Does the addition of visceral manipulation improves outcomes for patients with low back pain? Rational and study protocol
John Panagopoulos, Mark Hancock, Paulo FerreiraCurriculums:
Active participants were treated for the same minimum and maximum number of sessions per week, one placebo and one with Visceral Manipulation.
Patients that were treated will be evaluated for a secondary analysis to investigate who responds to the Visceral Manipulation.
The immediate effects of sigmoid colon manipulation on pressure pain thresholds in the lumbar spine
Terence P McSweeny, Oliver P Thomson, Ross JohnstonCurriculums:
Visceral Manipulation is being used by the UK osteopaths. Pressure pain thresholds were measured to investigate 15 asymptomatic subjects. This study provides new experimental evidence that the visceral manual therapy can produces immediate Hypo in somatic structures to the organ being mobilized in asymptomatic subjects
Specialized connective tissue: bone, the structural framework of the upper extremity
Alyssa M. Weatherholt, Robyn K. Fuchs, and Stuart J. WardenCurriculums:
This article provides an overview of the structure and function of bone tissue from a macroscopic to microscopic level and discusses the physiological processes contributing to upper extremity bone health.

The Effects of Cranial Manual Therapy and Myofascial Release Technique on Somatic Tinnitus in Individuals without Otic Pathology
Amir Massoud Arab PT, PhD, Mohammad R. Nourbakhsh PT, PhD, OCSCurriculums:
Tinnitus is defined as hearing a sound in the absence of any external auditory stimulus. Somatic or craniocervical tinnitus, which is present in patients without any detectable ear/nerve disorders, is associated with somatic disorders such as myofascial pain syndrome, or cervical and cranial dysfunctions. Craniosacral manual techniques for correcting cranial bone dysfunctions and myofascial release for myofascial pain could improve somatic tinnitus.
Reduction of Current Migraine Headache Pain Following Neck Massage and Spinal Manipulation
Younes Jahangiri Noudeh, MD,,* Nasibeh Vatankhah, MD, and Hamid R. Baradaran, MD, PhDCurriculums:
This abstract talks about how some manual therapies are helpful for headaches and migraines.
Craniosacral Therapy May Help Lesson Symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome
DOROTHY BEDFORDCurriculums:
Dorothy
talks about her daughter suffering from a concussion and how CranioSacral Therapy
helped her daughter.
She
also talks how concussions effects the CST system.
She found that this approach allowed her to determine the most effective sequence of treatment in a way that didn't overwhelm but naturally strengthened the whole system's own self-corrective mechanisms. A closely targeted sequence of treatment is invaluable in order for the body to be able to make corrections that occur locally as well as globally throughout the body and brain.
Visceral Mobilization Can Lyse and Prevent Peritoneal Adhesions in a Rat Model
Geoffrey M. Bove, DC, PhD, Susan L. Shapelle, RMTCurriculums:
Following cecal and abdominal wall surgery that resulted in palpable peritoneal adhesions in lab rats, visceral manipulation techniques were applied to a group of the rats. The results showed, using therapist palpation, a significant decrease in the severity of adhesions in the group(s)that received visceral manipulation techniques.
A TISSUE PRESSURE MODEL FOR THE PALPATORY PERCEPTION OF THE FREQUENCY OF THE CRANIAL RHYTHMIC IMPULSE
James M. Norton, Ph.D.Curriculums:
This mathematical analysis assumes that the sensation described as the CRI is related to the activation of slowly adapting cutaneous mechanoreceptors, that the deforming forces stimulating these mechanoreceptors are the tissue pressures of both the examiner and the subject, and that the sources of changes in these tissue pressures are the combined respiratory and cardiovascular rhythms of both examiner and subject.
