Question

Sidebending - Sphenoid: treatment

Answer 1

Treatment: - Stabilize occiput in neutral zone - Recreate direction of ease - Neutral zone - Repeat process for direction of barrier, hold for tissue release - Re-evaluate and repeat if necessary

Answer 2

Clinical significance: same as torsion but more severe - sacrum mimics occiput - head, neck, back pain of varying severity - sinusitis - temporal bone dysfunction - scoliosis - eye motor problems In addition: - headaches - endocrine disorders - allergies - TMJ problems Sacrum mimics occiput

Answer 3

Treatment: - Stabilize occiput in neutral zone - Lift wing that moves cephalad more easily, hold to end range for tissue release - Neutral zone - Repeat process for direction of barrier, hold for tissue release - Re-evaluate and repeat of necessary

Answer 4

Evaluation: - As sphenoid is moving forward toward flexion, stabilize occiput in the neutral zone - Slide sphenoid in caudal direction, take note of how far it glides inferior - As sphenoid is moving toward extension, stabilize the occiput in neutral zone - Slide / glide the sphenoid in the cephalad direction *if sphenoid glides caudally more easily - superior vertical strain (forward forehead) * if sphenoid glides cephalad direction more easily - inferior vertical strain (sloped back forehead) - base of SBJ direction determine lesion direction

Answer 5

Treatment: - move in direction of ease and wait for tissue release - repeat process for direction of barrier - re-evaluate and retreat if necessary - different than flexion and extension because the occiput but be stabilized

Answer 6

Clinical significance: More severe than lateral strain, manifestation same as lateral strain - pain syndromes - personality disorders - endocrine disorders - various learning disabilities - eye/motor coordination problems - reading problems

Answer 7

Clinical significance: - sacrum mimics occiput - head, neck, back pain of varying severity - sinusitis - temporal bone dysfunction - scoliosis - eye motor problems Sacrum mimics occiput

Answer 8

Evaluation - Sphenoid in neutral zone, stabilize occiput - Slide sphenoid laterally and bring back to midline - Repeat on other side - Lesion names for side to which the sphenoid moves the most easily laterally

Answer 9

Treatment - Stabilize occiput in neutral zone - Move in direction of ease and wait for release - Return to midline - Move in direction of barrier and wait for release - Re-eval and repeat if necessary

Answer 10

Clinical significance: Severe implications - pain syndromes - personality disorders - endocrine disorders - various learning disabilities - eye/motor coordination problems - reading problems

Answer 11

Evaluation: stabilize the occiput and gently compress the sphenoid and feel for lack of movement

Answer 12

Treatment: move into decompression and possible use direction of energy to help facilitate the release

Answer 13

Clinical significance: most severe - severe emotional problems - depression - childhood autism

Answer 14

Physiological: flexion and extension Non-physiological: torsion, sidebending, lateral strain, vertical strain, compression

Answer 15

Types of releases include: - fascial releases - osseous releases on bony structures - membranous releases in the falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, or tentorium - energy cyst Indirect release: practitioner follows the motion in the direction of ease Direct techniques: involve moving in the direction of the barrier and gently nudging movement through the barrier Signs of release: - softening - lengthening - increased fluid flow - increased energy flow - heat - energetic repelling - therapeutic pulse - sighing or taking a deep breath - borborygmi signs - twitching - rapid blinking - itching

Answer 16

Start with compression in the direction of ease to release, and then decompress in the direction of barrier. Used for sphenoid and TMJ.

Answer 17

Flexion: posterior-lateral Extension: superior-medial

Answer 18

Disimpact / decompress the nasal bones from the Frontonasal sutures and the nasomaxillary sutures

Answer 19

Eval: glide left and right to eval direction of ease Treat: - indirect technique to release in direction of ease - direction of barrier and hold for tissue release - DOE if need assistance in release

Answer 20

Use 3 point grip with fingertips - 1 fingerson glabella on midline - others place on each nasal bone Stabilize frontal bone and apply inferior, anterior traction to decompress suture

Answer 21

Flexion: inferior and lateral Extension: superior and medial

Answer 22

- Maxillae - Frontal - Sphenoid - Temporal (small) - if impaired, can reflect into masticatory system and into cranial vault - Contributes to inferior and lateral aspect of orbits of eye These bones articulate with maxilla on each side and when these sutures are restricted, the maxillary mobility may be compromised

