Thompson Highlights!!! Texas 3 step…Set the table, Set the patient, and Set the Doctor.
2) Set the Patient: Patient…prone or supine.
Table setting: Tilt the cervical head piece down & foot piece up.
Alignment: Cervical & Thoracic…Head rest paper is located 1 inch below the bottom of
the mandible. Pelvic adjusting (prone)…A.S.I.S’s are in the gap.

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome
There is no Leg length analysis for this condition.
The patient will demonstrate spinous laterality from C2 to C7 (Maximum spinous laterality will be observed at C2).

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome
Analysis: The patient will exhibit palpable tension and tenderness at the upper trapezius muscle--on the side of spinous laterality.
Alert the Chiro!!!

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome
The syndrome will be identified from the X-ray--spinous laterality.
Alert the Chiropractor with the tight trap.
(Patient must present with both findings before adjusting).

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome
O.C.S.’s are rare.
Always rule out an O.C.S. on the initial visit--if possible.

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome
Common findings :Patient presents with torticollis or a chronic, unresolving cervical problems.
Adjusted for an U.C.S. , B.C.S. , or a X.D.C.S. with no or minimal results.

Leg length Analysis
The most important step! Extension:
# 1) 3 point landing: Thumb on heels and I.F. and C.I.F. split the lateral maleoli.
#2) Take out inversion and eversion. #3) Slight headward pressure…not to much--not to
little--just right. #4) Sight between the heel counters and identify the
short leg.
![Page 13: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Leg length Analysis
The most important step! Flexion:
#1) Raise the feet to 90. #2) Try to keep the feet apart--Don’t let them rub or touch when
bringing them to 90. #3) The shoe should be kept flat against the bottom of the heel
for proper analysis. #4) Sight between the heel counters, through the gluteal cleft,
and to the E.O.P. #5) Identify the short leg…either side!
![Page 14: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bilateral Cervical Syndrome Legs are even in extension Head left - left leg shortens. Head right - right leg shortens. Palpation may reveal tender nodules
bilaterally (occipital brim) and/ or tenderness of the C2 spinous process.
![Page 15: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bilateral Cervical Syndrome The Bilateral Cervical Syndrome is an
occipital fixation adjustment. Pisiform placement…Mastoid notches! Ulnar deviate. may also exhibit T.M.J. complaints due to
the direct osseous relationship.

Unilateral Cervical Syndrome
Short leg in extension that improves upon head rotation.
Syndrome is named for the side that lengthens the short leg.
Adjustment is performed on the contralateral side.
![Page 17: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Unilateral Cervical Syndrome
Upon Palpation, a palpable, tender nodule will be found over the lamina of the involved vertebra.
L.O.D.’s: C2 & C3…P - A, I - S C4 & C5…P - A, straight across C6 & C7…P - A, S - I
![Page 18: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Left Unilateral Cervical Syndrome :(Pages 156 &157)
Short leg in extension. Head Rotation
The syndrome is named by the direction of head rotation that produces an improvement / evening of the short leg in extension. RL
![Page 20: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Left Unilateral Cervical Syndrome :(Pages 156 &157)
B.R. Malposition; Spinous Left; - Y.
Rotation to the Right--Increase subluxation. Rotation to the Left--Decrease subluxation.
An increase will shorten the short leg.
A Decrease will lengthen the short leg.

Thoracic Analysis & Adjustment
S.H.C. and P.O.T.:
Use the same rules that you applied in the Lumbar region!
![Page 71: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Thoracic Analysis & Adjustment
Double Transverse: Doctor Stance--on side of rotation. Place the I.H.C. down first: Inferior
Hand Contacts TVP on the side of posterior body rotation. Superior Hand Contacts TVP opposite the body rotation--usually one to two segments below (pg 145). Use between the general levels of T4 to T10.
![Page 72: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Thoracic Analysis & Adjustment
Double Thenar: Either side for Posterior listing--E.S.N. over midline. Scissor stance on
the side of posterior body rotation. 4 to 8 inches lateral to midline--when adjusting body rotation. Posterior--No stabilization--both thenars thrust. Body Rotation--Opposite TVP--mainly for stabilization.
![Page 73: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Anterior Thoracic--Chap.12
Identified through palpation of the spinous processes.
Flattened thoracic kyphosis or “dishing” (Pottinger Saucer).
“Dishing” will frequently be compensatory to a loss of the cervical lordosis.
![Page 74: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Anterior Thoracic--Chap.12 Dorsal pad activation
The anterior thoracic blocker should contact the patient at the TVP of the vertebra below the anterior subluxation or at the bottom of the anterior stack or “dish” when observed.
Two choices: Mid sternal stabilization & Mid axillary stabilization
![Page 75: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Anterior Thoracic--Chap.12
Patient positioning: Supine, with arm on the side opposite the Doctor’s stance crossed over the top.
3 thrust…However, the Thoracic subluxation will usually correct with one thrust…If this occurs, the second and third thrust will not be necessary.

Costal Analysis and Adjustment--Chap. 17
The majority of Rotated Ribs presentations involve a superior misalignment of the posterior aspect and an inferior misalignment of the anterior aspect of the rib.
![Page 77: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Costal Analysis and Adjustment--Chap. 17
Posterior contact: Contact the Rib tubercle with the Superior hand--pointing towards the opposite shoulder.
Anterior contact: Contact the Anterior/Inferior aspect of the rib--2” to 3” lateral to the costosternal articulation.
Practice “patient accommodation or protection”
![Page 78: Thompson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/55cf9b8f550346d033a689ab/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Elevated Rib Cage Patient presentation:
1) A unilateral elevation of the shoulder, clavicle and scapula 2) A visual elevation of the inferior border of the rib cage 3) Radiographic presentation of rib cage elevation 4) Patient presentation of respiratory, cardiac or digestive
complaints. 5)****A tender nodule on the involved side of elevation, at the
level of the second intercostal space, within the pectoralis major muscle, approximately 2” lateral to the sternum.

Atlas Alternative--Chp. 18 3 reasons:
1) Patient’s mastoid processes are elongated and overlap the TVP.
2) Patient’s Atlas TVP are short and small. 3) The Doctor’s hands are too large for the
patient…I.e.: See Peter for details!!!
