Cervical Diagnosis and HVLA

[@MrPridizzle]

That intro was SMOOTH!

[@FurifiedFreestyle]

What a friendly and smart physicians.

On page 243 of the Nicholas Atlas is a demonstration of MET which uses post isometric relaxation to treat the cervical dysfunction. In their demo all planes of motion as brought to the barrier (with special attention to extending the c-spine on page 243) to correct the segment. The HVLA technique uses common motions of the c-spine when considering the joints of luschka. It seems like one plane is in freedom of motion, but actually locks out other segments and brings about a very tight barrier according to modified fryette's principles. In short MET utilizes muscle energy to treat the segment and the HVLA setup allows as much muscle relaxation as possible to avoid trauma. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

I believe this is what my chiropractor used to do to me .. sounded awful but felt great and I could look behind me again.

[@DidacticsOnline]

There is restriction in translating the segment from R to L. This means that the segment prefers to translate from L to R...when translating to the R the joint is sidebending left and due to modified fryetts, also rotating L. I believe you have a good understanding and are using different terminology. Thanks!

your hand placement may be compressed the carotid artery I think

My old chiropractor did this to me I don't know if she just too much thrust. But I had a bad migraine and other issues for over 2 weeks after the adjustment. Since then I won't let one near my neck.

[@josephspada3325]

Really appreciate the detailed explanation, you're both such great teachers :-). In future segments, would you also clarify what the patient would typically complain about? thanks!

[@NMMECHN]

Flexed, Rotated and Sidebent L. So we take the patient to the barrier by rotating R and extending but sidebending left, then thrust by rotating R?

[@eric204]

Interesting. On pg. 243 of the Nicholas Atlas of Techniques, they treat a C5 FSRRR by taking the patient into the barrier at all planes so ESLRL. Do we take them into ease on one of the planes for safety reasons? which do you guys think is easier for the thrust, the rotation into the ease or sidebending into ease? thanks

Superb

[@flamurbedrolli802]

I wonder why didn't you make a thurst on your college ?

[@AnnaMela]

Thank you

[@nowackichiro]

All good but it was not a HVLA technique… as you stated „I didn’t even have to thrust”… ;) This is simply a mobilization technique taking the joint into its end range of motion but not producing any neurophysiological effects related to HVLA. Thanks for sharing anyway :)

[@AverageMED]

Not necessarily true - this is the setup for cervical HVLA - in OMM you localize specifically to that segment, in this video and as they stated when they were going into the barrier the segment popped or was treated within setup. For this is would not be useful to then HVLA after the correction already occurred if the segment was already treated. they stated how the thrust would occur if they were to do it

[@gregorykahndc]

FRSleft? R to L translation. The R facet does not close on Brandon. I'm I correct?

[@byoung0826]

I am an OMS-I. Thanks so much :o)

[@AHLGREN6]

im OMS II right now, would love to hear how you're doing now. Need some reassurance this is all worth it lol

DO NOT THRUST IN EXTENSION!

terrible line up, you took his entire head and neck and nose out of the midline, that's a big FAIL in my classroom !
