ligament OR process for Priority, Endpoint, Time, POP, Endpoint.
Soft Tissue Displacement
Position: Thumb tip to the index finger tip, NO nail contact.
Purpose: Indicates malposition of any soft tissue.
Procedure: Using mechanical pressure, adjust to the priority vector of correction.
Periosteum
Position: Thumb palmer surface DIP to the index finger palmer surface of DIP.
Purpose: Indicates trauma to the bone surface. If a fracture is suspected, perform the tuning fork, tap test and respiratory assist test. If vibration on the bone causes weakness and inspiratory assist fails to restore strength, the fracture test is positive. X-RAY the Local / Periosteum indicator.
Procedure: Process with Priority / S.C.O.P.E tissue and treat as indicated or Micro-current with 0.6 HZ., 91.0 Hz. & 9.0 Hz. Negative polarity.
Meniscus
Position: Place the thumb pad on the radial side of the fully flexed DIP joint of the index finger.
Purpose: Indicates extrusion or displacement of the cartilaginous pad of tissue between bones.
Procedure: This requires a manipulation of the meniscus margin and muscle balancing.
Adhesion
Position: Place the ulna side of the thumb DIP to the radial side of the fully flexed DIP joint of the index finger.
Purpose: Displays fascia restrictions and connective tissue proliferation.
Procedure: Process as indicated or check for Adaptation, Injury Recall. Deeply stretch the tissue with fiber manipulation.
Scar Tissue
Position: Place the ulna side of the thumb DIP to the ulna side of the fully flexed DIP joint of the index finger.
Purpose: Indicates post traumatic tissue repair with contractures of tissue.
Procedure: Process as indicated with Local vectors of force. Consider Adaptation, Injury Recall. Penetrating oils or micro-current may soften the scar.
