Podcasts about neurodynamics

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common nerve compression issues—but how can massage and manual therapy help? In this in-depth episode, Whitney Lowe and Til Luchau break down the anatomy, risk factors, and assessment strategies for carpal tunnel syndrome, exploring its causes, differential diagnosis, and effective hands-on approaches. They discuss the importance of nerve mobility, client education, and activity modifications to relieve symptoms and improve function. Whether you're a hands-on therapist looking to refine your treatment strategies, or someone experiencing wrist and hand discomfort, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and managing carpal tunnel syndrome.

In this episode of the PhysioTutors podcast, Dr. Annina Schmid, a specialist in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and a professor of pain neurosciences at Oxford University, discusses entrapment neuropathies, focusing on conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome. She explains that these conditions occur when nerves are compressed or irritated as they pass through narrow anatomical spaces, leading to symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and sometimes motor changes like weakness. The conversation covers common types of entrapment neuropathies, diagnostic challenges, and distinctions between peripheral and nerve root entrapment. Dr. Schmid emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition, detailed patient assessment, and understanding the anatomical and neurological aspects of each case. Dr. Schmid also delves into the importance of deep clinical phenotyping and precision physiotherapy, highlighting the need for detailed understanding of patient presentations and individualized treatment approaches. She discusses the potential benefits and mechanisms of neurodynamic treatments and other interventions, stressing that education and managing patient expectations are crucial. The discussion touches on the role of advanced imaging techniques like ultra-high field MRI in diagnosing and treating entrapment neuropathies, and the significance of surgical intervention in severe cases. The episode concludes with Dr. Schmid's takeaways for clinicians, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis, patient education, and innovative research approaches.   Content 00:00 Intro 00:48 What are entrapment neuropathies? 01:48 Typical presentations 02:45 Does Piriformis syndrome exist? 05:10 Causes and Riskfactors of PNE 07:23 Differential diagnosis 13:00 How reliable is dermatome examination 15:25 What is Deep Clinical Phenotyping? 20:20 What is Precision Physiotherapy? 24:37 Effects of Neurodynamics 26:49 Effectiveness of other Interventions 31:35 Interface treatment 34:40 When to refer for surgery 36:48 Nerve repair 41:25 Ultra High Field MRI Explained 44:48 Three Take Aways 47:03 Annina's Closing Thoughts 48:13 Contact Info 49:39 Outro   Bonus Material Download the referenced transcript including PubMed Links and a high-resolution infographic on this episode as part of your Physiotutors membership on the Physiotutors App. Download the Free App now   Follow our Podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts

