    Anchor Bay Spine Center Case Study

    Diane Fenchel is a chiropractic physical therapist at Anchor Bay Spine Center in New Baltimore, Michigan. She has a second job for which she is the manager of the physical therapy department in a medical care facility. She spoke unfavorably of her second job, however. Diane said she does not like the system in place there, “it’s disorganized and has a lot of obstacles everyone has to push through, plus I don’t like the traditional medical field anyway.” Unfortunately Diane’s position does not entail the restructuring of systematic procedures for greater efficiency. Diane would not choose this managerial profession again. But what keeps Diane going is her passion for helping people & relating with them.…

    The Unbroken Spine: An Analysis

    Famous film director and entrepreneur George Lucas once said, “technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want”. Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, contradicts Lucas’s opinion by organizing a plot that involves a secret “bibliophile cult” (113), the Unbroken Spine, and their quest to solve the Founder’s Puzzle. Aldus Manutius, the founder of the Unbroken Spine, composed the Codex Vitae without the use of technology, but with the help of Griffo Gerritszoon and his handmade typeface. When decoded, the Codex Vitae will hold the key to eternal life for all members of the Unbroken Spine. When Clay Jannon gets a job at Penumbra’s bookstore, he is intrigued…

    Vertebral Artery Dissection Case Study

    Each of these presentations can present in conjunction with one another or separately. In patients around age of 65, degenerative, arteriosclerotic changes and improper alignment can result in an have a negative effect on the portion of the vertebral artery that passes through the transverse foramen of upper cervical spine.3 This negative effect can result in an increased susceptibility for a spontaneous Vertebral Artery Dissection. Thoracic kyphosis can present with three different forms of posture that include uncompensated, compensated and congruent posture.4 Each of these kyphotic postures can place the body at increased vertebral compressive loading. Results regarding posture, concluded that uncompensated posture had the highest amount of vertebral body loading present. 4Forward head also commonly referred to as decreased cervical lordosis, can be associated with a variety of dysfunctions including but not limited to a reduction in range of motion and headache pain secondary to the cervical spine and the scapular stabilizers.5 These dysfunctions are most likely associated with improper spine alignment secondary to degeneration of the spine and weakness or atrophy of the scapular stabilizers. This state weakness and degeneration can place the cervical spine at increased risk for injury due to increased muscular inhibition due to muscle not being in the appropriate range for ultimate activation. Loss of cervical lordosis is also correlated with compromised blood flow of the arteries including the vertebral artery. Compromised blood flow of arteries, especially the vertebral artery in the cervical spine can have negative factors secondary to the decreased amount of blood that is able to be carried and the decreased rate of flow.6 Therefore cervical spine…
