which may help in understanding
the origin of hip pain.”
Studies have noted that the iliolumbar ligament has a rich nerve
supply suggesting that the injury
of this ligament might contribute
to the low back pain. An Oxford
Journal Rheumatology study “demonstrated that the sternoclavicular
joint is capable of referring pain to
areas distant from the joint.” The
paper then states “knowledge of
these referral patterns will enable
the SCJ to be considered in clients
with pain in these areas. “ It has
been documented that the “PCLs
have constant nociceptive sensory
innervation and is the possible
source of OA knee pain.”
The American Journal of Orthopaedics advocate using pain maps
as diagnostic tools in shoulder clinics. Like trigger point charts, these
pain maps can help you better get
to the source of your client’s pain by
helping you identify typical referral
patterns.
If you have clients complaining
of referred pain that you
just can’t figure out, if
you treat joint dysfunction and want to better
understand the discomfort your clients are
feeling, if you want to a
add more value to your
practice and your clients… this information
is invaluable.
The Ligamentous
Articular Strain Technique course teaches
therapists to precisely
and specifically treat
joint dysfunctions. Each
course includes pertinent information on
each ligamentous articular structure and it’s pain
referral pattern.
