New Osteopathic Research



Osteopathic treatment reduces low back pain by more than 30% in just one visit.

In an article published by the Alive Magazine; Dec 2013 issue, it was reported that 30% reduction in pain was experienced by participants in a study that used osteopathic manual treatment (OMT) to treat low back pain, compared with sham OMT and ultrasound.

National University of Medical Sciences (www.numss.com) offers nine degrees in osteopathy.

How Canadians use their Extended Health Benefit?


Majority of Canadians do not use health benefits provided to them by employers.  The highest rate of usage is for the employees in the age group of 55 to 59 year old demographic. But even in this group the rate of usage is about 50%.
In the above mentioned group over 80% used their dental benefits (mostly for checkups) followed by 50% for the vision care. The usage of paramedical services in this age group is as follow: massage therapy (27%), physiotherapy (15%), & chiropractic (18%). Due to small number of osteopaths, pedorthists and athletic therapists in Canada, statistics were not available for these professions.
We at the National University of Medical Sciences urge students to choose osteopathy as their career of choice. There is a severe shortage of osteopaths in Canada (the province of Ontario needs at least 2,500 more osteopaths). By becoming an osteopath you can offer this amazing health profession to the Canadians.
NUMSS offers nine degrees in osteopathy, including a doctor of osteopathy (DO) program that is accredited by the Canadian Manual Osteopathy Examining Board & the College of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners of Ontario amongst many other organizations. We also offer 31 online medical degrees in pedorthics, athletic therapy and other fields.

Student Testimonial from Norway


Dear Dr Pourgol:

 I’m here home in Oslo, Norway watching your videos and let me tell you how happy I am.

I have always been a very practical person since I was a young boy, I even played professional football and now I only do weight training but always I have had a lot of energy.

This has been great for my sports and for the military. But when it was time for study it has been hard for me sit down for several hours to read and focus on theory. I even was delayed in my education because of that.

That’s why I am sooooo glad for these video lectures because of the things I will learn for my osteopathy skills and for my managing part. This is GOLD for a practical person like me.

Just watching one video from the Ethics and management I learned a lot and got some good ideas for my clinic.

Thank you so much. I hope you can come and visit my clinic in Oslo and that I get the honor of getting to know you in person soon.

Best regards,

Finn-Tore C. Camacho Bjørnsand, BSc (physio)

Why Osteopathy is so Effective in Managing Lumbar Disorders of Mechanical Origin?

How does osteopathy help patients with low back pain of mechanical origin?

There are a few known mechanism affecting individuals who receive osteopathic treatment for low back pain.

First mechanism: Osteopathic spinal manipulation increases joint mobility by producing a barrage of impulses in muscle spindle afferents and smaller-diameter afferents ultimately silencing facilitated γ (gamma) motoneurons as proposed by Korr. This theory is supported by several recent studies by the Pickar lab and by findings that low back pain patients have altered proprioceptive input from muscle spindles. Recent work has also shown that that spinal manipulation modifies the discharge of Group I and II afferents. This has been accomplished by recording single-unit activity in muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organ afferents in an animal model during manipulation.

A second mechanism is that osteopathic spinal manipulation, by mechanically opening the intravertebral foramina (IVF), decreases pressure on the dorsal roots. Substantial evidence shows that the dorsal nerve roots and dorsal root ganglia are susceptible to the effects of mechanical compression. Compressive loads as low as 10 mg applied to dorsal roots increase the discharge of Group I, II, III and IV afferents. This compression can also alter non--impulse-based mechanisms (eg, axoplasmic transport) and cause edema and hemorrhage in the dorsal root. Spinal manipulation mechanically decreases the pressure in the IVF by gapping the facet joints and opening the IVF. For instance, the synovial space of the lumbar facet joints increases by about 0.7 mm in individuals receiving manipulation. This doesn't seem like much, but as with any therapy there is usually a course of care involved. Even in moderate stenosis patients treated by osteopaths typically see significant pain reduction following a period of 1-2 weeks of treatment.