In this conversation, Mark Kargela interviews Michael Shacklock about his journey and influences in the field of neurodynamics. They discuss the transition from the traditional view of neural tension testing to neurodynamics, the influence of pain science on clinical practice, and the importance of integrating the biological examination with psychosocial factors. Michael also shares his focus on lumbar radiculopathy in his PhD research, specifically looking at unloading the nerve root for pain relief. In this conversation, Michael Shacklock discusses the use of neurodynamic techniques in the treatment of radiculopathy. He explains that movement-related pain should respond quickly to movement, and shares his favorite patient profile for this type of treatment. Shacklock emphasizes the importance of ruling out contralateral tests if they provoke pain, as this indicates reduced cord movement. He also discusses the role of radiology in diagnosing radiculopathy and the challenges of interpreting radiology reports. Shacklock addresses the misconceptions around neurodynamic tests and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates neurodynamics with musculoskeletal function. He concludes by discussing the application of neurodynamic techniques in acute radiculopathy and the importance of adapting treatment to the individual patient's needs.If you are looking to go deeper on topics, get training, and become a better pain care clinician, then check out our community at https://modernpaincare.com**TIMESTAMPS**00:00:00 Start00:02:04 Interview Begin00:07:15 The movement to neurodynamics versus neural tension00:10:37 How has pain science influenced MIchael's approach00:14:40 There is a time to specifically treat the tissues00:18:51 Michael's PhD focus00:23:32 Crossed straight leg raising as treatment00:26:50 Differneces between mechanical compresison and inflammtory nerve root issues00:32:05 Difficulties with radiolgy00:34:16 Where physios are missing the mark in application00:38:51 Use of neurodynamics in irritable patients00:42:04 Michael's view on other movement approaches00:45:09 Michael's courses and where to find him nextThe doors are open to Modern Pain Pro!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.13.548951v1?rss=1 Authors: Asai, T., Kashihara, S., Chiyohara, S., Hiromitsu, K., Imamizu, H. Abstract: The neural manifold in state space represents the mass neural dynamics of a biological system. A challenging modern approach treats the brain as a whole in terms of the interaction between the agent and the world. Therefore, we need to develop a method for this global neural workspace. The current study aimed to visualize spontaneous neural trajectories regardless of their measuring modalities (electroencephalography [EEG], functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI], and magnetoencephalography [MEG]). First, we examined the possible visualization of EEG manifolds. These results suggest that a spherical surface can be clearly observed within the spatial similarity space. Once valid (e.g., differentiable) and useful (e.g., low-dimensional) manifolds are obtained, the nature of the sphere, such as shape and size, becomes a possible target of interest. Because these should be practically useful, we suggest advantages of the EEG manifold (essentially continuous) or the state transition matrix (coarse-grained discrete). Finally, because our basic procedure is modality-independent, MEG and fMRI manifolds were also compared. These results strongly suggest the need to update our understanding of neural mass representations to include robust "global" dynamics. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Ever wonder why you feel your pinky tingling when you hit your funny bone? Feeling radiating pins and needles? We’ve all felt pins and needles in our feet and hands, but neurotension is a little different. Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom break down the knits and grits of different types of pain and how they may associate with neural tension, through the concept of neurodynamics. They describe possible reasons for your bouts of neural tension and how movement can prevent the onset of neural tension. By diving into the specifics of neurodynamics, both in the upper and lower extremities, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom direct attention towards neural gliding as a means of testing for neural tension and optimizing nerve functionality. Listen up as you gain insight into getting your nerves functional and not so static. What You Will Learn in this PT Pearl: 0:40 – What are nerves? 2:39 – Why does neural tension occur? 3:33 – Symptoms of Neural Tension. 6:02 – The concept of Neurodynamics. 8:40 – Movement to avoid neural sensation. 12:09 – Testing neural glides. 14:45 – The nerves of the arm. 15:18 – Perpetuating different nerve tensions. 18:25 – Specifics of Neurodynamics. 22:42 - Getting the nerves functional and not so static. 23:19 - Exploring Neurodynamics in the lower extremities.

J., Feilding, A., Kaelen, M., Kringelbach, M. L., Barrett, A. B., Seth, A. K., Muthukumaraswamy, S., Bor, D., Carhart-Harris, R. L. Abstract: Recent findings have shown that psychedelics reliably enhance brain entropy (understood as neural signal diversity), and this effect has been associated with both acute and long-term psychological outcomes such as personality changes. These findings are particularly intriguing given that a decrease of brain entropy is a robust indicator of loss of consciousness (e.g. from wakefulness to sleep). However, little is known about how context impacts the entropy-enhancing effect of psychedelics, which carries important implications for how it can be exploited in, for example, psychedelic psychotherapy. This article investigates how brain entropy is modulated by stimulus manipulation during a psychedelic experience, by studying participants under the effects of LSD or placebo, either with gross state changes (eyes closed vs. open) or different stimulus (no stimulus vs. music vs. video). Results show that while brain entropy increases with LSD in all the experimental conditions, it exhibits largest changes when subjects have their eyes closed. Furthermore, brain entropy changes are consistently associated with subjective ratings of the psychedelic experience, but this relationship is disrupted when participants are viewing video -- potentially due to a "competition" between external stimuli and endogenous LSD-induced imagery. Taken together, our findings provide strong quantitative evidence for the role of context in modulating neural dynamics during a psychedelic experience, underlining the importance of performing psychedelic psychotherapy in a suitable environment. Additionally, our findings put into question simplistic interpretations of brain entropy as a direct neural correlate of conscious level. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Today is all about nerves in functional movement. What happens when they don't move the way they were made to, what it means, and what we can do about it.

