Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract The lymphatic system is the second circulatory system of our body and an essential integrator of all tissue fluids. If for some reason the work of this system was to be stopped, a patient would die in 24 hours due to massive edema and impaired retention of metabolic toxins. The aim of this article is to present osteopathic approach in assisting the treatment of lymphatic system insufficiency and the analysis of mechanism of lymphatic edema. The paper presents the mechanism of insufficiency of the lymphatic system and the osteopathic approach in the treatment of lymphedema. Osteopathic treatment used in this case can be divided into two areas of procedures. The first is aimed at removing the barriers in the flow of lymph, and the second is aimed at helping in the drainage in areas where the dysfunction occurred. Authors also list the techniques used in specific dysfunctions coexisting with lymphedema.
