Boatswain2PA Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Febrifuge - good philosophical rant there, everyone should read it again. Keep that up and you'll have to change your name to Philosifuge.... :-) Edit: Wait, that would you mean you "love" the "fuge". Not sure what that would mean, so scratch that!

CAAdmission Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Good question CJ and possibly why there is so much misconception about rib adjustment. It is not in fact the rib that is out of place but more the associated thoracic level that is restricted in a plane of motion. The patient feels the acute pa So I am guessing that it is being alleged that the articulation between the rib and the corresponding vertebra somehow "locks up?" What is the pathophysiology for this occurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-S Zoidberg Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 So I am guessing that it is being alleged that the articulation between the rib and the corresponding vertebra somehow "locks up?" What is the pathophysiology for this occurring? Postural mechanics, sprain/strain mechanism. It is not necessarily the CV junction that locks up. It is more like the rib is along for the ride on the vertebral level that is not moving. Vertebral level could be restricted by any number of processes. Muscle tone/strength imbalance, facet joint adhesion etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
