Purpose

A principle of osteopathic medicine is that hands-on diagnosis and treatment can help patients stay healthy and recover from illness and injury more quickly. With osteopathic manual medicine (OMM), physicians work to restore the body’s structural integrity, which allows the body to function more efficiently, thus allowing the body to resist disease and work more efficiently. OMM is a hands-on, noninvasive set of skills used in the evaluation and treatment of the neuro-muscular-skeletal system. While drugs, surgery and other forms of treatment are important components of patient care, manually diagnosing and treating the patient adds a highly effective, noninvasive advantage. OMM provides an important added dimension to standard medical care.

This case-based presentation demonstrates the connection between somatic dysfunction and symptom presentation in an individual with recurrent subdural hemorrhaging. Additionally, you will learn about the incredible utility of OMM in healing the body and providing patient-centered care. 

Target Audience

Health professionals.

OBJECTIVES

  • Review relevant anatomy of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
  • Identify anatomy of venous and lymphatic drainage from the head and neck.
  • Draw connections between clinical symptoms, somatic dysfunctions, and relevant anatomy.
  • Identify how treatment of somatic dysfunctions affected the function of the patient and led to clinical improvement of symptoms.
