Study Notes
Diagnosis and Reflexes
- Translation to the right induces left side-bending; translation to the left induces right side-bending.
- Organ dysfunction generally causes vertebrae rotation towards the affected organ; e.g., gallbladder issues lead to right rotation.
- Facilitated segments are linked predominantly to sympathetic responses; parasympathetic levels should not be overlooked.
- Feather’s Edge indicates the quality of motion near a restrictive barrier for treatment techniques.
Osteopathic Principles
- Body as a unit: mind, body, and spirit interconnected; example includes gastric ulcers affecting thoracic tissue.
- Self-regulation and healing capabilities of the body; example of healed fractures.
- Structure and function are interrelated; treatment is based on understanding this relationship.
Osteopathic Models
- Biomechanical: Focus on structural integrity and normalizing dysfunction via OMT.
- Neurological: Involves CNS, PNS, and ANS, addressing proprioceptive imbalances and nerve compression disorders.
- Respiratory/Circulatory: Emphasizes the importance of pulmonary and circulatory systems and lymphatic endpoints.
- Metabolic/Nutritional: Focused on metabolic regulation of body processes.
- Behavioral: Considers mental, emotional, social, and spiritual factors in health.
Reflex Mechanisms
- Somatosomatic reflex: Localized somatic stimuli affecting segmentally related somatic structures; often involves occipitomastoid suture compression.
- CN X implicated in nausea and vomiting.
Treatment Indications and Contraindications
- Certain patient conditions (e.g., age, ability to follow commands) restrict the use of specific osteopathic techniques.
- Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or trisomy 21 contraindicate HVLA and upper cervical techniques.
Cranial Nerve Considerations
- Jugular Foramen: CN IX, X, XI emerge, relevant for conditions like torticollis.
- CN X relates to gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea or vomiting.
Clinical Examples
- Facilitation in patients presents at sympathetic levels; e.g., congestive heart failure and its effects can present at T3.
- Somatic dysfunction relating to viscero-somatic reflexes can occur at both sympathetic and parasympathetic levels.
Spinal Mechanics
- Neutral Position: Vertebral bodies follow opposite rotation upon side-bending; employ flexion/extension to assess anterior movement of transverse processes.
- Rotational Deviations: Shift left indicates right rotation; shift right indicates left rotation.
- Cervical spine mechanics vary by joint: OA side-bends and rotates oppositely, AA primarily rotates, while C2-C7 rotate and side-bend to the same side (Type II).
Treatment Techniques
- Indirect Treatment: Augments dysfunction by taking it to its natural position; disengages the restrictive barrier.
- Direct Treatment: Engages the barrier and reverses dysfunction by applying external forces.
Muscle Energy and Soft Tissue Techniques
- Muscle Energy Techniques: Postisometric relaxation and reciprocal inhibition to relieve dysfunction through patient-initiated efforts against resistance.
- Soft Tissue Treatment: Longitudinal or parallel traction techniques for separation of myofascial structures.
