  1. Pediatric Sinus Drainage OMT Module • American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians • Robert Hostoffer, DO,FACOP, FAAP • edited by • Eric Hegybeli, DO, FACOP

  2. Background: Andrew Taylor Still, was born in Virginia in 1828, the son of a Methodist minister and physician. At an early age, Still decided to follow in his father's footsteps as a physician. After studying medicine and serving an apprenticeship under his father, Still became a licensed M.D. in the state of Missouri. Later, in the early 1860's, he completed additional coursework at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Kansas City, Missouri. He went on to serve as a surgeon in the Union Army during the Civil War.

  3. Background: • After the Civil War and following the death of three of his children from spinal meningitis in 1864, Still concluded that the orthodox medical practices of his day were frequently ineffective, and sometimes harmful. He devoted the next ten years of his life to studying the human body and finding better ways to treat disease.

  4. Background: His research and clinical observations led him to believe that the musculoskeletal system played a vital role in health and disease and that the body contained all of the elements needed to maintain health, if properly stimulated. Still believed that by correcting problems in the body's structure, through the use of manual techniques now known as osteopathic manipulative treatment, the body's ability to function and to heal itself could be greatly improved. He also promoted the idea of preventive medicine and endorsed the philosophy that physicians should focus on treating the whole patient, rather than just the disease. • http://www.aacom.org/OM/history.html

  6. Review Sinus Anatomy

  7. Review Anatomy of Ear

  8. Acute Otitis Media (AOM) The use of osteopathic manipulative treatment as adjuvant therapy in children with recurrent acute otitis media. Mills MV, Henley CE, Barnes LL, Carreiro JE, Degenhardt BF.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2003 Sep;157(9):861-6. Goals & Considerations Encourage proper Eustachian tube mechanics Tube positioning Promote drainage of the middle ear via lymphatic channels Central drainage Respiratory System:Otitis Media

  9. Eustachian tube difference

  10. Hands-On Approach Treating Otitis Media • Treatment Options • Thoracic Muscular Assessment and Treatment • Thoracic Inlet/Outlet Release (emphasizing the right side, which drains the entire head and neck) • Occipitoatlantal (OA) Release • Rib Raising (T1-4) • Chapman’s Points • Auricular Drainage Technique • Mandibular Drainage of Galbreath • Miller Thoracic Pump • Contraindications: Rib fracture and dislocation, malignancy of lymphatic system • Relative Contraindications: Decreased cough reflex

  11. Respiratory System:Pharyngitis • Goals & Considerations • Improve venous and lymphatic drainage • Promote arterial blood flow • Normalize cranial and spinal nerve afferents and efferents affecting function of the throat* • Relieve pain • * It is important to note that most of the cranial nerves which innervate the pharynx pass through the suboccipital area

  12. Hands-On Approach TreatingPharyngitis • Treatment Options • Cervical & Thoracic Muscular Assessment and Treatment • Thoracic Inlet/Outlet Release • OA Release • Rib Raising (T1-4) • Chapman’s Points • Cervical Chain Drainage • Miller Thoracic Pump • Contraindications: Rib fracture and dislocation, malignancy of lymphatic system • Relative Contraindications: Decreased cough reflex

  13. Hands-on Sinus Drainage Techniques

  14. Sinus Effleurage • To effleurage is to move in a stroking massage movement to move lymphatic fluids. Excessive mucus production, and decrease of cilliary motility can all be modified using effleurage. Effleurage will promote lymphatic drainage in both allergic or infective pathology. Effleurage of the anterior cervical chain towards each lymphatic duct and ultimately the heart will eventually promote health.

  15. Positioning • The patient is supine.With repetitive strokes, the thumbs are brought across the frontal maxillary sinuses from medial to lateral finishing at a point near the ear lobes. The thumbs should be used to milk the lymphatic fluid down the anterior aspect of the sternocleidomastoid muscle belly along the anterior cervical lymphatic chain towards the heart. Repeat this technique for complete drainage.

  20. Mandibular Drainage of Galbreath • A passive soft tissue technique is used to induce jaw motion to create increased drainage of middle ear and tonsillar areas via the eustachian tube and lymphatics. This technique can be used for chronic otitis media.

  21. Positioning The patient is supine and the dcotor isbehind patient, while stabilizing the head and placing traction on the mandible. With a “pumping action,” the fascia of the eustachian tube via the mandible is brought anteriorly and medially across the face a short distance, multiple times on each side of the head. The procedure is done for 30 seconds on each side for up to three times a day.

  22. Demonstrate the procedure on patient in front of director

  23. Ear Pull Technique • A gentle bilateral ear pull will help mobilize the underlying fascia and the temporal bones. The physician will notice that one side may be less mobile and may require longer to feel a release. The side that is more medial often correlates with an internally rotated temporal bone.

  24. Positioning • The patient is supine. The doctor is behind the patient. A gentle force is applied to the bilateral pinnae until the pinnae becomes more mobile. The earpull is helpful in infants but may not be useful in children that are moving around.

  25. Demonstrate the procedure on patient in front of director

  26. Chapman’s Reflexes • Discovered by Frank Chapman, D.O., • Chapman's Reflexes are painful palpated points located all over the body. • These reflexes are clinically useful in three principal ways: • 1) for diagnosis, • 2) for influencing the motion of fluids, mostly lymph, and • 3) for influencing visceral (organ) function through the nervous system.
