neuromusculoskeletal

Chiropractors primarily use a manual and conservative approach towards neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Currently they are developing inter-professional pathways of care for manual and conservative treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Depending upon whose point of view; chiropractors are, for example, subluxation-correctors, primary care physicians, neuromusculoskeletal specialists, or holistic health specialists.

Residency programs include dermatology, family practice, general surgery, internal medicine, neuromusculoskeletal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology.

Myotherapy is defined as: "the comprehensive assessment, treatment and management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders and conditions caused by improper biomechanical functioning"

Chiropractors additionally assert that the dysfunction actively alters neurological function, which in turn, is believed to lead to neuromusculoskeletal and visceral disorders.

During the first two years of the chiropractic programme, emphasis is placed on the study of neuromusculoskeletal, spinal and visceral anatomy, physiology, philosophy and pathology.

Neuromusculoskeletal Dysfunction Terms The frequency of neuromuscular/musculoskeletal dysfunction terms is presented in Table 5.

Fellowship programs include cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics-internal medicine, interventional cardiology, neuromusculoskeletal medicine, palliative medicine, and rheumatology.

Manual and manipulative therapies commonly used by chiropractors other manual medicine practitioners are used primarily to help treat low back pain and other neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Soft tissue therapy (STT) is the assessment, treatment and management of soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction primarily of the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Part II covers six clinical subjects - general diagnosis, neuromusculoskeletal diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, principles of chiropractic, chiropractic practice, and associated clinical sciences.

Chiropractic theory suggests spinal dysfunction/subluxation may contribute to neuromusculoskeletal and visceral disorders via aberrant spinal segmental and suprasegmental reflexes.

A 2010 study describing Belgian chiropractors and their patients found chiropractors in Belgium mostly focus on neuromusculoskeletal complaints in adult patients, with emphasis on the spine.

Chiropractors believe that a subluxation complex is a functional biomechanical spinal lesion that can alter neurological function, which in turn, is believed to cause neuromusculoskeletal and visceral disorders.

Also known as manual therapy, manipulative therapy, or manual & manipulative therapy, this is a physical treatment primarily used on the neuromusculoskeletal system to treat pain and disability.

The vast majority who seek chiropractic care do so for relief from back and neck pain and other neuromusculoskeletal complaints; most do so specifically for low back pain.

As such, they restrict their practices to the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and do not believe that DCs are sufficiently trained to serve as PCPs for either adults or children.

Chiropractors practice chiropractic medicine, a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health.

Chiropractors emphasize manual and manipulative therapies as an alternative to medications and surgery for neuromusculoskeletal disorders Chiropractors are generally regarded as primary contact, portal of entry health care providers.

Adjustment/manipulation has been shown to help with low back pain, neck pain and tension type headaches, but further studies are inconclusive on the use of spinal manipulation outside the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Of the 22 neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction terms used in the search strategies, 6 were never used by authors or indexers (apophyseal, blockage, hypomobility, manipulable lesion, motion unit, and quality of motion.)

The neuromusculoskeletal program offers treatment to patients suffering from Neuromuscular Disease, Polio, Burns, Complex Trauma, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Cancer, Amputation and Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Part III covers case history, physical examination, neuromusculoskeletal examination, roentgenologic examination, clinical laboratory and special studies examination, diagnosis or clinical impression, chiropractic techniques, supportive techniques and case management.

Chiropractors are licensed to communicate a neuromusculoskeletal diagnosis and order X-rays and may use broad diagnostic methods including skeletal imaging, observational and tactile assessments as well as orthopedic and neurological evaluation.
