Vertebrobasilar Arterial Insufficiency Hypothesis
strong>Vertebrobasilar Arterial Insufficiency Hypothesis (VBAI)/strong> Vertebrobasilar circulatory disorders are disorders in which blood supply to the back of the brain is disrupted somehow. Cervical intervertebral subluxations may cause deflection or compression of the vertebral arteries, which thereby gives rise to altered cerebral blood supply.!–more–> VBAI Syndrome may include symptoms and signs of: Headache nausea dizziness [...]
Dentate Ligament Cord Distortion Hypothesis
We know according to the Dentate Ligament Cord Distortion Hypothesis, the dentate ligament holds the spinal cord to as the anterior half or at about two o’clock position of the spinal cord. Its primary function is to pass on the pressure of stress as a result distortive forces to the dura. Pressure exerted by the [...]
What are the long term effects of nerve root pressure?
There is a gradient character to the effects of conduction blockage. In other words, the greater the pressure the larger the amount of nerve flow is affected. When a spinal nerve (root) is subjected to pressure, the order of functional deficit is the loss of motor function, proprioception, touch, temperature, pain and finally sympathetic system [...]
How does Flexion of the cervical spine affect IVF structures?
Flexion of the cervical spine pulls the nerve root to the upper margin of the intervetebral foramen at the C8 to T5 level. The same phenomenon was also found to occur in the lumbar and sacral nerves.
Are there Research to show that pinched nerve occurs?
In short, pinch no as far as we know does not occur but impinged nerve does. Dr Ed Crelin, PhD. in 1973, teacher of the year from Yale University did a study to find out if indeed pinched nerve occurred according to what some chiropractors claimed as pinched nerve. He studied 6 cadavers on a [...]
