Viscerosomatic/Chapman's Flashcards

1
Q

What’s a reflex? myotactic reflex?

A

a. The common concept of the reflex is basically one of a relationship between an input stimulus to the body and an output action to either a muscle or a secretory organ
b. tonic contractions of the muscles in response to a stretching force due to stimulation of muscles receptors

Q

How are habituation and sensitization work together?

A

These two processes exist together to help maintain a homeostasis between over-reaction and under-reaction to a stimulus

Q

What is the facilitated segment?

A

• Inflammation disrupts the balance between habituation and sensitization
Results in larger than normal motor outputs to the autonomics and somatic systems
This then is thought to set up the low-threshold spinal reflexes Korr and Denslow talked about:
THE FACILITATED SEGMENT

Q

What is allostasis? central sensitization?

A
  1. long term neural effect of segmental facilitation

2. secondary hyperalgesia develops

Q

What effects on the body can allostasis have?

A

CV – HTN, Increased risk of MI
Neuro – Depression, Anxiety, Memory loss, Decreased cognition
Immune – Immunosupression, autoimune disease

Q

Myotatic response

A

The somatosomatic reflex response that occurs when a stretch receptor is stimulated and the stretched muscle receives the impulse to fire, while its antagonist receives an inhibitory message

Q

What are chapman’s reflexes?

A

A group of palpable points occurring in predictable locations on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the body that are considered to be reflections of visceral dysfunction or disease.

30
Q

What are the three components of Chapman’s Reflexes?

A

• Viscerosomatic reflex of both
diagnostic and treatment value
• Gangliform contraction that blocks lymphatic drainage and causes SNS dysfunction (neurolymphatic)
• A consistent reproducible series of points both anterior and posterior related to specific organs or conditions

31
Q

Palpatory Features of Chapman’s Reflexes

A
  • Located deep to the skin in the subcutaneous areolar tissue on deep fascia or periosteum
  • Paired anterior and posterior points in most cases
  • Small, smooth and firm nodule (boba tea pearls)
  • Approximately 2-3 mm in diameter • May be confluent
  • Dense but not hard
32
Q

What is the pain like in chapmans?

A
  • Pinpoint, Sharp and Non-radiating
  • Located under the physician’s finger tip
  • Pain is greater than is expected
  • Pt. is usually previously unaware of the sore spot.
33
Q

What are the contraindications of Chapman’s Reflexes?

A

• Anytime a patient needs emergent care the emphasis is always on Airway, Breathing & Circulation, not OMT.
• Patient refusal
• Relatively contraindicated with a fracture, cancer,
and other patient instability
