Neuroplasticity in chronic pain
The osteopathic view of chronic pain as a constitutional disease
Pain is an unpleasant multidimensional phenomenon with a neuronal or physiological component and it is a consequence of diseases or regional structures disorders due to a dysfunction of the nervous system. It results from the activation of harmful receptors and it is called neuropathic pain, when it results from a Central Nervous System (CNS) or Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) dysfunction, or central pain, when it results from a CNS injury.
Case Study
The contribution of Classical Osteopathy in a child with PHDA
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (PHDA) is a neurodevelopmental disorder of high prevalence, constituting the main reason for referral to neurodevelopment or child and adolescent mental health consultations. In the view of osteopathy, authors say that osteopathic treatment of the entire body has positively influences in learning/school problems. Although the mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is found that manual osteopathic treatment calms neurological excitability.
