And so, in part, the scope of cranial cranial 77 work is embedded in that of osteopathic medicine. Yet many in the osteopathic profession in general Case examples 78 have been slow to accept and implement this Conclusion 90 point of view. Despite osteopathy’s ambivalence, a variety of manual practitioners have been References 90 attracted to and have developed aspects of cranial manipulation. Historically, then, many practitioners have practiced cranial technique outside their culture’s definition of ‘medicine’. In a parallel development, those practitioners working in manual medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, sports medicine and American osteopathic medicine have to varying degrees integrated manual philosophy and techniques into orthopedic and disease model medical problem solving. This chapter deals with the some- times controversial topic of osteopathic medical integration and its relevance in cranial work both in America and Europe. It also addresses the issue of how this integration affects the definition of treatment goals and the choice of techniques.

Pediatrics involves recognition of normal and abnormal mental and physical development as well as the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic problems. As one of the core clerkships during the third year of medical school, pediatrics shares with family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery the common responsibility to teach the knowledge, skills and attitudes basic to the development of a competent general physician. Most students will spend most of their time in the outpatient setting while others might take care of patients on the inpatient setting as well.

  • Julie Antonova Focused Clinical Multidisciplinary ISP Summary April 1, 2015 Introduction to Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
    Julie Antonova Focused Clinical Multidisciplinary ISP Summary April 1, 2015 Introduction to Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Background/Goals: My interest in completing this project and learning about osteopathy stems from my experiences observing osteopathic physicians during a Family Medicine rotation in my third year of medical school. Until that point, I was not aware of the existence of osteopathy – a system of medical practice that emphasizes treating an illness in the context of the whole body, and using manipulation techniques to facilitate healing. Having been practicing Reiki, a type of bodywork modality with a similar holistic perspective on health and the human body, I was naturally drawn to learning more about osteopathy. My goals for this project included the following: a) To develop an understanding of the history, philosophy and principles of osteopathic medicine b) To develop an understanding of how to perform an Osteopathic physical examination and make a diagnosis of somatic dysfunction (in addition, to have an overview of the different types of somatic dysfunctions) c) To recognize the indications for several commonly used osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) techniques – including soft tissue, myofascial release, muscle energy, counterstrain, cranial, articulatory, high‐velocity‐low‐amplitude, and lymphatic techniques d) To develop an understanding of how OMT can be incorporated into the management of conditions commonly treated by primary care physicians e) To develop an understanding of how osteopathic manipulative treatments can be used in the management of neurological disorders f) To gain the basic understanding of how to perform OMT techniques described above through direct practice in the clinical setting Clinical experiences: During the two months of my ISP, I spent six weeks in a Family Medicine clinic with Dr.