Answer 23

Core intent: release zygotes to help balance hard palate Hand Placement: index fingerprint on inside / medial aspect of the zygoma (fingernail against the alveolar ridge / tooth). Thumb on outside of the zygoma, making firm 2 point contact. Technique: - Treat one side at a time - Stabilize sphenoid and frontal bone - Anterior-lateral traction on zygomas Osseous release - use only as much force as necessary

Answer 24

- bridges, palate expanders, implants - partial plates, dentures, retainers, Invisalign - Oromyofunctional disorders - ALFs - Braces - TMJ associations

Answer 25

Widens with flexion, narrows with extension Name the lesion with direction of ease Torsion: - rotate right and left (turn key in lock) - non-physiological Sheer: - lateral - non-physiological

Answer 26

The ensure the maxilla is in synchrony with the sphenoid Ensure as much symmetry in the maxilla as possible

Answer 27

- one hand tunes into flexion and extension of the sphenoid with direct contact to greater wings or through the frontal bone - other hand, place fingers on biting surfaces of upper molars; monitor flexion and extension of the transverse distance across the hard palate

Answer 28

- Assess flexion / extension, torsion, or sheer - Treat direction of ease first - Treat direction of barrier - Bring back to neutral, allow flexion and extension

Answer 29

Flexion: inferior aspect inferior (sphenoid pushes it down) Extension: inferior aspect "re-seats" and inferior aspect returns to superior Like cracking an egg open

Answer 30

Hand placement: Technique: - Follow bones flexion - neutral - extension - neutral - Stabilize sphenoid in neutral - Rotate left and right (torsion) or right / left (sheer) name lesion for direction of ease - Treat in direction of ease, then direction of barrier - Bring back to neutral - Let it go through extension / flexion integration Clinical Considerations:

Answer 31

Core intent: provide anterior-inferior directed midline traction on vomer to move it away from sphenoid Hand Placement: - Place one finger on vomer and thumb underneath front lip (or thumb on bridge of nose) - Other hand stabilize sphenoid in neutral zone Technique: - Intension / suction cup on finger on vomer - Disimpact anterior-inferior (follow bridge of nose) while stabilizing sphenoid Clinical Considerations: - impact to face such as child hitting face on handlebars, person face planting with fall - Vomer-sphenoid relationship will feel like a semi-rigid vs feeling like independent bones with a hinge movement

Answer 32

Core intent: provide anterior-inferior directed midline traction on vomer to move it away from sphenoid

Answer 33

Hand Placement: - Place one finger on vomer and thumb underneath front lip (or thumb on bridge of nose) - Other hand stabilize sphenoid in neutral zone

Answer 34

Technique: - Intension / suction cup on finger on vomer - Disimpact anterior-inferior (follow bridge of nose) while stabilizing sphenoid

Answer 35

- impact to face such as child hitting face on handlebars, person face planting with fall - Vomer-sphenoid relationship will feel like a semi-rigid vs feeling like independent bones with a hinge movement

Answer 36

Maxillae is anterior Vomer is anterior-inferior

Answer 37

To evaluate and treat palatine bones

Answer 38

One hand placed on palatine bone, other hand contact the cranium Can follow the teeth to last molar at end of hard palate and then slide medially to palatine Are like washers between maxilla and pterygoid process

Answer 39

Very gentle, 1-2 grams, almost energetically 1. Cephaladad 2. Lateral 3. Return to midline 4. Palantine

Answer 40

Making sure everything is moving and not impacting others bones such as sphenoid or maxilla

Answer 41

After completing work on hard palate, lay fingers along biting surfaces of upper and lower teeth. Treat any tooth that "jumps out", may unwind. Teeth can hold tension and trauma

Answer 42

1. Synchronize maxilla and sphenoid 2. Rebalance mandible with upper jaw with TMJ work 3. Temporal Bones - bilateral ear pull 4. Sphenobasilar Technique - compression / decompression 5. CV-4

Answer 43

- Reptilian brain (r-complex) - first part of the brain that develops neurologically. - Limbic system (mammalian brain) - next area to develop. Protects the r-complex. - Neocortex (Cerebral Cortex) - last to develop, unique to humans. Designed to protect limbic system. Cerebrum Cerebellum

Answer 44

- all creatures have this, reptiles don't have higher level brain - Basic autonomic life functions: brain, lungs, heart, reproduction - Contains RAS - reticular activating system - Continuation of species, self-preservation - Hard wired for safety and survival - Agression - Repetitive, automatic responses - React, not respond

