Definition
of Terms
Bio-mechanical
Lesion: Injury to the body (internal or external) by a mechanical
action such as lifting or repeatitious movements.
Intradiscal
Fluid: Fluid in the spinal disc. Keeps the Nucleus Pulposus
in a jelly-like state. Contains oxygen, nutrients etc.
Mechanoreceptor
Fibers: Nerve fibers that react to stretching and movement.
Annular
Fibers: Fibers that make up the outside retaining structure
of the disc. These keep the nucleus pulposus in place.
Nucleus
Pulposus: The jelly-like filling within the disc that gives
it its shock absorbing quality. It is kept in place by the Annular
Fibers. The Intradiscal Fluid keeps the Nucleus Pulposus from drying
out.
Myospasm:
Muscle Spasm - Sudden, abnormal involuntary muscular contraction.
Osseous:
Consisting of bone. Biological
Harmonic
Resonance: A vibrating frequency whereby a living cell becomes
most effective at uptaking nutrients, evacuates toxins and produces
energy at its maximum efficiency. All matter vibrates at certain
frequencies.
Proprioceptor:
A nerve fiber that senses stretch and movement.
Nociceptor:
A nerve fiber that senses stress or damage and causes the sensation
of pain.
Inhibitory
Interneurons: Cells that inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses.
Lordotic
Curvature: Normal forward bending curvature of the cervical
and lumbar spine
Articular
facets: Joints on the vertebrae that limit motion.
Zygapophyseal
Joints: Joints on the vertebrae the contain nerve fibers.
Fibroblasts:
Cells that produce a material called fibrin that repairs and heals
cells.
Accupressure
Meridians: Channels of energy along the acupuncture points.
Bio-feedback
Pulse: Nerve impulses emitted in response to returning impulses
in a bio-feedback system. In a bio-feedback system, part of an originating
pulse is returned to initiate a response, that response is a Bio-feedback
Pulse.
Myofascitis:
Inflammation of the Muscle.
