Question 21

Why is it necessary to routinely check the lovett of a subluxation after the subluxation has been corrected

Answer 21

If the lovett is not corrected the subluxation may reoccur

Question 22

When checking for a lovett, if there is no subluxation detected at that vertebral level, it is best to check for _________ subluxation

Answer 22

Intraosseous

Question 23

A fixation may mask another fixation. How does this occur

Answer 34

c

Question 35

In the treatment of an acute lumbar disc, pressure is applied in a ________ direction to the spinous or transverse process above the disc while the patient slowly exhales, as the patient inhales, _________ pressure is applied to the vertebra _________ the lesion at the contact point and direction of maximum challenge

Cephalad Caudad Below

Question 36

The character of the associated muscle weakness in a frank intervertebral disc syndrome is different than the usual "weakness" observed in applied kinesiology muscle testing. Explain

Answer 36

The disc syndrome causes frank radiculopathy with muscles weakness in proportion to the degree of nerve impingement. It is not a failure of "locking" as in most AK testing and does not respond to any of the five factors of the IVF
