It's been on my list for a while now to create an episode about cranial osteopathy, some of the myths and stigmas and some of the cold hard truths of the matter. Hopefully you might utilize this episode as a resource and a vector to challenge some of our conceptions about things like the CRI (cranial rhythmic impulse) or the primary respiratory mechanism . I've done my best to keep everything as grounded as possible in the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology and I hope this content equips us all to start challenging some of the dogma we're taught in medical school and seek out axiomatic truth. -- Basic Concepts of Brain Pathophysiology and Intracranial Pressure Monitoring-- Neurological Influences of the Temporomandibular Joint-- Cranial Rhythmic Impulse related to the Traube-Hering-Mayer Oscillation: comparing laser-Doppler flowmetry and palpation.Dr. Jordan Little D.O. - jordanlittle.do@gmail.comONMM Podcast -onmmpodcast@gmail.com

At 14 years old she contracted E.coli, which led to sepsis and many subsequent health challenges. Later a polyglandular autoimmune syndrome which led to chronic fatigue during medical school. She was disappointed there was not more education on lifestyle modifications to optimize health. This led her to seek knowledge on Integrative medicine, and acupuncture. At a Helms Medical Acupuncture Institute course she met a few osteopathic physicians who introduced her to osteopathic manipulative treatment. Finding herself living in the town where osteopathy was founded she applied to the plus one year at the ONMM residency in Kirksville, MO. Now she will be the OMM course director of the second year osteopathic medical students at ATSU.

After a near death experience, he realized his life had a purpose - that of serving others. He wasn't sure what this would look like until he worked with an osteopathic physician. Then and there he knew this was his path. During medical school he participated in a 40 hour cranial course which helped him appreciate in a knew way the dignity of the person and the patient. Now working as a traveling physician, he sees how the philosophy of osteopathy treating the whole person Body, Mind and Spirit is important to improve our healthcare system and as a juxtaposition from the influence of purely technocratic data driven approach to a person's health. He also works as part of the marketing committee for the Osteopathic Cranial Academy Foundation, promoting osteopathy to the public and the future generation of osteopathic physicians.

This past weekend a few of us MSU residents decided to take a road trip to the birthplace of osteopathy – Kirksville, MO. Some of the highlights were visiting the Museum of Osteopathy, Dr. Still's gravesite, touching the boots he wore and the staff he used.

I hope every osteopath is able to make it to Kirksville, and if you can't well here are a few stories to share what it's like.

His life evolves around love, love for self and love for the patient in front of him. One of his mentors the great Robert Fulford, DO said love holds everything together. All people are loveable because of their inherent health however great or little it may be. The person's health, according to Dr. Friedman is vastly more intelligent than the provider. In his practice the provider is to be in tune with health or in tune with what may be lacking inherent motion. This health is perceived through “Stillness”. Perception, he says, is not a projection. Perception is not willed. Perception should be of what is true. Enjoy this conversation which bounces between the physical and spiritual.

He is an internist whose heart lies in the philosophy of osteopathy. He reminds us medicine is both art and science. For both him and Dr. Still, osteopathy begins with anatomy. He visualizes the anatomy as he treats the patient, restoring motion and more specifically the blood flow. You must know anatomy to find and help restore health. Throughout his many years of clinical experiences working as an internist and understanding disease processes, he has trained himself to palpate and understand visceral somatic dysfunction. He has a reverence for the patient in front of him, listening and allowing the body to tell him what it needs. He attracts crowds of students during the Evening with the Stars, at the annual convocation so much so that students have asked him to come to teach at their medical school. Enjoy our conversation!

Her medical journey began after being hit by a car while riding her bicycle. She never broke any bones but that trauma manifested in her body as a daily headache. She never felt heard by the physician who examined her after the accident and from that time forward resolved to become a caring, compassionate physician who listened attentively to her patient's. OMM was her saving grace and the mentoring of Dr. Ed Stiles inspired her to choose a career path using the OMM. Today she is an ONMM Residency director educating and inspiring the next generation of osteopathic physicians. Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Kingery.

An athlete himself, interest in MSK medicine was a great fit. Enjoying medicine and the ICU he decided to train as an Internist, but never lost his desire to treat athletes. Following residency, he matriculated into a Sports Medicine Fellowship where his skills and knowledge of OMM were in everyday use. He values all the modalities of OMT but has found great utility in the Fascial Distortion Model Technique in treating all patients with musculoskeletal pain not only athletes. He says although this technique may be painful but is not harmful. The body has inherent intelligence which communicates with us via the body language of the patient.

Our topic for Philosteopathy this month was Myofascial Pain Syndrome. The concept has been around since the 1960's. We discussed some of the possible etiologies from the Travell trigger points to overuse syndromes, ROM loss, Autoimmune Disease, low Vit D, side effects of statin drugs, straining the fascial system with poor posture and psycho-emotional trauma. We spoke about how chronic myofascial pain may lead to central sensitization – a cycle of negative emotions and thoughts reiterating the narrative of your pain. The thoughts of “I am damaged, I am broken, or I cannot get better” being played over and over in one's head. An important aspect of addressing our patient's myofascial pain is listening to the patient's words, observing their behaviors and slowly addressing their fears if they are ready. This often means addressing their pain with many different modalities such as manipulation or injections. Although the keystone to a positive outcome seems to be empowering the patient to take ownership of their health to change their identity.

She is the “Multidimensional MD” who looks at the person from the perspective of Mind, Body and Spirit. She spoke to us about the subtle layer of emotion that is stored in the body and can be palpated just like bone, membrane and fluid. As the cofounder of the “Dig On Series” she is teaching the medical community about this subtle palpable layer in the body. How do you feel this you may ask? It all starts with becoming familiar with your own emotions and understanding how they manifest in your own body. Treating the emotional layer in the body is an effective way to lead the patient to health. Enjoy this conversation with as dive into the topic of palpating the emotions of the body.