Have you heard of neurodynamics before? Most of us have not. But this exciting field of specialized medicine can be a life-changer for people dealing with nerve pain related conditions. Join us on the show to discuss everything you need to know about nerve pain, such as: How do you know you're dealing with a nerve issue? What are the most common nerve injuries? How does neurodynamics work? What does the treatment look like? And more...

SHOW NOTES I attended Michael Shacklock’s Upper and Lower Quarter Neurodynamics course in Spring of 2018 and it was one of those seminars that completely changed the way I looked at my patients on Monday morning. Michael presented for four days on some awesome ways we can test to see if a patient has a neuro component to their symptoms. Surprisingly many conditions that have a partial neuro aspect don’t require radiation or pins/ needles! Here’s a few types of cases I’ve found neuro aspects within (at least a percentage): Subacromial Impingement Cases Ankle injury diagnosed in the training room as a deltoid ligament grade 1 Medial Epicondylitis These types of cases would have fallen through the cracks in my eval and I would have been treated them as pure musculoskeletal conditions, but the truth is when I implemented some corrected to the neuro findings, the person improved past that plateau we sometimes find in patient care. I feel very fortunate to have Michael on to share some wisdom with the rest of the sports medicine listeners. Quotes: Spinal cord movement is a looking glass into lumbar nerve root behavior There’s a 66% reduction in spinal cord movement with disc protrusions Flexion will open the foramen and reduce pressure on the nerve Across joints the nerve is more extensible, unrelated to amount of connective tissue Bio: Michael Shacklock: Michael received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980.  He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, paediatrics, orthopaedics, geriatrics, intensive care and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin.  In 1985 he moved to Adelaide, Australia, working at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy in 1989 and converted this to a Masters degree at the University of South Australia in 1993. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (Australian Physiotherapy Association) for his monograph and international best-seller text book, Clinical Neurodynamics, Elsevier, Oxford, 2005.  In addition to his neurodynamics book, he has published two other books, Moving in on Pain (Elsevier) and Biomechanics of the Nervous System: Breig Revisited.  He also authored, co-authored and mentored numerous research studies, editorials, commentaries and clinical papers in international peer reviewed journals articles which have garnered many international awards, including Visiting Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, Barcelo University, Buenos Aires (see academic activities on ResearchGate).  He was a member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Musculoskeletal Theory and Practice (formerly Manual Therapy), United Kingdom and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, USA.  Michael presents keynote addresses and invited conference lectures, trains staff at elite sports medicine facilities and sports clubs, universities, hospitals and private seminars around the world. His special interests are neurodynamics, measurement of mechanical function of the nervous system, pain and the nervous system and musculoskeletal function.  His most valued interest is how to synthesise science and clinical practice using evidence and reasoning. Michael is an active clinician, has 35 years of experience in treating patients and is recognised as an international leader in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a neural aspect.

"What I’ve learned is that when a muscle becomes wasted, its not just because of a lack of impulses from the nerve into the muscle, its not just a lack of activity, it’s being told by a trophic factor produced by the nerve to get wasted" We speak with physiotherapist Michael Shacklock (DipPhysio, MAppSC, FACP, NDS Instructor and founding director) about neurodynamics, nerve dysfunction, the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve disorders, and patient education. Check out the summary video we did with Michael on Why Do Nerves Become Hypersensitive? To find out more about Michael, visit his website, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

In this episode, Sandy and Cory discuss the popular treatment method of neurodynamics. While discussing a recent RCT which used the method in a group of patients with a fibromyalgia diagnosis the hosts also go in to some depth of how they use neurodynamics in the clinic. Also, Sandy's secret mission to convince Cory that he's a pelvic health therapist in denial continues.
