physician is somatic dysfunction.
– The basis of osteopathy is the fundamental sciences.
– Osteopathy is now integrated into official medicine
– Osteopathy is an evolutionary direction of medicine
– Osteopathy is not divided into parts.
– Health, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of diseases and infirmity.
– “… An osteopath is looking for health…, every person can find a disease…”
– The official health care system has now focused on finding and effective prevention of diseases.
– The somatic function is expressed by the integrity and neutral calmness.
– Somatic dysfunction as an anatomic morphological substrate is a health manifestation, mechanisms of self-correction and self-restoration; mechanisms of adaptation that are implemented to maintain homeostasis at the stage before the onset of the disease, at the stage of pre-illness.
– Function (functio – execution, fulfillment) is a phenomenon that depends on another phenomenon and changes as this other phenomenon changes.
– In the case of the human body, the function is an arbitrary or involuntary reaction of the organism in response to the influence of the external environment.
– The functional impairment is a violation of the mechanism of adaptation in the process of vital activity of the organism in the changing external environment.
– A functional disturbance, or a violation of adaptation, can be local, regional, but it is always global.
– The purpose of the function is to adapt effectively
– Somatic dysfunction is primarily a global violation of the adaption of the entire body, the entire soma, a violation of the integrity of the body.
– In working with children under 3—5 years of age, we use a biomechanical method exclusively for diagnostic purposes.
– Functional impairment, or somatic dysfunction, is manifested at the biomechanical level by a change in the state of biomechanical unity; at the functional level – a violation of the synchronous implementation of functions relative to each other and relative to global body functions; at the biodynamic level – a violation of the integrity of the organism and its habitat (mother Nature), of which it is a part.
– Somatic dysfunction is a functional impairment manifested by biomechanical, rhythmogenic and neurodynamic components.
– Three sources of osteopathy:
– unconditional love,
– spirituality,
– holistic health.
– In osteopathy it is customary to distinguish three methods:
– biomechanical,
– functional,
– biodynamic.
– Functions of the human body are manifested by different rhythmic mobility.
– In the process of perceptive diagnostics, the global mobility of the human body is felt as a holistic vibration of a certain force, frequency and amplitude. It can be felt under the hands.
– Violation of synchronicity of interaction between parts of the body leads to a functional and biomechanical violation.
– Sanogenetic reactions of the body, aimed at maintaining homeostasis, go beyond the limits of physiological comfort, forming clinical manifestations of somatic dysfunctions.
– Disease is a variant of adaptation of the organism to changing environmental conditions that has gone beyond the limits of the functional norm.
– Disease is a manifestation of health, the struggle of the organism for its functional integrity, for survival.
– Osteopathic lesion is a complex of functional reactions of the
body as a response to the direct action of exogenous factors.
– The lesion field is a complex of reactions of the organism in the process of its adaptation to the damaging exogenous factor. The lesion field has its own boundaries, the centre (the fulcrum).
– Somatic dysfunction is a manifestation of health in the form of
physiological organism’s reactions in response to osteopathic lesion.
– The main role of the doctor -osteopath is manifested in the prevention of violation of functional unity, the vital integrity of the human body, dysfunctional changes in the immune and autonomic nervous systems.
– The subject of studying osteopathy is human health and its adaptation to environmental changes as well as the conditions for the formation of health, its preservation and development.
