Study Notes
Learning Objectives
- Understand the physiology behind various treatments.
- Recognize indications for each treatment and appropriate usage.
- Achieve proficiency in performing each treatment.
- Memorize key neural pathways:
- Spinocerebellar tracts (DSCT, VSCT, RSCT, CSCT)
- Dentatorubrothalamocortical tract
- Reticulospinal tracts (PRST, MRST)
- Vestibulospinal tracts (MVST, LVST)
Structuring Visits
- Initial 20 minutes focus on therapies under the "Rehab" section:
- Warmup and system activation
- Energy and healing phases
- Rehabilitation of one system
- Integration of multiple systems
- Subsequent 20 minutes involve "Provider" therapies:
- Physical modalities and fine-tuning
- Gyrostim/Virtualis integration
- Flexibility in the session structure allows for addressing specific patient needs.
Subluxation Theory
- Most CNS information originates from spinal surrounding muscles, influenced by gravity.
- Muscle receptors (1a and 1b fibers) are critical for proprioception.
- Subluxation represents a joint position error, leading to dysfunctional CNS input.
- Manual adjustments can restore input integrity and enhance neurological function.
- Differential diagnosis is essential, as altered muscle tone may indicate underlying issues (e.g., visual, vestibular dysfunction).
Manual Therapies
- Spinal Manipulation: Used for cervicogenic dizziness and segmental dysfunction through techniques like arthrostim and manual adjustments.
- Myofascial Therapy: Addresses tight muscle fibers and spasms using methods like pin/stretch or active release.
Arpwave
- Combines 245Hz direct current with 10,000Hz stimulation for deep tissue impact.
- Promotes tissue healing without disrupting normal sensorimotor function.
- Recommended for cervicogenic dizziness, pain, and impaired proprioception—apply to tolerance, aiming for stronger doses without causing muscle contraction.
Photobiomodulation
- Uses red wavelengths (630-640 nm) to enhance mitochondrial function by up to 60%.
- Adjust protocols based on tissue resonance frequencies for optimal treatment.
- Near-infrared (808 nm) penetrates deeper tissues, targeting nerves and brain.
HEVM Integration
- Combines somatic, vestibular, and ocular system movements to improve cervical stability, particularly in TBI patients.
- Engages vestibulocollic reflex (stabilizes head) and cervicocollic reflex (reacts to neck position changes).
- Modulates postural reflexes through reticulospinal and vestibulospinal pathways.
HEVM Applications
- Indications include cervicogenic dizziness and cervical dysfunction.
- Utilize gentle movements within affected zones and combine with small oculomotor activities.
Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGs)
- Useful for sensitive patients who resist manipulations.
- Horizontal and vertical SNAG techniques target cervical hypertonicity tied to decreased vestibular gain.
- Effective in treating cervicogenic dizziness and headaches, followed by adjusting the affected segment for biomechanical optimization.
Hypertropia
- A pathological condition where one eye is misaligned vertically, commonly seen in TBI.
- Address underlying hypertropia before engaging in gaze stability exercises to prevent dizziness.
- Treatment involves specific exercises targeting weak eye muscles.
Virtualis and Gyrostim Usage
- Virtualis: 10-20-minute sessions focusing on head-eye coordination and postural reflexes.
- Gyrostim: 10-20 minutes incorporating sinusoidal movements for gaze stability, supplemented with other therapeutic protocols to enhance eye muscle functionality.
Complex Movements Application
- Complex movements act as cerebellar exercises stimulating various brain regions—an essential element of rehabilitation.
- Passive isometric movements can help reduce cerebellar activity on one side while engaging the opposite side.
