SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
A 24-year-old male presents with acute neck pain after sleeping in a strange position. He has limited range of
motion to the right and a cystoid block at C2. What is the most appropriate OMM technique to address this?
A. Cervical roll
B. SAT (Supplemental Axial Treatment)
C. Gonsted technique
D. Thoracic pump
🟢 Correct answer: A
🔴 RATIONALE: Cervical roll is the most appropriate initial technique for acute cervical strain with limited
ROM. It provides gentle mobilization without aggressive manipulation, making it ideal for acute presentations.
SAT is more specific for posterior atlas, Gonsted is typically for lumbar/thoracic, and thoracic pump addresses
respiratory/circulatory issues.
