Thompson / Upper CervicalTexas 3 step

Set the TableSet the PatientSet the Doctor

Page 2: Thompson

Thompson Highlights!!! Texas 3 step…Set the table, Set the patient, and Set the Doctor.

1) Set the table: Select the proper dial setting for the appropriate pads. I.e.: Cervical Adjustment setting would include the following. Dial set on “D”, plunger in, weighing the Cervical and Dorsal piece respectfully (More details in Lecture & Lab).

Page 3: Thompson

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.

Page 4: Thompson

Thompson Highlights!!! Texas 3 step…Set the table, Set the patient, and Set the Doctor.

3) Set the Doctor: Must have proper stance, L.O.D., S.C.P.’s, etc…More in Lab.

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).

R

Page 7: Thompson

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!!!

R

Page 8: Thompson

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).

R

Page 9: Thompson

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome

O.C.S.’s are rare.

Always rule out an O.C.S. on the initial visit--if possible.

R

Page 10: Thompson

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.

Overcompensated Cervical Syndrome

LLL-R or RRR-L: Left spinous rotation;

Left taut and tender trap; Left head Rotation; Right 1st rib adjustment

(Adjusting procedures on page 154 &155).

Watch the TMJ!!!

Page 12: Thompson

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

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

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

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.

Page 16: Thompson

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

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

Unilateral Cervical Syndrome

After Clearing an U.C.S. in extension…See flow chart on page 108--chapter 9.

Only one thrust---for all cervical adjustments!

Page 19: Thompson

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

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.

Sacral Analysis

No leg length analysis

Stabilized, prone leg raiser test to identify the Left or Right Sacral subluxation or the Base posterior

Page 51: Thompson

Sacral Analysis

Patient is prone

Doctor assumes a straight away stance

Places heel of the superior hand on the sacral base with fingers pointing inferior

Page 52: Thompson

Sacral Analysis

Apply P - A pressure…appropriate amount to stabilize the sacrum

Instruct the patient to raise the left or right leg of the table, while maintaining a straight leg

Page 53: Thompson

Sacral Analysis Observe the elevation of the leg being raised…

then have the patient to raise the opposite leg…compare the two heights

The leg that does not raise as high is considered the side of sacral subluxation

The sacrum should be listed and adjusted on the low leg side

Page 54: Thompson

Sacral Analysis List the sacral subluxation on the low leg

side: A) 4 inch or > difference between the left and right leg B) Less than 4 inch height difference; difficulty and or pain when

raising the low leg C) If neither leg raises off the table and there is pain and/or

difficulty--Base Posterior.

S.C.P.

T1,2,3 & L4,5---Use an inferior hand contact. All other contacts use a superior hand contact (Single Hand Contact and Pisiform Over Thumb Contact).

Thoracic Analysis & Adjustment Analysis and Patient positioning: (Pg 143)

Adjustment: #1) Single Hand Contact #2) Pisiform Over Thumb #3) Double Transverse #4) Double Thenar…(pg 143-146)

Page 70: Thompson

Thoracic Analysis & Adjustment

S.H.C. and P.O.T.:

Use the same rules that you applied in the Lumbar region!

Page 71: Thompson

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

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

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

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

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.

Page 76: Thompson

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

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

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.

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
