- AutismIn a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook teaching, researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist. That such vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughout the body is surprising on its own, but the true significance of the discovery lies in the effects it could have on the study and treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer’s disease to multiple sclerosis.
- Multiple Sclerosis“Instead of asking, ‘How do we study the immune response of the brain?’ ‘Why do multiple sclerosis patients have the immune attacks?’ now we can approach this mechanistically. Because the brain is like every other tissue connected to the peripheral immune system through meningeal lymphatic vessels,” said Jonathan Kipnis, PhD, professor in the UVA Department of Neuroscience and director of UVA’s Center for Brain Immunology and Glia (BIG). “It changes entirely the way we perceive the neuro-immune interaction. We always perceived it before as something esoteric that can’t be studied. But now we can ask mechanistic questions.”
- UltrasoundThis article demonstrates the changes in the contractability of the TA by manual pressure techniques on the lateral raphe through diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
- SciaticaPurpose: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) may be a cause of sciatica. The aim of this study was to assess which treatment is successful for SIJ-related back and leg pain.
- WhiplashEmerging research illustrating the concept that a possible mechanism of chronic pain in patient may be due to central sensitization after an injury. This article examines the role of central sensitization following injury to the facet joint capsule in cases of whiplash.
- Physical TherapyWhile typical rehab for many injuries is timed in months, recovery with the ARPneuro Therapy is measured in days – consistently 60-80% faster than traditional chiropractic or physical therapy.
- Shoulder Pain
- Back Pain
- Manual TherapyA twelve-hour course to familiarize the manual therapy practitioner with the identification and implications of the middle cross dysfunctional motor pattern in the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. Treatment concepts of ARP Neuro Therapy, Instrument Assisted Myofascial Release and Kinesiology Taping protocols will be covered. The seminar will conclude with tracking patient reported outcomes to assess the effectiveness of these interventions.
- Plantar FasciitisPersistent and reticent MSK issues, such as neck and low back pain, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain and plantar fasciitis all typically are due to an underlying abnormal motor patterning which can be addressed through ARPneuro therapy. In addition, fall prevention in the elderly may be enhanced by addressing the lower limb weakness due to inactivity through ARPneuro therapy.
