Clinical Consideration

According to Jacobs:

Nociceptors signal high threshold stimuli – propagated from chemical,

thermal or mechanical messages. If a nerve can’t access oxygen and

glucose or if the nerve is ‘backed-up’ with deoxygenated blood that

can’t escape (i.e. hypoxia and ischemia, due to tensional compression

and diminished lymphatic drainage) then that nerve will complain via

its mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors and nociceptors.

Therefore, if MT can productively affect tensional compression and

lymphatic flow with resultant impact on hypoxia and ischemia, the chain of

events will culminate in less cranky nerves.
