1
Q

Somatopsychic

A

how subluxation can influence the emotions and other central states

2
Q

somatopsychic hypothesis

A

pain overloads the ascending pathways and overexcited the reticular activating system, which affects sleep (insomnia, anxiety, depression)

3
Q

cerebral dysfunction syndrome

A

reduced blood flow to specific regions of the brain, causes “hibernation” or a state of suspended electrical activity in those regions, this effects higher functions

4
Q

symptoms of cerebral dysfunction syndrome

A
dizziness/giddiness
lethargy/fatigue
insomnia
depression
nervousness
anxiety
disorientation
personality alteration
hyperkinesia
"whining child syndrome"
headache
memory problems
learning disability
changes in viscual acuity
auditory difficulty
poor concentration
clumsiness
mixing up words
loss of libido
5
Q

psychogenic (psychosomatic)

A

emotional state causes the subluxation

6
Q

possible mechanisms of psychogenic

A

postural changes associated with non-verbal communication (body language)
diaphragm hypertonicity as a result of acute/chronic alarm state can result in stress in the spine

7
Q

axoplasmic aberration hypothesis

A

neurotrophic support of body tissues can be adversely affected by VSC due to the disruption of normal axoplasmic transport mechanisms

8
Q

what did Korr says about axoplasmic aberration?

A

axoplasmic transport can be affected by compression without damage to nerve conduction

9
Q

things that are transported intracellularly

A

proteins, phospholipids, enzymes, glycoproteins, neurotransmitters, mitochondria

10
Q

vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency hypothesis

A

cervical subluxation, especially in the presence of spondylosis, can cause compression of deflexion of the vertebral artery, results in cerebral ischemia and neurologic dysfunction

11
Q

what did Haldeman say about VBAI?

A

potentially more cranial blood flow can diminish through vasoconstriction by autonomic influence

12
Q

what did Ferezy say about VBAI?

A

careful, biomechanically-correct cervical adjusting may normalize forces applied to the vertebral artery, preventing more VBAI than it causes

13
Q

5Ds and 3Ns of stroke

A
diploplia     nausea
dizziness     numbness
drop attacks     nystagmus
dysarthria
dysphagia
14
Q

intraneural microcirculation ischemia

A

effect of mechanical compression, torsion or traction that may be narrowing small blood vessels supplying nerves themselves, causing neuroischemia and altering nerve physiology

15
Q

neurapraxia

A

manifested clinically as paresthesias

16
Q

venous and lymphatics stasis

A

small scale mechanical stresses may be sufficient to cause localized venous congestion and or lymphatic stasis with resulting edema or accumulation/metabolites and byproducts of inflammation

17
Q

altered cerebrospinal fluid flow

A

imporper circulation of CSF due to spinal dysfunction can cause CNS dysfunction

18
Q

axoplasmic flow aberration

A

VSC can disrupt normal axoplasmic flow without interrupting nromal nerve flow

19
Q

vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency

A

VSC in cervicals can decrease blood flow, leading to cerebral ischemia and neurologic dysfunction

20
Q

cord compression/myelopathy

A

compression of the cervical neural canal can lead to neural injury and dysfunction

21
Q

neurodystrophic/neuroimmune hypothesis

A

subluxation can lead to lowered tissue resistance and compomise the body’s ability to adapt to microorganism

22
Q

somatopsychic hypothesis

A

how subluxation can influence the emotions and other central states

23
Q

psychogenic hypothesis

A

emotional state causes the subluxation

24
Q

altered CSF flow

A

improper CSF flow because of subluxation cause cause CNS dysfunction

25
Q

cerebral dysfunction theroy

A

decrease cerebral blood flow due to several subluxation effects can cause “hibernation” of certain brain function

26
Q

somatosomatic

A

somatic afferent bombardment of the dorsal horn, leading to somatic effects like spasm, pain, equilibrium, disrotion, hypomobility, misalignment

27
Q

somatoautonomic

A

somatic afferent bombardment due to subluxation can cause facilitation of lateral horn can lead to visceral dysfunction

28
Q

viscerosomatic

A

visceral afferent bombardment from body organs can cause typical referred pain patterns, can cause or predispose spinal levels to VSC through interneural connection on the anterior horn

29
Q

subluxation causes

A

thoughts, traumas, toxins

30
Q

sympatheticotonia

A

most accepted current concept, modification of sympathetic nerve activity locally and globally

31
Q

dysautonomia

A

neurophysoilogic state reflexting abdnormal balance between tone of sympathetics, parasympathetics and ANS

32
Q

dysafferentation

A

abnormal afferent input as a result of joint restriction

33
Q

nociceptive facilitation

A

increase in pain

34
Q

mechanoreceptor facilitation

A

increase in mechanoreceptor

35
Q

subluxation prevention

A

exercise, avoid”patterns and habits of behavior”, live “natural”
