What's the autonomic difference in perspective between allopathic and osteopathic medicine?
|
allopathic - the viscera is the primary functional part of the human body and the ANS relates directly to it and much less importantly is related to the MSK system
osteopathic - the MSK system is the main part of our body because it is used functionally for all ADLs and the viscera are there to support the MSK system. the ANS relates the two equally and in a very important way. |

How does a facilitated segment present?
|
a vertebrae is being constantly stimulated by a chronic problem either V/S, S/V or otherwise. it's caused by a chronic irritation that causes a lowered segmental threshold.

What is a visceral-visceral reflex?
|
it's a referral pain pattern that occurs when a visceral problem exists that manifests as visceral pain. i.e. URQ pain recognized by pt as cholecystectomy from the past, but is actually an MI and vice versa.
