Technique Flashcards
Lumbar RP
Doctor stands on right side of the horse in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact on the right mammillary process of the lumbar. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with a torque toward the head with sternal notch over the contact
Sacral segment right
Doctor stands on right side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the superior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact on the right side of the involved sacral tubercle. Thrust is lateral to medial from the right with slight dorsal to ventral with sternal notch in line with the direction of thrust.
Posterior thoracic
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the inferior hand to contact the spinous of the vertebra that’s posterior. The thrust is mostly caudal to cranial with slight dorsal to ventral with the doctor looking toward the head of the animal.
Category 2 pi
Doctor stands on the opposite side of the pi. Ilium in a fencer stance and contacts the opposite tuber sacrale with the inferior hand. The thrust is in a medial to lateral, caudal to cranial, dorsal to ventral direction through the tuber coxae on the same side as the pi.
Pubic symphysis ischial tuberosities challenged clockwise
Doctor stands safely at the rear of the horse contacting the inferior left ischial tuberosity and Superior right ischial tuberosity. The correction is a pulsing of the right ischial tuberosity ventrally and the left ischial tuberosity dorsally.
Intertransverse joint
Doctor stands on the side of the involved intertransverse joint in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact on the intertransverse joint. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with a torque toward the head with sternal notch over the contact.
Anterior rib
Doctor stands on the side of the involved rib and places firm pressure at the costal sternal joint in the direction of correction. An assistant will either lift and move the front limb on the involved side or have the animal take a step.
Sacral base posterior
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact over the s1 s2. Tubercle. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with some caudal to cranial.
Category 2 in
Doctor stands on the opposite side of the in Ilium in a fencer stance and contacts the opposite tuber sacrale with the inferior hand. The thrust is in a medial to lateral direction.
Category 3 right pi
Dr. Stands on the left side of the horse in a fencer stance and contacts the right side of L6 spinous with the right thumb and uses a broad contact with the left hand across the tuber sacrale. The correction is to stabilize L6 and rock the pelvis with the left hand from left to right.
Lower thoracic LP
Doctor stands on Left side of the horse in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact on the Left transverse process of the thoracic. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with a torque toward the head with sternal notch over the contact.
Category 1 right pi
Dr. Stands on either side of the horse in a square stance and contacts the upper portion of the right psis and the lower portion of the left PSIS. The correction is to pump the PSIs on the right medial to lateral, dorsal to ventral, caudal to cranial and the PSIs on the left medial to lateral, dorsal to ventral, cranial to caudal.
Posterior caudal rib
Dr. Stands on the side of the involved rib and uses the Pisiform of the inferior hand to contact the costal Arch. The thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with a torque toward the head with the doctor looking toward the head.
Sacral Apex left
Doctor stands on the left side of the horse in a fencer stance and contacts the Apex of the sacrum with the superior hand. The correction is made in a lateral to medial direction.
Category 2 ex
Doctor stands on the same side of the ex Ilium in a fencer stance and contacts the lateral tuber sacrale on the same side with a reinforced pisiform contact. The thrust is in a lateral to medial direction.
Sacral Apex posterior
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a square stance and uses the Superior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact over the sacral Apex. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with some cranial to caudal.
Lumbar PR
Doctor stands on the right side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the inferior hand to make a pisiform contact on the right spinous. The thrust is straight lateral to medial and slight caudal to cranial with slight dorsal to ventral to maintain contact.
Upper thoracic PR
Doctor stands on the right side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the Superior hand to make a pisiform contact on the right spinous. An assistant will use the heels of their hands to stabilize the spinous above and below from the opposite side of the horse. The thrust is straight lateral to medial and slight caudal to cranial.
Category 2 as
Doctor stands on the opposite side of the horse as the as in a fencer stance and uses a reinforced Pisiform contact on the inferior PSIs. The thrust is dorsal to ventral cranial to caudal and lateral to medial.
Lower thoracic PL
Doctor stands on the Left side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the inferior hand to make a pisiform contact on the Left spinous. The thrust is straight lateral to medial and slight caudal to cranial with slight dorsal to ventral to maintain contact.
Posterior lumbar
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a fencer stance and uses the inferior hand to contact the spinous of the vertebra that’s posterior. The thrust is mostly caudal to cranial with slight dorsal to ventral with the doctor looking toward the head of the animal.
Pubic symphysis ischial tuberosity challenged lateral to medial
Doctor stands safely at the rear of the horse contacting Medial ischial tuberosities. The correction is a pulsing of the ischial tuberosities laterally.
Right base posterior
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact over the s1 s2 Tubercle with slight bias to the right side of the sacrum. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with some caudal to cranial.
Left base posterior
Doctor stands on either side of the horse in a square stance and uses the inferior hand for a reinforced pisiform contact over the s1 s2 Tubercle with slight bias to the left side of the sacrum. Thrust is straight dorsal to ventral with some caudal to cranial.
