28
Treatment position for anterior lumbar point L5
1. Patient is supine and the physician is standing on the SAME SIDE as the tenderpoint with your leg on the table 2. Flex the patients hips and knees over your thigh 3. Rotate the patients hips and knees TOWARD YOU 4. Move the patients ankles AWAY FROM YOU
29
Treatment position for midline posterior lumbar tenderpoints L1-5
1. Patient is prone and the physician is on the OPPOSITE SIDE from the tenderpoint 2. Grab the thigh on the same side as the tenderpoint and EXTEND until the dysfunctional segment is engaged. Can use a pillow to help support the extension of the thigh 3. ADDUCT and EXTERNALLY ROTATE the thigh
30
Treatment position for lateral posterior lumbar tenderpoints L1-5
1. Patient is prone, physician is standing on the OPPOSITE SIDE from the tenderpoint 2. Sidebend by pushing the legs TOWARD the direction of the tenderpoint 3. Grasp the ASIS and rotate it towards you. Can use a pillow under the ASIS
31
Quadratus lumborum tenderpoints
Lateral to the lateral posterior lumbar tenderpoints
32
Treatment position for quadratus lumborum tender points
1. Patient is prone, phsyician is on the SAME SIDE as the tender point 2. Grab the lower leg, extend and abduct it 3. Flex the knee 4. Grab the ankle to internally or externally rotate the leg
33
Anterior cervical tenderpoint C1 (AC1)
About halfway between angle of mandible and mastoid process
34
Anterior cervical tenderpoints C2-6
Anterior aspect of the transverse process at that level
35
Anterior cervical tenderpoint for C7 (type 1 dysfunction of C7)

46
Anterior tenderpoint for rib 2
Midclavicular line, 2nd rib
47
Anterior tenderpoint for ribs 3-6
Anterior axillary line for the corresponding ribs
48
Treatment position for anterior ribs 1-6
General; seated, flexed neck, sidebend toward, rotate toward. More specific: 1. Patient is in the "mermaid" position; seated with the legs up on the table on the side of the tenderpoint 2. Physician puts knee up on table OPPOSITE the tenderpoint and puts the patients arm over the physician's thigh 3. Then sidebend and rotate the patient's torso toward the tenderpoint and flex the patients neck
49
Posterior tenderpoint for rib 1

52
Treatment for posterior ribs 2-6
1. Patient sits with legs up on table OPPOSITE of the diagnosis (mermaid-like position again) 2. Phsyician places foot on the table on the IPSILATERAL side of the diagnosis under the patients axilla 3. Then you flex the patients neck, sidebend the torso away and rotate the torso away
53
Supraspinatus tenderpoint and treatment
Position: Middle of supraspinatus muscle | Treatment: Grab the arm and Flex, ABDuct, and Externally Rotate FABDER
54
Infraspinatus tenderpoint and treatment
Position: Middle of infraspinatus muscle | Treatment: Flex, internally rotate and abduct the shoulder FIRABD
55
Levator scapulae tenderpoint and treatment
Position: Above the superior angle of the scapula on the levator scapula Treatment: 1. Patient is laying prone with their head rotated away from the tenderpoint 2. Grab the wrist of the patient on the same side as the tenderpoint and internally rotate, abduct, and add traction
56
Iliacus tenderpoint and treatment
Location: 1/3 of the distance between ASIS and midline Treatment: Put the patients legs into the "frog leg" position where the ankles are crossed, hips and knees are flexed to 90 degrees, knees are dropped apart and the legs are resting on the physicians knee
57
Piriformis tenderpoint
With the patient prone, find the halfway point between the PSIS and the ILA. Then find the halfway point between that point and the greater trochanter. This should be the location of the piriformis
