| 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
