+TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Anatomy and Pain Generators Where is the problem? Studies? Diagnoses and codes? Assessments Exercises

+Before we get started…

We will be discussing functional, integrative, dynamic anatomy

Upper body is affected by lower body

Focus is on functional relief of chronic pain

+ANATOMY/PAIN GENERATORS

Muscle

Joint

Bone

Nerve

Organ

Cramping, spasm

Twinge, ache

Sharp, stabbing

Burning, radiating

Pressure, ‘anxious’

Anatomical element Pain

+Fundamental Movements

Push

Pull

Swing

Squat

Rotate

Postural Slings

Anterior oblique Ext oblique Contralat int oblique Contralat adductors Ant abdominal fascia

Lateral Gluteus medius/minimus TFL Lateral thoracopelvic

stabilizers

Posterior oblique Lat dorsi Contralat gluteus maximus

via thoracodorsal fascia

Longitudinal Peroneals Biceps femoris Sacrotuberous ligament Deep thoracodorsal fascia Erector spinae

Neutral Posture

Typically described as cervical curve over lumbar curve

“Ear over Shoulder over hip over knee”

+Studies?

Radiography X-ray CT MRI

Labs

EMG

Ultrasound

Indicated for neurological sx’s Radiating pain Myelopathy

Constitutional sx’s

UMN vs LMN

Localized sx’s

+Needs Further Workup

Constitutional symptoms: F/C/N/V/D

Significant weight gain or loss

Appears “ill”

Neurological asymmetries: pupil, autonomic, seizures, LOC

Where is the problem?
