Treatment of Refractory Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Visceral Osteopathy: Short-Term and Long-Term Results of a Randomized Trial. According to the low efficiency of available drugs in irritable bowel syndrome, a growing interest in alternative therapies is observed. The aim of this study was to apply a robust methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of visceral osteopathy […]

Lymphatic Pump Treatment Repeatedly Enhances the Lymphatic and Immune Systems Background: Osteopathic practitioners utilize manual therapies called lymphatic pump techniques (LPT) to treat edema and infectious diseases. While previous studies examined the effect of a single LPT treatment on the lymphatic system, the effect of repeated applications of LPT on lymphatic output and immunity has

The effects of Osteopathic Treatment on constipation in children with cerebral palsy – a pilot study. Objective: This pilot study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment in children with cerebral palsy and chronic constipation. Results: Most of the children included in this study were determined as level IV or V according to

Effect of Abdominal Lymphatic Pump Treatment on Disease Activity in a Rat Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Context: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, are chronic relapsing inflammatory diseases that affect 1.5 million people in the United States. Lymphatic pump treatment (LPT) techniques were designed to enhance the movement of

Abdominal Lymphatic Pump Treatment Increases Leukocyte Count and Flux in Thoracic Duct Lymph   “Previous studies suggest that rhythmic compression of the abdomen (abdominal lymphatic pump techniques, LPT) enhances immunity and resistance to infectious disease, but direct evidence of this has not been documented. In this study, the thoracic duct of eight anesthetized mongrel dogs was

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Lymphatic pump manipulation mobilizes inflammatory mediators into lymphatic circulation “Lymph stasis can result in edema and the accumulation of particulate matter, exudates, toxins and bacteria in tissue interstitial fluid, leading to inflammation, impaired immune cell trafficking, tissue hypoxia, tissue fibrosis and a variety of diseases. Previously, we demonstrated that osteopathic lymphatic pump techniques (LPTs)

Alterations in Gut Microbiome Composition and Function in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Increased Probiotic Abundance with Daily Supplementation Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by abdominal discomfort and irregular bowel movements and stool consistency. As such, the gut microbiome has been posited as being influential for the syndrome. However, identifying microbial features associated with IBS

Nobel Prize – Physiology and Medicine 2021 David Julius and Arden Patapoutian received the Nobel prize in Physiology and Medicine 2021 for demonstrating how nerve impulses are triggered in the skin so that temperature and pressure can be perceived. Patapoutian and his colleagues set out to understand how cells respond to touch, and through laborious
