A case study for multiple pain pathologies in a client using the Chapman Reflex activation

We had a dramatic experience with the Chapman reflexes (named after founder Frank Chapman DO) but first a bit of backstory.

A therapist had a client who fell off a garden wall almost 5 years ago, fell 1½ meters to the ground, and landed heavily on her right foot. The tibia and fibula were broken, the pelvis was fractured from the ischium to the ilium and also the clavicle in 3 places, all were very extensive injuries. The client endured a long hospital stay with traction as initial treatment. Then, there was a subsequent follow-up with surgery on the ankle to remove some bone fragments and a general surgical cleaning with the intention of lengthening the Achilles tendon. Tendon restructuring was scheduled, but this was impossible to achieve at the time of surgery.

In late 2014, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. The predisposing chances were that he had 37 X-rays taken after the fall, which we can link to harmful results. The clavicle fracture caused a huge bruise on her right breast, and that could have been a factor.

She had previously had a root canal and had another tooth that was bad. The dentist wanted to perform another root canal procedure, but there was some evidence that root canal procedures may be linked to breast cancer. In light of that anecdotal evidence, he decided to have the dentist extract the tooth in question. The procedure was possibly incompetent as the family stated that the dentist had “damaged the adjacent tooth with the root canal.” The client had acknowledged that there is a possible link between root canals and breast cancer. The results of a research article stated that “in every case of breast cancer that the doctor had seen, the patient had had a root canal or gum disease and the cancer was always on the same side as the duct of the breast. root”. This was confirmed with this woman regarding which side the root canal was on, that is, the right jaw and the nodes present in the right breast tissue.

They removed her right breast and removed approximately 37 lymph nodes, 35 of which had breast cancer. They found that the cancer had spread to his left hip, originally suspected to be in the neck of the femur, although it was assessed to be in the acetabulum, allowing for a left hip replacement.

He had to receive 10 fractions of radiation to the femur / hip area and is currently receiving chemotherapy probably for a period of 12 weekly sessions.

Naturally, all of this has been very stressful, and had clouded the thinking of his initial clinical therapist who had been working on the right chest, back, right leg and was not focusing treatment on the client’s left side of the body.

The orthopedic surgeon had checked her very recently and this client commented that her left leg was weak. The doctor tested it and it turned out to be noticeably weak. The doctor proposed that it was due to radiation and chemotherapy, but would improve in a few months. However, the use of Chapman’s reflexes (also known as neurolymphatic points) did not occur to the therapist, until one afternoon he brought it up on the table to focus on the right leg. It was at this stage that the physician adopted the neurolymphatic point test. There was no expectation that it would work in light of its history. She strongly objected to the evaluation due to the alteration of the treatment protocol, the strength of the test, and the sensitivity of the weak spots. But the effect was spectacular: the left quadriceps was as strong as the right.

The practitioner did not think that she would maintain this strength, but during the treatment time of approximately ½ hour she was able to walk much better and walked much more easily in the late afternoon. The intention is to continue working using the stimulation of the reflex points to alter the activation of the neural reflex in the lower extremities and core. The client was very happy and satisfied both physically and emotionally with her results, she has daily tasks to stimulate the Chapman reflex points to help in the neuronal efficiency of the muscles of the affected limb.
