How to correctly detect an intraosseous lesion? How to treat it effectively and functionally? How much pressure to exert?
Here are some questions the course will answer, between technique and practice.
The course aims to explore a basic topic of Osteopathy: intraosseous injuries. When we talk about intraosseous lesions we refer to those lesions that are created within a part of a bone, whether long, short or flat regardless of fractures.
One millimeter before the bone fractures, lesions are created that promote the formation of a bone callus inside the bone that can be salvaged or remain there even for a lifetime. There are two types of intraosseous injuries: trauma injuries and overload injuries.
Injuries, often, are created as a result of direct trauma that does not, however, generate an actual fracture. That is why intraosseous techniques are also-but not only-useful in sports trauma and injury recovery. These techniques start by listening to bone density and identifying the lesion, proceeding by giving the bone a foothold so that it can activate those regenerative processes it has in memory.
The course, with a total duration of 12 hours, includes a theoretical part aimed at an in-depth understanding of intraosseous injuries. Topics include osteopathic definition, scientific explanation, and different possible causes. This will be followed by a part totally focused on intraosseous techniques. Each technique, linked to a specific part of the body, will follow an analysis protocol: position of the patient and therapist, tests to be performed for lesion detection and assessment of bone density, and actual technique to be applied.
