Osteopati er en alternativ behandlingsform eller manuel medicin grundlagt af den amerikanske læge Andrew Taylor Still i 1882. Ordet Osteon er græsk og betyder knogle eller ben. Der bliver benyttet mange forskellige teknikker så som manipulation, mobilisering, muscle energy techniques (MET), kraniosakralterapi (KTS), etc.

Målet med osteopati er at få genoprettet kroppens balance og naturlige funktion. Osteopatien kombinerer viden om anatomi, fysiologi, biomekanik, neurologi, patologi (sygdomslære), embryologi (fosterlære) og organlære.[kilde mangler]

Der er ingen, eller utilstrækkelig evidens for at osteopati er effektivt som behandling for lidelser "ikke relateret" til knogler og muskler, "såsom hovedpine, migræne, smertefulde periode, spiseforstyrrelser, depression og overdreven gråd hos babyer (kolik)"; en eksplicit reference til påstandene i osteopatisk manipulativ medicin.[1] Andre har yderligere konkluderet at osteopatisk manipulation "ikke har vist overbevisende videnskabelig dokumentation" for dets effekt i behandlingen af muskoloskeletale smerter.[2]

Osteopati i Danmark

I Danmark er osteopati blev autorisationsberettiget per 1. juli 2018.[3] Det betyder at der stilles større krav til hvad en osteopat må behandle og hvordan de gør det, samtidig med at patienterne nu kan klage til Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed.

Text Appearing Before Image:
st dorsal, move the muscles upward and outward verydeep through the lumbar and sacral regions. 3. Place both hands on the same side of the spine;beginning at the first lumbar, move the muscles slightlyupward and strongly outv\ard, permitting the muscles toslip under the hand, through the lumbar and sacral regions.Treat the opposite side in a similar manner. 4. With the patient lying in the same position, theoperator removing his left shoe, places his left foot upon thesacrum, the right between the limbs of the patient; graspthe patients ankles, and, while pressing hard with thefoot upon the sacrum, draw the limbs slowly but stronglyupward as high as the patient can stand without much pain(cut 45). The spinal erection center lies in the lumbar region, andthe motor nerves for the deep artery of the penis arise fromthe first to the third sacral nerves, while the motor nervesfor the ischio-cavernosus and the deep transverse perinealmuscles arise from the third to the fourth sacral nerves.

Cut 45.—Impotency DISEASES OF THE yERYOUS SYSTEM. 387 The spinal ejaculation center lies at the fourth lumbarvertebra, and the motor fibers for the bulbo-cavernosus mus-cle, which ejects the semen from the bulb of the urethra,lie in the third and fourth sacral nerves. The above treatment, therefore, stimulates these centers,and frees the action of these nerves, permitting them to perform their functions. 5. Place the patient on his side with the limbs flexed;dip the finger in vaseline, ijassing it carefully up the rectum;manipulate gently but thoroughly the prostate gland, whichwill usually be found enlarged, thus obstructing the escapeof the semen from the ejaculatory ducts. 6. It is always advisable to manipulate thoroughly thepenis and testicles, giving strong extension to these parts. Treatment should be given every other day, and rarelyfails to effect a cure in from four to twelve weeks. Impotency caused by excesses and syphilitic affections isoften benefited, and sometimes cur
