Introduction. The main direction of conservative treatment patients with dorsopathies remains drug therapy, but most clinicians agree that even the «best» therapy does not always help to achieve desired results, and in addition is without a number known problems — allergic reactions, side effects, polypragmasy, impossibility use due presence comorbid pathology. Therefore, recent years there has been an increase interest various non-medicamentous methods dorsopathies: massage, physical physiotherapy, manual osteopathy, reflexotherapy. Previous work demonstrated clinical effectiveness both reflexotherapy osteopathic correction dorsopathies. Both osteopathy reflexology are disciplines actively position holistic approach human body subsequent treatment.

Introduction. At an osteopathic doctor’s appointment, musculoskeletal neck pain is the most common reason for consultation, reaching 60 %. Osteopathic doctors use a wide range of manual techniques to diagnose and correct somatic dysfunction, including articulation muscle-energy (MET). Both types can increase cervical spine mobility, decrease muscle tone, alter viscoelastic properties soft tissue, in asymptomatic individuals. No studies on effect MET tone according surface electromyography (SEMG) were found. Comparison different bioelectrical activity muscles one group subjects was also not conducted. The aim study : compare muscle-energetic young people with no complaints pain. Materials methods. From December 2023 March 2024, conducted at Department Osteopathy I. Mechnikov NWSMU (Saint-Petersburg) 30 participants aged 22 44 years (median 27 years), 17 women 13 men. time examination, they actively did present Inclusion criteria presence diseases and/or conditions that absolute contraindications correction, history trauma; metal structures spine; taking medications affecting study; neuromuscular diseases. Each participant treated twice: first stage second least month neck. Before immediately after treatment, sternocleidomastoid (SCMM) palpatory examined average amplitude their electrical A av. (pV) rest recorded using SEMG, which performed Kolibri wireless electrophysiologic signal monitoring complex («Neurotech», Russia). Recordings made synchronously from right left sides body, then asymmetry calculated as modulus difference between sides. Results. During examination before exposure both stages, SCMM often evaluated normal or elevated. After application articulation, number persons hypertonus statistically significantly decreased increased normotonus ( p =0,02), while groups these differ each other >0,05). articulations decreased, indicating tone. There significant this index stages MET, there tendency SCMM, but changes =0,11). =0,032). Conclusion. single equally reduces and, accordingly, muscles. same time, additionally reduce muscles, i. e. normalize more harmoniously. To objectify doctor patient such important result correction reduction its asymmetry, method EMG recommended. If electrode followed, gives reliable repeatable results, basis objective proving effectiveness techniques.

Introduction . In recent decades, a lot of new materials about etiology and pathogenesis biliary system diseases have been obtained effective drugs introduced. But, despite this, there remains much unrecognized controversial in etiopathogenesis principles treatment the disease. Moreover, frequency complicated forms disease overall incidence pathology continues to grow, which clearly shows need search for approaches diagnosis these conditions. The leading causes tract formation, actual problems pharmacotherapy (allergic reactions, side effects, polypragmasy), certain aspects comorbid make clinicians pay closer attention non-medicament methods, including osteopathic correction. Previous studies already demonstrated good clinical effect correction patients with disorders. At same time, most osteopathy present an assessment possibility using nosological forms. But no less important, our opinion, is conduct aimed at evaluating effectiveness (efficiency) individual techniques. aim study: investigate techniques gallbladder drainage. Materials methods. study was conducted 2022–2023 on basis Polyclinic Federation Independent Trade Unions Russia (Moscow) City Mariinsky Hospital (St. Petersburg). There were 30 people (9 men 21 women) aged 18 59 years (mean age 40,4±2,3 years) without gastrointestinal (biliary tract) who agreed participate study. All participants underwent fasting volume study, followed by one hour after eating trial breakfast (TB). One week first another then (OC) Thus two observation groups formed: 1 (TB) — function before taking breakfast; 2 drainage Participants did not receive other treatments during respondents examination ultrasound motor score (MFS) performed. Outcomes this defined as changes size motility. Results. No global level somatic dysfunction identified participants. Regional biomechanical disorders separate local dysfunctions more typical them. However, it possible identify any predominant dysfunctions, all them detected single cases. After exposure completed, status re-evaluated. analysis showed that statistically significant detection main both observations (p>0,05). observed respondents, abnormalities basic beginning revealed. stimulation differences (length width) within between registered (p>0,05), but dynamics form decrease response (p<0,05) when TB OC. assessed measure (MFS). case (TB), MFS value 0,66±0,09 0,58±0,07, corresponds normal functional activity. Compared use breakfast, slightly pronounced function, Conclusion Osteopathic manipulations activity comparable breakfast.
