Osteopati Yaklaşımı; Bel Ve Boyun Ağrılarında yeri

Abstract

Bel ve boyun ağrıları oldukça yaygın görülen, kalıcı fonksiyonel kayıplara ve iş gücü kaybına neden olan en önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Ağrı hastaların psikolojik durumlarını önemli oranda etkilemekte, beraberinde hastaların günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde kısıtlama ve depresyona yatkınlık oluşturmaktadır. Osteopatik manuel terapi (OMT); kas iskelet sistemi hastalıklarında konvansiyonel tedaviyi tamamlamak amacıyla sıkça kullanılan, önemli bir tedavi şeklidir. OMT bedeni bir bütün olarak değerlendiren, homeostatik mekanizmaları geliştiren, yapı ve fonksiyon ilişkilerini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için tanı ve tedavi stratejileri içeren bir yaklaşımdır. OMT, kas-iskelet ağrısını azaltır, disfonksiyonun vücut sistemleri üzerindeki etkisini azaltır, solunum mekaniğini geliştirir, venöz ve lenfatik drenajı iyileştirir. OMT parietal, visseral ve kranial osteopati olmak üzere 3 sistem üzerinden etki gösterir. Parietal Osteopati; Kas iskelet sisteminden kaynaklanan ağrı ve disfonksiyonların tedavisinde kullanılır. Visseral osteopati, visseral yapılardaki problemleri tedavi ederek, bunların neden olduğu ağrı ve şikâyetleri ortadan kaldıran bir tedavi yaklaşımıdır. Kranial osteopati hassas ve hafif dokunuşlarla yapılan osteopatik bir tedavi tipidir. Hastada var olan ağrı ve şikâyetlerin ortadan kaldırılmasına yardımcı olur.
