who is associated with cord compression theory
BJ palmer
what is the cord compression theory
severe subluxation and ligament laxity C1-2
dentate TRACTION cause direct mechanical irritation
what is the cord traction theory
craniopelvic manipulation to restore CSF flow
CSF pump - sphenobasilar and sacral
what is vertebral artery insufficiency theory
cervical rotation causes symptoms
nausea, nystagmus, numbess
rotate to the right and artery is physiologically occluded on the left
rotate to the right and artery is pathological on the right
what is the dural torque or dentate cord distortion theory
dentate ligaments stabilize spinal cord during rotational stress or torque - attaches Pia to dura - made of Pia mater
what is the intervertebral encroachment theory
