• Syndesmophyte
  • Inflammation @ Enthesis

    • Cannot revert back
  • Ossification Bony Bridge between 2 Adjacent Vertebra
    • NO ROM (range of motion)
    • Adjustment = Fracture = Death
  • Doesn't Pertain to Bony Spurs
• Chest Expansion
  • Rib joint Ossification (limits expansion)

  • Chiropractic
    • 2ndry treatment after inflammation is treated
    • Improves motion
• Complications

      • Tertiary Syphilis
  • Sign (No DIASTOLIC PRESSURE)
  • Morbidity = 0.1-0.5%

	Kathleen Sundmark almost 4 years ago	Great info. Lots of work. Thank you for these maps. They represent a lot of information and a great deal of work.

	Edward Shekhter almost 4 years ago	Re: Great info. Lots of work. Thank you. Just got NovaMind about 3 weeks ago. This is my first go at it. There is so much information, but I am not sure if the way I presented/did this is the best way. Also I am looking for more insight and better way to do these mind maps, from experienced people.
