Worksheet Flashcards
A subluxation results in irritation, compression or destruction of the spinal cord?
Myelopathy
Mechanical pressures and tensions cause a myriad of subclinical neurophysiologic alterations?
Nerve Compression
A subluxation results in impaired or disturbed visceral function?
Somato-Autonomic Imbalance
Synovial fluid thickening is followed by fibro-fatty consolidation, then intraarticular adhesions and then ankylosis?
Immobilization Degeneration
These normal structures significantly reduce the space available for the spinal N?
Transforaminal Ligaments
These structures are more susceptible to nerve conduction block from compression, tensile deformation, chemical irritants and metabolic abnormalities?
Dorsal N Root
These structures can cause disturbance of the cervical spinal cord by lateral traction?
Dentate Ligament
Movement of macromolecules within a neuron may be interfered with by a subluxation?
Axoplasmic Transport
Subluxation may render innervated structures more vulnerable to dysfunction or disease?
Neurodystrophic
An overuse injury to the elbow leads to muscle tension and joint fixation in the cervical spine?
Somato-Somatic Reflex
Spinal subluxations affect ascending pathways of the reticular activating system, resulting in conditions such as insomnia or restlessness?
Somatopsychic
Injruy in the spine leads to infiltration of histamine, protein-derived factors resting in rubor tumor, calor, dolor, and function laesa?
Inflammation
Somatic dysfunction creates overt signs and symptoms that stimulate rather than cause internal organ disease?
Mimicry
Rotation and extension movements of the neck may result in drop attacks and or symptoms such as dizziness with atlas laterality or vasucle anomalies?
Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency
Severe or repeated trauma or stresses with subsequent collagenous scarring of ligamentous capsular and discal tissues, result in misalignment observable with imaging procedures, predisposing to painful episodes and disability (VSC phase 2)?
Instability
Adjustive intervention enhances patient health and well being?
Wellness
The founder of chiropractic believed that irritated nerves would result in lowered tissue resistance?
Neuroimmune
Leaf like fibroadipose folds of synovium that attach to the inner surfaces of joint capsules and project into the joint cavities. They may become entrapped, causing pain and restricting motion
Intra-articular Meniscoids
Dealing with conditions for which there is less effective medical treatment and an absence of a distinct pathophysiologic alteration by adjusting and communicating concepts of health (as opposed to disease) and recognizing the importance of social factor?
Social
The most common spinal lesion treated by chiropractors (medicare guidelines term)?
Segmental Dysfunction
Abnormal spinal function that is limited to a particular spinal region
Regional Dysfunction
Lowered threshold for firing in a spinal cord segment as a result of afferent bombardment associated with spinal lesions?
Segmental Facilitation
Measures pain using a force gage?
Algometry
What are the IVF boundaries?
Pedicle
Vertebral Bodies
IVD
Zygapopyseal Joint
What are the IVF contents?
Transforaminal ligaments Spinal branch of lumbar segmental A Intervertebral V Epidural adipose tissue Ventral and dorsal N roots Lymphatic channel Recurrent meningeal N
What is radicular pain?
Sharp and Stabbing
What is somatic referred pain?
Dull, ache, difficult to localize, constant in nature.
