Manipulation des disques intervertébraux

Affectant une large population, les pathologies discales sont un motif fréquent de consultation en médecine générale ou spécialisée. Au fil des années, la prise en charge des ces pathologies a subi de gros changements, passant d’un traitement chirurgical quasi systématique à une approche thérapeutique beaucoup moins invasive. Dans de nombreux cas de pathologies discales, l’ostéopathie peut être d’un grand secours. Ce livre présente les données anatomiques, physiologiques et mécaniques pour aider à comprendre les différents phénomènes qui affectent les disques. L’imagerie, les aspects diagnostiques et thérapeutiques des discopathies sont aussi abordés. Richement illustré de dessins anatomiques et de photos de mises en situation, il détaille de nombreuses manipulations et techniques. En plus de soulager la douleur des patients de manière locale, elles permettent d’appréhender plus globalement ce qui se passe dans l’organisme pour identifier les causes sous-jacentes d’une pathologie discale, lesquelles peuvent être nombreuses et diverses (perturbations mécaniques, causes métaboliques, problèmes vasculaires, pression psychosociale…). Cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les ostéopathes, kinésithérapeutes ou médecins qui souhaitent une vision plus globale des différents paramètres qui entraînent ou favorisent une pathologie discale. Il propose une prise en charge originale, ainsi que des conseils et des recommandations, tant pour les thérapeutes que pour les patients.
