What is the cause of Amblyopia?
Compression of CN VI (Abducens)
What is the technique to treat Otitis Media?
Mandibular Drainage
What Scoliosis can be treated conservatively with OMT?
Cobb angles:
Equal to or <15 degrees (Mild Scoliosis)
20-45 degrees (Moderate)
Common Newborn or Infant conditions that can be treated with OMT (6)
-Plagiocephaly
-Torticollis
-Otitis Media
-Reflux
-Colic
-Feeding Disorders
Childhood conditions that can be treated with OMT (5)
-Ambylopia
-Asthma
-Gait abnormalities
-ADD/ADHD
-Headache
Common conditions found in Adolescence that can be treated with OMT (4)
-Back pain
-Headache
-Scoliosis
-Sports Injuries
Plagiocephaly

What is the cause?
How is it named?
When does it occur?
Lateral SBS strain

Named for flat side of the posterior head

Returns during periods of rapid growth
Torticollis

What is the cause?
Treatment?
Compression of CN XI in Jugular Foramen

Tx = Occipital Decompression
Otitis Media

Treatment?
Tx = Mandibular Drainage on each side 2X/day
Feeding Disorders and Reflux

What can cause them (involving the cranium)?
Treatment?
Entrapment neuropathy of CN IX, X, XII d/t Cranial Base Strains
(IX and X - Jugular Foramen; XII - Hypoglossal Canal)

Tx = Occipital Decompression; MFR of Abdominal Valves and Plexi
Colic

Description?
Causes?
Does it come back?
Treatment?
-Role of 3s = cry for 3 hours/day, 3X/week, at 3 pm
-May be caused by (1) Entrapment neuropathy of CN IX, X, XII from Cranial Base Strains (2) Pulling of Cervical muscles against cranial base and upper cervical spine --> pain results (3) Increased PSNS stimulation --> Constriction of Gut
-It will NOT come back once released with treatment
-Tx = Occipital Decompression, MFR of Abdominal Valves and Plexi
Amblyopia

Presentation?
Cause?
Treatment?
Medial deviation of the eye d/t compression of CN VI under the Petrosphenoidal Ligament

Tx = Balanced Membranous Tension
Asthma

Common finding?
Non-Acute Goal?
Acute Goal?
What to avoid during treatment?
Target goal of treatment?
Common finding = Thoracic Rib Cage Restriction

Non-Acute Goal = Maintain Function and Balance
Acute Goal = Assisting Body's Innate Ability to Heal

AVOID = increasing inhalation
DO gentle Lymphatic Treatments, increase Vagal Tone, and treat muscles of respiration

Tx = MFR of Rib Cage and Diaphragm
Gait Abnormalities

Common Findings?
Treatment?
Metatarsus Adductus
Tibial Torsion (internal > external)
Genu varus/valgus
Interal Rotation/External Rotation of Hip

Tx = OMT and Parental Stretching
ADD/ADHD and Headaches

Common Findings?
Treatment?
Goal?
Tension on Dura (innervated by CN V) and Suboccipital/Cervical Areas

Tx = Balanced Membranous Tension

Goal = Tx ADD/ADHD (to a point) and relieving muscle contraction (contributing to the headache)
Back Pain

What is the initial goal for patient care in adolescents?
R/O Spondylolisthesis and Scoliosis
-Standing X-ray (lateral view)
-Bone Scan (acute or not?)

Spondylolisthesis = pars interarticularis fracture on both sides

Tx = Strengthen Abdominal Muscles
Sports Injuries

What is the initial goal for patient care in adolescents?
R/O Structural Derangement (example = epiphyseal injuries)

Tx = OMT + Standard Treatment
Scoliosis

When is an Xray warranted?
If greater than 10 degrees

Measure the Cobb Angle
Ferguson's Angle

Normal?
Above Normal?
Below Normal?
Normal Ferguson's Angle = 38-42 degrees

>42 degrees = Strains ligamentous structures and places shearing forces on intervertebral discs

<38 degrees = Flattens Lumbar Lordosis and Creates Compressive Forces on Articular Facets
T/F

1/3 of all children under 11 yo with Scoliosis have an underlying neurological problem.
True!

Focal neurological deficit on neuro exam = MRI is indicated for appropriate structure
Top 3 causes of Scoliosis in children <11 yo
-Arnold-Chiari I malformation
-Tethered Cord
-Serous cyst in the cord
Treatment for Mild Scoliosis
OMT (restores mobility)
Exercise (correct muscular asymmetry)
-Stretches tight muscles
-Strengthens weak muscles
-Accomplished through physical therapy, yoga, pilates, Wii
Heel Lift Tx (short leg syndrome)
Pt and Family Education
