as a complimentary treatment

Location of diagnosis of spinal reflexes associated with sympathethic nervous system.
Thoracic and lumbar
What is the typical somatic dysfunction found with the systematic nervous system.
Commonly Type 2 somatic dysfunction
TART criteria for SNS
Tissue texture changes
Red reflex
Chapman's Reflexes
Chapman's Points
tender nodules along sympathetic dermatomes
associated with specific organ dysfunctino
Diagnosis of abdominal plexus tension
Celiac
Superior mesenteric
Inferior mesenteric
Normalizing autonomic tone
treatment of type 2 spinal somatic dysfunction
rib raising
abdominal plexus release
Chapman's Point stimulation
Rib Raising
Stretches the connective tissue around the sympathetic chain ganglia that causes an effect. First is an up-regulation of sympathetic followed by a down regulation
What is normally seen with treatment of parasympathetics?
First a down regulation then an up regulation
Treatment of sympathetic component of bowel dysfunction
Push posterioroly into celiac, superior mesenteric, or inferior mesenteric ganglion.
Hold until tissue release, about 10-20 seconds.
When is treatment of bowel dysfunction contraindicated?
Ganglion inhibition is contraindicated in patients with peritonitis, bowel obstruction

What do mesenteric lifts do?
passively shorten a mesentery to reduce tension, normalize autonomics, and improve circulation and drainage
