Osteopathic Principals
The Updated Four Key Principles of Osteopathic Philosophy: Foundations, 3rd edition
1) The body is a unit, the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit. 2) The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance. 3) Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. 4) Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of basic principles of body unity, selfregulation, and the inter-relationship of structure and function. "Osteopathic medicine recognizes that many factors impair this capacity and the natural tendency toward recovery, and that among the most important of these factors are the local disturbances or lesions of the musculoskeletal system."
- Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery, special committee on OPP , 1953
Localization of pain
Osteopathic principal #1
The interconnectedness of structure and function
"I have neck pain!"
Is the origin of the pain truly cervical? Is it during the ROM or end motions?
Definitions
Somatic Dysfunction:
Impaired or altered function of somatic framework including muscular, arthrodial, fascial problems and related neurovascular lymphatic elements.
Posture:
The mechanical deformation from a prolonged ligamentous stretch
No u/l or segmental pain. No sight or spread pain. Does not centralize May lead to derangement or dysfunction Ex: Pain goes away after static ligamentous stretch Correct posture, stretches, PT/OT
Derangement vs. Dysfunction
Derangement: Disturbance of the normal resting place.
Segmental and Unilateral distribution of pain
Follows dermatome pattern Change in site and spread of
pain with provocation Reversing provocation causes
pain to centralize. Pain during the motion NOT at
END range. Ex: Spinal stenosis anterior
derangement. Ex: Small Bulgeannular tear
disc herniation. Pain w/ extension.
? Dysfunction: Mechanical deformation of structurally impaired tissues.
? Facets, arthritic joints, trigger
points, muscle spasm. ? Restricted ROM ? Pain at END of motion. ? Does not radiate ? Does not centralize ? No u/l and segmental pain
