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 |