A third mechanism is based on findings that persistent alterations in normal sensory input resulting from an injury can increases the excitability of neuronal circuits in the spinal cord. Osteopathic spinal manipulation works by applying non-noxious mechanical inputs to these circuits. This involves mechanisms similar to the pain-gate theory proposed by Melzack and Wall wherein activation of A-α and A-β fibers can reduce chronic pain and increase pain threshold levels. This is supported by studies where spinal manipulation of the lumbar region decreases central pain processing as measured via pin-prick tests. Additional studies have shown a reduction in central pain sensitivity after spinal manipulation using graded pressure and noxious cutaneous electrical stimulation.

A fourth mechanism involves β-endorphin mechanisms. Studies have shown increases in beta-endorphin levels after osteopathic spinal manipulation but not after control interventions.

Fifth mechanism: Substantial evidence also shows that osteopathic spinal manipulation activates paraspinal muscle reflexes and alters motoneuron excitability. These effects are still being studied and appear to differ depending on whether performed on patients in pain or pain-free subjects.

A sixth mechanism involves inhibition of somatosomatic reflexes by alterations in muscle spindle input produced by osteopathic spinal manipulation. It is thought that osteopathic spinal manipulation may normalize spindle biomechanics and improve muscle spindle discharge.

Lastly, in humans, osteopathic manual treatment can decrease heart rate and blood pressure while increasing vagal afferent activity as measured by heart-rate variability. Manual therapies in rats have been shown to produce an inhibitory effect on the cardiovascular excitatory response and reduce both blood pressure and heart rate. Manual therapies such as osteopathic soft tissue therapy have been shown to impact behavioral manifestations associated with chronic activation of the HPA axis such as anxiety and depression, while decreasing plasma, urinary, and salivary cortisol and urinary corticotropin releasing factor-like immunoreactivity (CRF-LI). Manual stimulation in rats has been shown to significantly increase glucocorticoid receptor gene expression which enhanced negative feedback inhibition of HPA activity and reduced post-stress secretion of ACTH and glucocorticoid.

National University of Medical Sciences ( www.numss.com ) offers 30 medical degrees including nine degree programs in osteopathy (DO, PhD, MSc, MA, BSc). We teach in 65 cities in 35 countries.

چگونه استئوپتی به بیماران مبتلا به کمر درد کمک می‌کند؟

چگونه استئوپتی به بیماران مبتلا به کمر درد کمک می‌کند؟


مکانیسم: Osteopathic دستکاری ستون فقرات، تحرک مفاصل را افزایش می دهد انگیزه های در دوک عضلانی آوران توده آوران با قطر کوچکتر و در نهایت تسهیل خاموش کردن γ (گاما) به عنوان با نرونهای حرکتی Korr پیشنهاد. این نظریه توسط مطالعات متعدد اخیر یافته است که بیماران مبتلا به کمر درد توسط Pickar آزمایشگاه و تغییر ورودی های حس عمقی از دوک عضلانی پشتیبانی می کند. کار های اخیر نیز نشان داده است که دستکاری ستون فقرات است که به تغییر ترشحات از گروه I و II آوران. این شده است با ثبت تک واحدی فعالیت دوک عضلانی و گلژی آوران اندام های تاندون در دستکاری از مدل حیوانی انجام شده است.

مکانیسم دوم این است که دستکاری ستون فقرات osteopathic، مکانیکی باز کردن فورامن داخل (IVF)، باعث کاهش فشار بر روی ریشه های پشتی است. شواهد قابل توجهی نشان می دهد که گانگلیون ریشه پشتی و ریشه های عصبی پشتی هستند مستعد ابتلا به اثرات مکانیکی فشرده سازی می باشد. بارهای فشاری به عنوان کم به عنوان 10 میلی گرم اعمال شده به ریشه های شعاع افزایش ترشح از گروه I، II، III و IV آوران. این فشرده سازی نیز می تواند مکانیسم های غیر مبتنی بر ضربه (به عنوان مثال، حمل و نقل axoplasmic) و شعاع ریشه علت ادم و خونریزی را تغییر دهد. دستکاری ستون فقرات مکانیکی باعث کاهش فشار در مفاصل و باز کردن IVF IVF gapping سطح کوچک جواهر و سنگهای قیمتی. به عنوان مثال، در فضای سینوویال مفاصل کمری در حدود 0.7 میلی متر در سطح کوچک جواهر و سنگهای قیمتی دریافت دستکاری را افزایش می دهد. سیما می کند تا این حد را دوست ندارد، اما همانطور که با هر نوع درمان معمولا یک دوره مراقبت های درگیر وجود دارد. حتی تنگی متوسط در بیماران درمان شده با osteopaths به طور معمول کاهش درد قابل توجه پس از یک دوره 1-2 هفته پس از درمان است.

