IBS is a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects a patient for their entire life. Effective treatments for IBS are scarce, leading to an increased interest in alternative treatments such as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). OMT uses hands-on treatment to reduce pain through various methods. By focusing on visceral techniques, OMT can restore autonomic homeostasis and increase lymphatic flow. This literature review aims to investigate the efficacy of visceral OMT in reducing the severity of IBS symptoms.

This article explores the effectiveness of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) in treating infantile colic. Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, the study evaluated infants diagnosed with colic, comparing a group that received CST sessions with a control group that received no treatment. The results showed that infants treated with CST experienced a significant reduction in crying hours, improved sleep, and lessened severity of colic symptoms compared to the control group. This study demonstrates the potential of CST as an effective, non-invasive treatment for infant colic, providing relief for both babies and their families.

Massage Therapy for Allergy Relief and Improving the Immune System
Jill Mabry LMT, CST-DCurriculums:
Massage Therapy for allergy relief (before and during symptoms) including that Massage Therapy:
• Relaxes the body, reducing stress that can exacerbate the symptoms of allergies
• Relieves neck and shoulder tension, which opens sinuses
• Moves lymph, which reduces irritation and inflammation
• Increases circulation
• Promotes a stronger and healthier immune system
There is such a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms a patient can exhibit from an array of antigens. Learning how the body is a unit, and discovering structure/function, you can facilitate self-correction for a wide variety of conditions.
The Expanding Role of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Health and Disease
John E. Upledger, DO, OMMCurriculums:
I can’t resist presenting this new information that came forth in one of The
Upledger Institute’s recent “The Brain
Speaks” seminars. A practitioner was dialoguing with the “cerebellum” of a fellow
classmate when the cerebellum reported it
had many crystals within it that had to be
kept clean by CSF washing. When these
crystals get dirty, cerebellar function deteriorates in terms of motor, balance, memory,
hearing association, and many other areas
that generally go with old age.

How Could Emotions Affect Tissues in the Body?
Vivien Henderson LMT,CST-DCurriculums:
Effects of a traumatic event can penetrate into tissues of energy into a victims body! Sometimes our bodies hold back on a traumatic event that happens in our lives which sometimes gets bottled up inside and causes us different issues like pain. It can be released through CranioSacral Therapy called SomatoEmotional Release.
