From the ER, clinic, wilderness, combat and high level athletes, we treat pain and injury, both acute and chronic. What is osteopathic medicine:
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is a method of hands-on (Manual) treatment used by Osteopathic Physicians to treat a great variety of medical and physical issues. OMM can be useful in relieving pain, improving and restoring more normal function

and promoting the body's natural ability to heal. OMM is used for acute and chronic issues by moving and correcting issues in the fascia (connective tissues, ligaments, and tendons), muscles, nerve and joints. Initially developed by Andrew Taylor Still MD DO over 140 years ago, the number of techniques have grown considerably, but all work in the same theoretical framework. Dr Langevin has 25 years experience and extensive training in many of the different techniques to include; Ligamentous Articular Strain, Fascial Distortion Model, Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy, Strain/Counterstrain, HVLA (high velocity low amplitude thrusting techniques) and several others. Each patient is thoroughly evaluated and the most appropriate techniques are utilized. Most techniques are gentle and involve very little effort, while others can be more aggressive that can be uncomfortable for a brief moment. The patient will notice immediately an improvement pain level, range of motion and well being. OMM is helpful for various conditions including:

Acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions: low back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis and degenerative processes, tendonitis, fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue syndrome

Ear, Nose and Throat conditions: ear infections, sinus infections, vertigo, tinnitus, eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ

Pregnancy: Low back pain and other musculoskeletal pain

Newborn: colic, reflux, ear infections

GYN: dysmenorrhea (period cramps), pelvic pain, pelvic floor issues

Neurologic: headaches, concussions, traumatic brain injury, carpel tunnel syndrome

Your patients are in pain. What if the answer is in their ear? 👂

Great advice.

So interesting! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42592109/
Antenatal or prenatal hand expression has been proposed as a possible intervention for folks with gestational diabetes. Now we have more evidence than ever. I find it interesting that it reduced maternal depressive symptoms.
The study found:
Findings: Over the 8-week postpartum period, the proportion of women exclusively breastfeeding in the intervention group was higher than in control group at discharge (16.3% vs. 8.9%; aOR 2.28 [95% CI 1.01-5.14]), four weeks (30.9% vs. 20.3%; aOR 2.00 [1.07-3.74]), and eight weeks (29.3% vs. 25.2%; aOR 1.37 [0.73-2.56]). The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher odds of exclusive breastfeeding over time (adjusted odds ratio 2.43 [95% CI 1.17-5.04], p < 0.05). Regarding secondary outcomes, the intervention group reported significantly lower maternal depressive symptoms at 8 weeks postpartum (mean difference -1.74 [95% CI -2.94 to -0.54], p = 0.004) and higher breastfeeding self-efficacy at 8 weeks postpartum (mean difference 3.30 [95% CI 0.12-6.48], p = 0.042). Rates of any breastfeeding did not differ significantly between groups at any time point (aOR 0.68 [95% CI 0.21-2.20]). Neonatal hypoglycemia and gestational age at birth did not differ between groups.

Interpretation: The GAME program significantly increased exclusive breastfeeding, improved breastfeeding self-efficacy, and reduced maternal depressive symptoms in women with GDM, with no added perinatal risk. Integrating structured AME into routine antenatal care could improve both infant feeding and maternal psychological well-being in this high-risk population.

Cool, teaching next year.
