Questions and Answers

What is the speculated cause of meniscus entrapment in spinal joints?

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Trauma
  • Poorly coordinated spinal movements (correct)
  • Aging

How does SMT potentially reduce meniscus entrapment?

  • By promoting degenerative disc disease
  • By increasing pressure on the spinal nerves
  • By trapping the meniscus further
  • By reducing entrapment through gaps in joints (correct)

What is the theory behind interdiscal block restrictions?

  • Meniscus entrapment
  • Poorly coordinated spinal movements
  • Changes associated with aging
  • Fragmented nuclear material (correct)
