“…This knowledge of the glymphatic system is of great interest to osteopathic physicians (DOs). DOs have commonly used OMT to remove impediments, or augment lymph flow, and stimulate the body's immune system defenses [29]. Knowledge of the role of the glymphatic system will allow DOs to further refine their OMT techniques for the lymphatic system, and their goals of treatment, to further enhance their ability to optimize care for their patients.…”

“…These other substances include colloids and minerals, proteins, lipids (absorbed from the intestinal tract and called chyle), cells (such as lymphocytes and macrophages, to name just two), waste products, and other foreign substances. Still, other substances may include (in varying amounts) damaged cells, nutrients, cancer cells, viruses, and bacteria [29,31].…”

“…Extrinsic forces include respiration, the contraction of skeletal muscles that surround the lymphatic vessels, and muscles that act as extrinsic pumps, namely the thoracoabdominal and pelvic diaphragms. Intrinsic forces include spontaneous, pacemaker-like contractions of the smooth muscle walls of larger lymphatic vessels, and stimulation of lymphatic vessel contractility through sympathetic innervation [29,42].…”

“…SD is defined as "impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system: skeletal, arthrodial and myofascial structures, and their related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements" [29]. SDs that result in restricted joint motion, hypertonic musculature (including restricted thoracoabdominal or pelvic diaphragm motion), abnormal myofascial tension, and/or decreased rib cage motion, may inhibit the cyclical expansion and contraction of the lymphatic vessels, resulting in less than the optimum flow of lymphatic fluid in those regions where SD is present.…”

Any conditions that result in abnormally altered autonomic activity may also reflexively affect the optimum functioning of the intrinsic lymphatic pumping mechanism in segmentally related body regions [29].…”

Osteopathic principles and philosophy suggest the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to restore, augment, or facilitate lymphatic fluid flow to maintain body fluid balance, and/or to stimulate immune system responses to aid in the recovery from illness and maintain normal body defense mechanisms. This review provides an osteopathic view of the role of the lymphatic system in health and disease, with an emphasis on the use of OMT to alleviate somatic dysfunctions (SD) that inhibit the optimum function of the lymphatic system. The current evidence base is reviewed for the use of OMT to assist in restoring or augmenting lymphatic system function to help patients recover from illness and maintain health and wellness. An overview is provided on how osteopathic principles and philosophy relative to the immune system are applied in practice. A literature search was conducted using databases such as Medline, PubMed, Ostmed-DR, and Scopus, focusing on osteopathic approaches to the lymphatic system. Keywords used included osteopathic manipulative medicine, OMT, and lymphatic manual treatment or therapy. Current osteopathic textbook information was also surveyed. There is support for the application of osteopathic principles and OMT for certain conditions that involve the lymphatic system. More prospective research is needed.

Integrated Osteopathic-Neurologic Examinations With Musculoskeletal Treatment

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The global burden of neurologic disorders are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide and has increased the demand for treatments and rehabilitation. Our proposed integrated Osteopathic-Neurological Examination (ONE) provides the physician with expanded diagnostic and point of care treatment modalities while allowing the physician to make a more tangible impact in patient care. By incorporating the osteopathic structural somatic examination with the complete neurological evaluation, somatic dysfunction, occurring as a consequence or independent of neurologic injury, can be identified and treated using osteopathic manipulative techniques at time of visit. Utilizing the proposed integrated examination, the physician can determine the interplay between structural and neurological findings to identify patterns of change that coincide with more specific diagnoses and the chronicity of a condition. Tangible benefits from the ONE approach translate to more accurate clinical assessment and enhanced patient and physician satisfaction.
