Injuries
intraosseous

Techniques and principles underlying osteopathy

The book outlines ideal techniques in sports trauma and injury recovery and explains the multifactorial causes of intraosseous injuries, broadly broken down into metabolic and mechanical causes, and offers a cue on the fundamental role of hydration in bone elasticity.

What are intraosseous lesions?

Intraosseous injury is an injury within part of a bone, whether long, short, or flat.
In most cases it is produced by direct trauma that does not, however, generate an actual fracture.

Theory

Experiments conducted on the skeleton of animal models and on human bone segments from cadavers have shown that small micro-injuries of a length that can vary between 50 and 100 μm accumulate in bones due to physiological loading. “Microcracks” were first studied systematically by Frost in 1960, who devised methods for their observation and classification.

Technique

Intraosseous techniques start by listening to bone density followed by lesion identification. All that remains at this point is to give the bone a foothold so that it can activate those regenerative processes it has in memory. The book contains a hundred techniques with related tests and illustrative color photos.

Intraosseous techniques have proven to be a key tool in enabling self-healing processes to be activated in my patients’ bodies.

Karen

Osteopath

I have been using the intraosseous techniques outlined in this book since 2014, and osteopathy sessions have been much more effective since then. What is evident is the benefit of patients in real time, at the end of the session they have no more pain. Absolutely recommended.
