Viscerosomatics
The sympathetic level(s) for the Head & Neck
T1-T4
The muscle(s) which are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 3-5.
Pectoralis minor
Patient refusal is classified as this type of contraindication.
These reflexes occur when visceral dysfunctions cause somatic changes, such as muscle tension or pain, and are a key focus in OMM to diagnose and treat autonomic imbalances.
Viscerosomatic Reflexes
This OMT model considers the factors affecting health, emphasizing lifestyle changes and stress management.
Behavioral Model
The sympathetic level(s) for the heart
T1-T5
The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for rib 1.
Anterior & Middle Scalenes
Inability to tolerate treatment is classified as this type of contraindication.
Relative
These reflex points are palpable, tender nodules that correspond to specific visceral organs and are used in OMM to assess and influence autonomic nervous system function.
Chapman's Points
This OMT model emphasizes enhancing the flow of fluids in the body, including lymphatic and venous circulation, to improve respiratory and circulatory function.
Respiratory-Circulatory Model
The sympathetic level(s) for the lungs
T2-T7
The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 6-8.
Serratus anterior
HVLA in the sprained joint of patient is classified as this type of contraindication.
Absolute
This treatment balances the parasympathetics for the Head & Neck
Suboccipital release
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has a direct affect on this OMT Model.
Metabolic-Energy Model
The parasympathetic level(s) for the Head & Neck
CNX (Vagus nerve)
The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 11-12.
Quadratus lumborum
Lymphatic drainage in a cancer patient is classified as this type of contraindication.
Relative
This direct form of OMT can be used to quickly treat asthma via stimulating dilation of the bronchi.
HVLA
Increased goblet cell activity directly affect this OMT Model.
Neurological Model
The parasympathetic level(s) for the lungs.
CNX (Vagus nerve)
The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 9-10.
Latissimus dorsi
Down Syndrome is classified as this type of contraindication.
depends on specific treatment
;)
Unopposed sympathetics has this affect on goblet cell activity.
This OMT Model is affected by a Diaphragmatic restriction.