Answer 45

* Basic need = Safety, avoiding harm * Need met = Peace * Need not met = Fear * Addictions, compulsive habits, retreat, reactive behaviors – Rigid, obsessive, compulsive, ritualistic, paranoid – Filled with ancestral memories – Repeats same behaviors over and over – Never learns from past mistakes * Difficult to connect with others via limbic system or intellect

Answer 46

- Emotional center (limbic system): hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus - Memories, emotions, feelings, learning, satisfaction, reward based learning - Hard wired for safety and survival. Attachment, nurturing, bonding. Avoidance of pain, repetition of pleasure.

Answer 47

* Basic need = Satisfaction, reward * Need met = Contentment * Need not met = Frustration * Can understand the problem and learn new behaviors – Often can’t implement new behaviors * Overly attached to others, codependent * Rationalizes sense of self-worth * Fear-based behavior, based on past experiences/memories * “Black or white thinking” – Might not be able to connect to neocortex and utilize it's features

Answer 48

- frontal, temporal, parietal lobe, etc - Critical thinking, reasoning, decision making, imagination, intellect (higher cognitive functions that distinguish humans from other mammals) - Consciously implement new behaviors or adopt new thoughts / beliefs - Attachment to others, connection...and appreciation for that - Respond vs react

Answer 49

* Basic need = Connection, attachment to others * Need met = Love * Need not met = Heartache * Depression, despair, hopelessness * Can understand problem, learn and implement new behaviors to facilitate change * Can ignore heart-felt or gut instincts * Lives too much in head, and not in heart or body * Over-analyzes and rationalizes things

Answer 50

* Quality of CST touch impacts these three areas – Facilitates a state of safety for healing * Mouth work is connected to the RAS by the trigeminal nerve (CN V) – CST mouth work helps brain reset primary functions – Effective for psychological stress, trauma – Facilitates integration of all three centers

Answer 51

Discovers active, energy producing problem - no residual arching after resolution - use it to evaluate the effectiveness of your therapy Treat with DOE, RTR, DR, SER, etc

Answer 52

Facilitated segments - caused by active problem with may still be present or which may have been resolved. After resolution, facilitation may be self-perpetuating. Treat with DT traction, DOE, DR, fascial glide

Answer 53

Fascial mobility - active problem or residuum of resolved problem Treat with - Fascial glide, DR, DOE

Answer 54

SQAR Active problems or residuum of resolved problem General vitality, evaluate paravertebral musculature to assess innervation of tissues In cases of facilitated segments, evaluate the muscles surrounding the spinal column for innervation issues Treat with - Anything from CS1 or CS2

Answer 55

Active - Energy cyst present - Distinctive energetic pattern - Take priority over inactive lesion - Actively affecting body systems - Hot, like house is on fire Inactive - No energy cyst present - No energetic pattern - Strain / restriction; may be remnants of old EC - Inflammation? - Not hot, had a fire and now need to clean it up

Answer 56

Refers to feeling oscillating arcs of energy coming from the area Smaller arcs = closer to energy cysts Larger arcs = farther away from the energy cyst

Answer 57

- Caused by trauma - accident, trauma, environment toxins, medications, etc. - Localized area of increase entropy - encapsulated foreign energy, trying to make it as small as possible - Body unable to dissipate foreign energy - walls it off, contains it - Alternative defense against a more generalized negative effect - Body can adapt to energy cysts but over time body needs extra energy to continue performing day-to-day functions. Over time, symptoms increase and become more difficult to suppress. Causes dysfunction or dis-ease.

Answer 58

Affects tissues and energy around it - Tissues feels devitalized, lacking in life force, denser - Energy feels fuzzy, chaotic

Answer 59

Dr Upledger considered this the most important area to address in arcing Primary underlying cause of current problems 1. disrupt fascial organization 2. impair organ function 3. block fluid flow 4. create FS 5. Restrict body's restorative abilities 6. Disrupts acupuncture meridian or chakras

Answer 60

1. Force of trauma - physical, emotional, spiritual, disease process 2. Repeated injuries to same area 3. Emotional state at time of trauma - positive or negative outlook increases or decreases chances of developing cysts. Negative emotions plus trauma create ECs Can serve a purpose - lead to insight and personal growth

