Osteopathic medicine, now in Yucatan!
A discipline created more than 100 years ago in the United States has spread throughout the world, and has reached Yucatan. Osteopathy is a medical practice that uses the power of the hands to treat many diseases.
This discipline differs from traditional, or allopathic medicine, for its philosophy and the way of treating patients. Its focus is the human body as a whole and does not focus on the affected area only. One of its main allies is not technology or sophisticated medical equipment, but the ability of the hands.
Osteopathic Medicine is based on four basic principles: one, the human being as a whole, mind, body and spirit; two, the bodies structure and function is interrelated; three, the body can heal itself; four, every disease has a musculoskeletal component, connected with the bones and muscles of the body, through which runs the circulatory, nervous and lymphatic systems.
Thanks to a cooperation agreement between the Health Services of Yucatan, UADY, and the College of Osteopathic Medicine from Michigan State University, American physicians teach their skills to doctors and interns who work at O'Horan Hospital. Thus Yucatan is the first state to practice Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Jake Rowan is the coordinator of this program sponsored by Michigan State University, which includes an exchange of students to spend time at Hospital O'Horan.
Dr. Rowan reports that the program includes developing field research in the state.
On March 8, in a meeting that was hosted by Governor Rolando Zapata Bello and the Director of the Institute of International Health at Michigan State University, prof. Reza Nassiri, they discussed projects that included telemedicine, clinical osteopathy, and hemodialysis units in the public hospitals in Yucatan.
At that meeting was the Health Secretary, Dr. Jorge Mendoza Mezquita, and the director of the Institute of State Public Welfare, C.P. Miguel Cabrera Palma.
Dr. Rowan explains that an osteopathic physician can treat any disease, from joint pain or headaches, to pneumonia, asthma, burns, postoperative ileus, gastric reflux, pregnancy problems, and so on.
With the help of Lic. Laura Mineto Fernandez, a representative from the Institute of Public Welfare, Dr. Rowan gave a demonstration of some of the techniques of osteopathic manipulation, which has generated interest among physicians and good results with patients at O'Horan.
This new discipline is here to stay and it looks promising, especially for the smaller communities of the state, because it does not require great medical infrastructure, only knowledge and skillful use of the hands to help cure diseases.
