HAS YOUR LIVER BEEN LIBERATED?

Tala Skari/Paris
Curriculums:

Very Interesting Read!!

Probably the only thing most people care to know about their gurgling inner organs is that they are functioning properly. But for Jean-Pierre Barral, an osteopath practicing in Grenoble, France, the body's vital viscera are like a beautifully complicated timepiece, your Liver alone travels 600 meters.

An organ that loses its mobility can throw the whole organism out of whack," he says. "Our task is to help it get back on track.

Helping the Brain Drain: How CranioSacral Therapy Aids ADD/ADHD

John Upledger, DO OMM, Tad Wanveer LMT, CST-D
Curriculums:

Read This Article!!

Ina a gentle manner CST can help release restritions to natural enhance brain function, decrease levels ADD and ADHD, and in many cases, alleviate the disorder all together.

CranioSacral Therapy can have a profoundly positive effect on brain and spinal cord function. It has been used successfully in the treatment of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) since 1975.

PT Classroom-Muscle Balancing: Criterion-Based Evaluation and Treatment of the Knee Complex

Kerry D’Ambrogio DOM, AP, PT, DO-MTP and Trisha Becker, PT, DPT, MHS, OCS
Curriculums:

Muscle Balancing is part of the extensive manual-therapy curriculum. When Indicated on a criterion-based evaluation. The muscle Balancing treatment approach helps to reduce muscle tenderness, protective muscle spasm, fascial tension, and pain. Muscle Balancing increases joint mobility, decreases swelling restores proper joint biomechanics, improves functional ROM, and normalizes posture alignment.

Cranial Strain Patterns Associated With Concussions

Lauren Schwartzberg, OMS IV; Lilit Aslanyan, DO; Nicole Angelo, DO; Jayme Mancini, DO, PhD; Patricia S. Kooyman, DO; Reem Abu-Sbaih, DO; Hallie Zwibel, DO; Sheldon C. Yao, DO
Curriculums:

Treatments for Concussions with 16 patients who consented to participate, age range from 18 to 26 yrs. 10 men and 6 women. These participants found that some had other impairments that came from non-physiologic somatic dysfunctions that could help manage post-concussion symptoms.

Future studies should also examine the relationships between different types of concussions.

The study shows that more physicians and patients needed to be studied for more conclusive results.

Effect of Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine on an Aged Rat Model of Alzheimer Disease

Hope Tobey, DO; Tyler Lucas, BS; Douglas Bledsoe, BS; Michael Mykins, BS; Caroline Campbell, BS; Stuart S. Berr, PhD; Todd Sasser, PhD; Richard Helm, PhD; Per Gunnar Brolinson, DO; Bradley G. Klein, PhD; Blaise M. Costa, MPharm, PhD
Curriculums:

Alzheimer is the 6th leading cause of death's in the United States. An accumulation of metabolic waste composed of extracellular deposits seem to contribute to the Alzheimer's disease. The healthy brain has more rapid fluid and facilitates the clearance of macromolecules from the brain. The aging brain there is a reduction in the pulsation of cerebral vasculature in the fluid exchange.

They have done trials with great results.

Waves of CSF Flow Into The Brain During Sleep

Judy George
Curriculums:

During Sleep the Brain Shows large Scale Waves of blood oxygen red, followed by waves of cerebrospinal fluid blue.

These findings may have implications for nuerodegenerative deseases, including Alzheimers's and dementia.

Coupled electrophysiological, hemodynamic, and cerebrospinal fluid oscillations in human sleep

N.E. Fultz
Curriculums:

Sleep is essential for both cognition and maintenance of healthy brain function. Slow waves in neural activity contribute to memory consolidation, while cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clears metabolic waste products from the brain. Whether these two processes are related is not known. We used accelerated neuroimaging to measure physiological and neural dynamics in the human brain. We discovered a coherent pattern of oscillating electrophysiological, hemodynamic, and CSF dynamics that appears during non-rapid eye movement sleep. Neural slow waves are followed by hemodynamic oscillations, which in turn are coupled to CSF flow. These results demonstrate that the sleeping brain exhibits waves of CSF flow on a macroscopic scale, and these CSF dynamics are interlinked with neural and hemodynamic rhythms.