Answer 61

1. Injured body may immediately begin dissipating force and natural healing process with follow 2. Physical forces imposed upon body may be retained rather than dissipated. Drains energy. May have to move through series of injuires May have to break up one big energy cyst and then work on smaller pieces

Answer 62

1. DOE 2. DR 3. RTR 4. SER, therapeutic imaging, dialogue

Answer 63

1. Hypersensitive: stimulus threshold is decreased, respond to minimum input 2. Hyperactive: stimuli triggers are increased, because it's stimulated too much; chronically overstimulated (Hyper-responsive: too much response, complete regional pain disorder to stimulus is should not respond to) 3. Dysautonomia: when 1 & 2 happen too much (Dystrophic: system so impaired, limited nutrition / protein deprivation to target cells/organs) 4. Results in dysfunction of end organs / tissues / structures: including organs, skin, glands, blood vessels, muscles, etc.

Answer 64

1. Hyperactive motor root 2. Related sympathetic ganglion becomes hyperactive 3. Dysfunctional. deterioration of target organs 4. Sensory stimuli related to dysfunction sent back to spinal cord segment 5. Further increased facilitation of motor signals

Answer 65

1. Palpable change in tissues texture (shoddy, mushy, lower tone) 2. Tissues are tender and often painfully irritable when palpated 3. Joints are less mobile 4. Changes in skin texture, sweat gland activity, and capillary blood supply to skin (skin might be dry, area isn't creating sweat,

Answer 66

To find and treat hyperactive, hypersensitive spinal cord segments, i.e. FS

Answer 67

Varies depending on which approach to treatment the therapist chooses to employ

Answer 68

1. Find the first FS: - DT traction - perispinal drag - gentle palpation along the vertebral column - arcing 2. Treat the segment, calm irritation, get nutrients in FS - DT traction, DT R&G, or - DOE - DR or fascial glide on segment or - Segmental RTR / unwinding, or - Any combination of the above 3. Then find the organ or structure associated with FS using fascial glide, arcing, intuit, feel energetically. 4. Treat organ or structure - DOE or - DR of fascial glide or - Segmental RTR / unwinding or - Etc 5. Finally, treat the pathway between FS and the organ / structure with DOE or modified DT R&G - one hand on segment, one on source - DOC or R&G along pathway

Answer 69

Relax muscle Mobilize DT, join, fluid Reduce postural stress Decrease inflammation / irritation of spinal cord, dura, ganglia, nerves, organ Reduce signals from higher centers of CNS Interrupt self-perpetuating activity of FS Release sympathetic overdrive of ANS at FS

Answer 70

1. Arcing - Energy cysts (active lesions) - DOE, RTR, DR, SER, etc 2. Dural Tube Eval - FS - DT Traction, DOE, DR, fascial glide 3. Fascial glide - fascial restrictions and adhesions - fascial glide, DR, DOE 4. CSR - Fascial restrictions and adhesions; SQAR issued - anything from CS1 or CS2

Answer 71

b. Energy cyst

Answer 72

False - It is due to venous drainage might be compromise and create a back flow

Answer 73

c. flexion / extension

Answer 74

d. abnormal tension in the horizontally arranged fascial fibers in the body

Answer 75

E. All of the above

Answer 76

False: It feels rigid, osseous, hard. A restriction in the cranial membrane feels elastic in nature.

Answer 77

Flexion and extension

Answer 78

Stabilizing the occiput, and the corrected ROM moves a great distance away from the neutral zone

Answer 79

to treat an active lesion / energy cyst identified with arcing, or an know injury to an extremity

Answer 80

firmly support the extremity with one hand and place the other hand on the active lesion or symptom site and monitor the CSR with this hand

Answer 81

- allow extremity to move through strain pattern - may have to rock the extremity to help person relax - monitor for CSR and wait for SD, hold limb still and let body experience significant position - release will occur and the CSR return and moves to the next point of tissue release and SD - continue process until the release is complete along the pathway of the injury

Answer 82

Lateral Strain Check - is this correct?

Answer 83

find and treat fascial restriction or inactive lesions

Answer 84

blend and meld with tissues - side by side - anterior - posterior - lateral and medial Can assess shoulders / clavicles with "cat kneading" at shoulders

Answer 85

Apply gentle traction in arbitrary directions or stacking until a release and softening is achieved Stacking can include: - inferior / superior - medial / lateral - CW / CCW
