Creating Stillness for the Autonomic Nervous System

Rob Fournier OTR, CST-D
Curriculums:

Before we get out of bed in the morning, our mind is often already beginning to plan and organize. What am I going to have for breakfast? When am I going to have time to do all the things on my to do list? Then we may grab our phone and look at the emails from overnight before our feet even touch the floor.

What does all this activity do to our nervous system? It creates stress. Our autonomic nervous system is designed with two modes. One mode is our sympathetic mode, also known as fight, flight or freeze. The other mode is our parasympathetic mode, also known as rest, digest, and repair. Read more...

Structural abnormalities and osteopathic considerations in primary immunodeficiencies

Marija J. Rowane DO, Meghan A. Callahan BS, Jason E. Schend, DO, Michael P. Rowane, DO, MS, FAAFP, FAAO and Robert W. Hostoffer, Jr., DO, LhD, MSMEd, FACOP, FAAP, FCCP, FACOI

Structural Abnormalities in patients with this multi immunodeficiencies.


This multiorgan disorder commonly presents with skeletal abnormalities and defects. These are due to improper osteoblast activity leading to reduced bone volume and formation . This has manifested previously as flared ribs, leading to a rachitic rosary , large low-set ears, and small bones. Isolated T Cell defects have been associated with immune deficiencies cuased be T Cell developement.

Creating Stillness for the Autonomic Nervous System

Rob Fournier, OTR, CST-D
Curriculums:

Our Sympethetic mode reacts to dailey stress and keeps our system on high alert.

To relax your body you need to go into a stillpoint mode. You can use Our Stillpoint Inducer or try breathing techniques which will put you into this mode to help you get into a parasympathetic mode. This shift allows your body move into a healing state much faster than normal.

Chronic Therapy-Resistant Neck Pain in a Fifty-Year-Old Man: The Role of Partially Impacted Third Molars – Case Report and New Pathophysiological Insights

Lucy Naomi Shiratori Tusita, Lorenz Fischer
Curriculums:

 Case Report: We report on a patient with chronic, therapy-resistant neck pain whose cause lied in the tooth/jaw region, specifically, in wisdom teeth with space problems, and partially impacted. The tooth/jaw area itself was not painful; however, neck pain developed via the nucleus spinalis n. trigemini which extends into the cervical medulla.

Background: Inflammatory and mechanical stimuli in tooth / jaw pathologies can have far-reaching consequences via trigeminal and autonomic circuitry and can cause systemic (e.g., autoimmune) diseases and pain conditions outside the tooth/jaw region.

SomatoEmotional Release, Dialoguing, and Scope of Practice in CranioSacral Therapy

Tim Hutton, PhD, LMP, CST-D
Curriculums:

Our task when doing CST is to provide support in a safe environment for the client, allowing the client and therapist to engage together in the healing process. With enough support and safety, the client’s tissue will begin to change – if change is appropriate. As CST therapists, we provide that support and safety by being neutral, by being present, and by staying within our scope of practice. Be aware of the line between what is in your scope and what is not. Make sure you understand the nature of the SER process and remain neutral when dialoguing. Always remember that we are manual therapists. We are there to facilitate changes in the tissue.

Signaling mechanisms implicated in cranial sutures pathophysiology: Craniosynostosis

Maria A. Katsianou, Christos Adamopoulos, Heleni Vastardis, Efthimia K. Basdra
Curriculums:

Normal extension and skull expansion is a synchronized process that prevails along the osteogenic intersections of the cranial sutures. Cranial sutures operate as bone growth sites allowing swift bone generation at the edges of the bone fronts while they remain patent. Premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures can trigger craniosyn-ostosis, a birth defect characterized by dramatic manifestations in appearance and functional impairment.

Chronic Therapy-Resistant Neck Pain in a Fifty-Year-Old Man: The Role of Partially Impacted Third Molars – Case Report and New Pathophysiological Insights

Lucy Naomi Shiratori Tusitaa, Lorenz Fischerb
Curriculums:

The importance of oral health for systemic health has been pointed out for more than a hundred years ; however, it used to be an idea rather than a field of research. Nowadays, luckily, the dentist’s role in general health has become increasingly clear . Patients with poor oral hygiene, measured by plaque index, have a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases.

Periodontal disease significantly increases the prevalence and incidence of coronary heart disease. Neck pain may have some symtomatic results such as possibel chronic irritations in the trigminal areas.
