Any OMT gods out there? Im a little confused between viscerosomatic reflex points and chapman points. Are these points used for treatment or diagnosis? If treatment, how do you manipulate these points (ie: do you do HVLA, muscle energy, etc to these levels to stimulate them?)
Also, from my understanding of Savarese, Viscerosomatic reflexes INHIBIT the parasympathic pathways, and Chapman points INHIBIT the sympathetics?
Lets say, for an example, a pt has excessive diarrhea. What is the approach for treating this patient? Inhibit the parasympathetics or stimulate Chapman pts?
