Tender Points Flashcards
(127 cards)
AC1 location
-high on posterior edge of ascending ramus at earlobe
AC1 treatment
-rotate away with fine tuning
AC2-6 location
-anterolateral aspect of the TP of affected vertebra
AC2-6 treatment
- flex, side bend away, rotate away
- F SARA
AC7 location
-posterosuperior surface of proximal clavicle where SCM muscle inserts (lateral to AC8 TP)
AC7 treatment
F STRA
AC8 location
-on the medial end of the clavicle at the sternal attachment of the SCM
AC8 treatment
-F SARA
AT1
-midline in suprasternal notch
AT2
midline on the manubrium
AT3-4
At the level of the costal cartilage related to the named vertebrae
AT5
about an inch above the xiphoid junction
AT6
at the sternal-xiphoid junction
AT7
at the tip of the xiphoid
AT8 location
midline 1.5 inches inferior to xiphoid
AT1-8 treatment
- Dr places knee under patient’s head/neck or trunk to use as a wedge to flex patient to involved vertebrae.
- Doc’s operating hand supports upper back and fine tunes flexion
- more flexion needed the lower the TP’s
AT9 location
midline 1-2 cm superior to umbilicus
AT10 location
midline 1-2 cm inferior to umbilicus
AT11 location
midline 3-4 cm below umbilicus
AT12 location
mid-axillary line on the supermodel surface of iliac crest (bilateral)
AT9-12 treatment
- Patient supine, doc on same side of TP with foot on table.
- Doc uses patient’s legs to cause flexion. Patient’s hips and knees bent to 90 degrees with fine tuning by adding rotation towards Dr.
AL 5-6T location
-At the costosternal joint at the affected level
AL5-6T treatment
- patient seated
- Doc behind patient with leg on table under patient’s arm on unaffected side; F STRA
AL7-8T location
-on inferior medial surface of costal cartilages, 1 and 2 inches inferolaterally from xiphoid