مکانیسم سوم بر اساس یافته که تغییرات مداوم در ورودی حسی عادی، تحریک پذیری مرگ نورونی ناشی از آسیب در مدارهای نخاع را افزایش می دهد. Osteopathic دستکاری ستون فقرات با استفاده از ورودی مکانیکی غیر مضر به این مدار کار می کند. این شامل مکانیزم های مشابهی به نظریه دروازه درد ارائه شده توسط فعال Melzack و وال که در آن α و A-β فیبر می تواند درد مزمن و افزایش سطح آستانه درد را کاهش می دهد. این است که با مطالعات انجام شده در منطقه کمر که در آن دستکاری ستون فقرات پردازش درد مرکزی را کاهش می دهد، به عنوان از طریق پین سیخونک بحرکت واداشتن آزمون اندازه گیری پشتیبانی می کند. مطالعات اضافی، کاهش حساسیت به درد بعد از فشار پوستی مرکزی و مضر تحریک الکتریکی درجه بندی با استفاده از دستکاری ستون فقرات نشان داده شده است.

ساز و چهارم شامل β-اندروفین مکانیسم. مطالعات نشان داده اند که افزایش در سطوح بتا اندروفین، اما بعد از مداخله در کنترل بعد از دستکاری ستون فقرات.

مکانیسم پنجم: شواهد قابل توجهی نیز نشان می دهد که دستکاری ستون فقرات فعال شدن رفلکس های عضلات اطراف ستون مهرهها و تغییر motoneuron تحریک پذیری است. این اثرات هنوز در حال مطالعه است و به نظر می رسد متفاوت در مورد اینکه آیا درد یا بدون درد افراد بر روی بیماران انجام شده است.

مکانیسم ششم شامل تغییرات در مهار عضلات اسپیندل ورودی توسط رفلکس somatosomatic تولید شده توسط دستکاری ستون فقرات osteopathic. تصور بر این است که دستکاری ستون فقرات ممکن است دوک دوک عضلانی ترشحات نرمال و بیومکانیک بهبود است.

در نهایت، در انسان، درمان کتابچه راهنمای osteopathic می تواند فشار خون و ضربان قلب در حالی که افزایش فعالیت درسایت آوران، به عنوان توسط ضربان قلب تنوع اندازه گیری را فراموش کرده ام کاهش می یابد. درمان های دستی شده اند در موش نشان داده شده است برای تولید یک اثر مهاری بر روی پاسخ قلبی عروقی تحریکی و هر دو فشار خون و ضربان قلب را کاهش می دهد. درمان بافت نرم مانند درمان کتابچه راهنمای osteopathic نشان داده شده است تحت تاثیر جلوه های رفتاری در ارتباط با فعال شدن مزمن از محور HPA مانند اضطراب و افسردگی، در حالی که کاهش پلاسما، ادرار، و کورتیزول بزاقی و آزادکننده کورتیکوتروپین عامل مثل رنگپذیری ادراری (CRF-LI ). موشها نشان داده شده است که به میزان قابل توجهی افزایش مانوئل تحریک بیان ژن گیرنده گلوکوکورتیکوئید که افزایش مهار بازخورد منفی از فعالیت HPA و استرس را کاهش
می دهد ACTH و ترشح گلوکوکورتیکوئید
