Assessing the Primary Subluxation Pattern

assesing the subluxation patterns:




general:

the rib cage tends to veer to the side of L3 rotation.

neck rotation ease tends to be oposite L3 rotation.



check L1

if L TP is posterior L,

SB L,

this is likely part of an L3 Rot R SB R pattern.



stand patient with feet aligned.

FB patient from the waist,

with arms hanging loosely on either side



if the rib cage shifts R

and shoulders rotate left,

you most probably have an L3 Rot R SB R pattern.



the right scrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments will be tight

in supine, the patient will have left neck rotation ease.

lumbar SB ease is to the Left.





IN and L3 rot L, SB R pattern,

the rib cage veers left

and the shoulders rotate R

the left sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments are tight

supine, the neck rotation ease is is to the R.
