|---|---|
 Viscerosomatic | Problem in the organs can cause dysfunction or trigger points in the mm |
| Somatovisceral | Problem in mm causes dysfunction in the organs |
| OsGood-Schlatters Syndrome | Pain and inflammation usually at the tibial tuberosity due to a growth spurt. Affects children btw 10-15 Last aprox. 2 yrs. |
| Cramps | Caused by dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, and repetitive stress |
| Contusion | Deep Bruising |
| Hip Crepitus | Caused by tendon flipping over bone. Laterally w/glutes or TFL flipping over Greater Trochanter Medially w/Iliopsoas flipping over Lesser Trochanter |
| Patellofermoral Syndrome | Usually a tight Vastus Lateralis causes a patella tracking disorder that can wear away the posterior patella cartilage. |
| Plantar fasciitis | Excessive wear leading to inflammation of the plantar fascia in the foot. Associated with weight bearing, obesity, and sudden weight gain |
| Periostitis | Also known as Shin Splints-Periostium (fascial layer) of the tibialis anterior or tibialis posterior is pulled away from the tibia |
| Piriformis syndrome | Piriformis mm irritates the Sciatic Nerve causing pain in the gluteal region, posterior hip, into the foot. Mimics True Sciatica |
| Bulging Disc | Disc is compressed and the disc annulus (outer wall) bulges, causing inflammation. Pain gradually increases over time- Bending Twisting Lifting |
| Herniated Disc | nucleus ruptures through the outer wall and the pain presents gradually. PRIMARY CAUSE OF TRUE SCIATICA |
| Facet | Joint is misaligned and pian is immediate |
| Grade I mm strain | mild to moderate pain, typically no loss of ROM |
| Grade II mm strain | small to large amount of torn tissue, limited function, swellling, heat, redness. |
| Grade III mm strain | Entire mm or tendon is torn,(can include an avulsion w/fracture) an avulsion is an injury in which a body structure is forcibly detached |
| Knee Ligament Spains/Tears | ACL LCL MCL * PCL |
| ACL--anterior cruciate ligament injury | violent rotation while foot is in a flat fixed position. |
| LCL---lateral collateral ligament injury | knee is forced outward over the little toe |
| MCL--medial collateral ligament sparin | Knee is forced inward, usually a lateral blow |
| PCL-posteror cruciate and capsular ligament sprains | knee is hyperextended or forced backwards |
| Miniscus- | Shock absorbing cartilage btw femur and tibia |
