How to correctly identify an intraosseous lesion? How to treat it effectively and functionally? How much pressure to apply?
This course aims to explore a basic topic of Osteopathy: intraosseous injuries. When we talk about intraosseous injuries we refer to those injuries that are created within a part of a bone, whether long, short or flat regardless of fractures.
One millimeter before the bone fractures, injuries are created that promote the formation of a bony callus inside the bone that can be salvaged or remain there even for life. 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 injury, 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 15 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, related 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 bone density assessment, and actual technique to be applied.
