Clinical syndromes have their primary cause, typical anamnesis, typical clinical signs and typical connections to other body parts. Our approach is based on 1) diagnosis of joint and muscles function in affected site, 2) differential diagnosis of primary cause of a syndrome, 3) targeted treatment of primary cause. Topics: - Pelvis syndromes (fixed pelvic nutation, coccygeal syndrome, pelvic dysfunction,?) - Sacroiliac joints (functional and structural disturbances, influence of skeletal muscles on the joint) - Shoulder syndromes (scapular muscle imbalances, impingement syndrome, snowboard shoulder, projections of innervation to the shoulder) - Knee pain, local and distant causation - Spine syndromes (upper cervical spine and its relations, dysfunction of ribs, structural disturbances enlarging total ranges of vertebral movements) - Viscerovertebral projections by means of direct contact and autonomic nerve reflexes) - Somatic and visceral pain, its mechanism, its value for making diagnosis - Infectious inflammation and its influence on function of motion apparatus
