Test 2 notecards Flashcards
what must the patient be for any disease state?
STABLE before performing OMT
use more gentle techniques if they are sicker/weaker
do you do OMT for new onset of chest pain or SOB?
NO
facilitated segments only occur where?
sympathetics
if someone has a nocturnal cough at night
think about asthma (pulmonary issue) or reflux (GI)
somatic dysfunction at T2
pulmonary issue
use albuterol
somatic dysfunction at T8
GI issue
use omeprazole
somatic dysfunction at T5
pulmonary or GI issue
need to treat thoracoabdominal diaphragm if flattened (diminished zone of apposition)
seen in COPD patients
- improves diaphragmatic excursion -> improves pressure gradient b/w abdominal cavity and thoracic cavity -> improve lymphatic flow
- also improve lymphatic flow by relaxing the tension on the diaphragm
what do you target when treating a group dysfunction for OMT?
apex (middle) of the group curve
ex. T10-T12 -> treat T11
which way to the vertebrae rotate?
TOWARD the dysfunctional organ
- GB issues -> vertebrae rotates to right
- gastritis -> vertebrae rotates to left
counterstain
- continuous monitoring
- hold for 90 sec
- return patient to neutral slowly
anterior cervical I CS point
- posterior side of ascending ramus on mandible at earlobe level
- lateral aspect of transverse process of C1
- RA
anterior cervical 2-6 CS point
- anterolateral aspect of corresponding anterior tubercle of the transverse process
- F SARA
anterior cervical 7 CS point
-clavicular attachment of the SCM
F STRA
anterior cervical 8 CS point
- sternal attachment of SCM on the medial end of clavicle
- F SARA
AT1 CS point
- midline or lateral to jugular (suprasternal notch)
- Flexion
-AT2 CS point
- midline or lateral to manubrium (angle of Louis)
- Flexion
-AT3-5 CS points
- midline at level of corresponding rib
- Flexion
-AT6 CS point
- midline xiphiod-sternal junction
- Flexion
post isometric muscle energy
patient pushes AWAY from barrier
physician pushes TOWARD barrier
reciprocal inhibition muscle energy
patient pushes TOWARD barrier
physician pushes AWAY from barrier
heart sympathetics
T1-T6 - synapses in upper thoracic and cervical chain ganglia
the SA node in arrhythmias (sympathetics)
- RIGHT heart
- right deep cardiac plexus
- lead to SVT
the AV node in arrhythmias (sympathetics)
- LEFT heart
- left deep cardiac plexus
- lead to ectopic PVCs and V fib and V tach
sympathetic supply to UPPER extremity vasculature
T2-T8
