Q

The primary movement of the atlas in subluxation is

23
Q

Atlas tracks along long axis on one side and

A

Slips on transverse axis ont eh other side

24
Q

ASR

A

Slips on the right
Overlap on right
Right protractor view

25
Q

Indicator for labeling misalginemtn

A

Anterior tubercle of atlas

26
Q

Oblique angle

A

Convergence angle of condyle from BP

27
Q

Slope and convexity angles are taken from

A

Protracto view

28
Q

To find atlas-condyle articulation

A

Start at lower spine
Move up to dens
Move lateral toward chin

29

33
Q

Most mobile section of the spine

A

Cervical spine

34
Q

Increased mobility results in

A

Decreased stability

35
Q

Only ones without the means of self-correcting

A

Top two vertebrae in the spine

36
Q

Muscle that provides positioning of atlas and axis receive nerve supply from nerves that pass through

A

C1-2 segemnts

37
Q

A specific upper cervical adjustment can restructure

A

The entire spine

38
Q

Asymmetry in vertebra develops during growth as a consequence of

A

Asymmetrical muscle pull

39
Q

Attempt to palpate should not assume that perceived restriction indicates pathological motion

A

It may be normal anatomy

40
Q

Dentate ligament cord distortion hypothesis

A

Elasticity of dentate dissipates with some stress but chronci tension may produced thicking and strengthing of the ligament decreaseing it’s ability to damp the distortive foreces before they can deform the cord

41
Q

Macrotrauma and microtrauma cause subluxations

A

Chemical and emotional trauma as well

42
Q

Food poisioning, adverse reaction to medication, overdosage of drugs all seem to affect the neck similar to

A

Grabbing onto a bare electrical wire - shock segment into displaced position

43
Q

When under intense emotional stress, the skull can weigh many times it’s normal weight forcing the spinal segment to dislodge in

A

The direction of weakness

44
Q

Atlas acts as a circuit breaker and displaces when the system

A

Is overloaded

45
Q

Jackson

A

Whiplash

46
Q

90% of neck disorders are caused by

Trauma

47
Q

85% of trauma is

A

MVA

48
Q

Approximately 2/3 of neck pain pateints are

A

Women

49
Q

Injured necks often irritate C1-3 nerve roots resulting in typical symptoms

A 
Neck pain and limited neck mtion
Headache
Blurry vision
Dizziness and nausea
Shortness of breath, palpitations, anterior chest pain, and upper back muscle spams
50
Q

Why x-ray

A

If you can’t see it, you can’t fix it

51
Q

Find it, fix it, and

A

Leave it alone

52
Q

Primary subluxation of C1 is followed by

A

Primary curvature of cervical segments below

53
Q

Log Jam

A

Inability of the average chiropractor to properly analyze and adjust the upper cervical subluxation

Eventually leads to more compensating effects below cervical spine

54
Q

Approximately ___ % of patients visiting a chiropractor do so because of lower back pain

A

52%
