Trauma: An Integrative Osteopathic Approach

Denise K. Burns, DO, FAAO, 2014 Convocation Program Chair
The 2014 Convocation is an exciting osteopathic medical program centered around trauma. We
will address the mechanisms associated with trauma, the biodynamics and its effects on the total
body. Participants will learn how to identify and address all the components of trauma that the
osteopathic physician commonly encounters in clinical practice.
Denise K. Burns,
DO, FAAO
Evening with the FAAOs:
Treating Trauma Osteopathically Through the Experts Eyes

Michael P. Rowane, DO, FAAO, Evening with the FAAOs Program Chair
Patients who have undergone trauma are a challenge for even the most seasoned clinicians.
A panel of expert FAAO physicians will share their insights and recommendations for
osteopathically evaluating and treating patients who have experienced trauma.

Osteopathic Approach to Common ENT Complaints of Children

An Introduction to The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)
Who May Attend?
The primary educational objective of the AAO is to provide programs

aimed to improve understanding of philosophy and diagnostic/
manipulative skills for AAO members, DOs who are not AAO
members, individuals who are licensed for the unlimited scope and
practice of medicine, and those in programs leading to such licensure.
Another educational objective of the AAO is to provide programs
aimed to improve understanding of manual techniques for licensed
health care professionals within their respective scopes of practice.
Enrollment in a class or classes is not a substitute for completion
of education and training in a college of osteopathic medicine, and
simply taking a course or courses in manual techniques does not
provide the necessary training and skills to practice osteopathic
manipulative treatment and/or osteopathic manipulative medicine.
AAO Refund Policy
1. All cancellations must be received in writing by Feb. 20, 2014.

2. An administrative fee of 20 percent of the total registration
fee will be charged for all cancellations made prior to Feb.20,
2014.
3. Any registrant who fails to appear for an AAO program can
transfer up to 50 percent of their registration fee to another
AAO educational program to be held within the next 12 months
if a written and signed explanation is received at the AAO office
within 10 days of the scheduled course he/she was unable to
attend. All other cancellations will receive no refund or transfer
of registration fees.
4. Meal tickets are non-refundable. There is no discount for not
attending pre-paid food functions.
Concurrent Breakout Sessions

Thursday, March 20, 2014
2A/3A: OMT & Physics to Reverse the Damage of Trauma;
Dr.Dowling
Description: Patients often present with histories
of trauma that precede their complaints of
neuromusculoskeletal disorder. An additional history and
physical examination, including osteopathic structural
examination, can be utilized to develop treatments to assist in
reversing the condition. The workshop will focus on applying
osteopathic principles by addressing the findings through
a variety of modalities in a synthesizing fashion while also
addressing the other mind and spirit components of the
person.
2B/3B: Palpation and Treating the Brain Initial Phase:
Trauma and Related Sympathetic States; Dr.Chikly
Description: In this lab we will provide an easy and
effective treatment to regularize tissue response to
trauma, including hyper- and hypoarousal states.
We will review some of the trauma theory and we will
demonstrate an osteopathic application of the polyvagal
theory of Stephen Porges.
2C/3C: Practical Procedures for Integrating Chinese

Energetics into an Osteopathic Understanding of
Midline Function; Dr.Laseter
Description: The Microcosmic Orbit is a classical
understanding of midline function from the Daoist
perspective. It is both a prelude and underpinning of
traditional Chinese medicine. Procedures for accessing the
energetic midline and objective evidence of its utility will be
presented. A new approach to treatment of the thoracolumbar
spine and costal elements will be illustrated. This material can
be integrated into an osteopathic treatment paradigm and is
equally useful as an exercise in patient self-care.
2D/3D: Allowing Inherent Forces to Resolve Traumatic
Strains; Dr.Goldman
Description: W.G. Sutherland has generally been

credited with introducing the osteopathic profession
to techniques related to the cranium. However, Sutherland,
a direct hands-on-hands student of A.T. Still was certain that
Still already understood the role of the cranium within the
osteopathic concept. Sutherlands lifes work helped him and
those who followed to understand inherent forces within
the patient, which he taught to others so they may better
understand Osteopathy. This lecture will present his approach
to treatment. He said, the inherent forces within the patients
body are more potent and accurate than any force that can
possibly be brought to bear from without.
= Lecture only
2E:
Treating Injury Shock After Trauma; Dr.Nerman
Description: Trauma disrupts the body in many

ways. It compromises the musculoskeletal, vascular
and lymphatic systems. One of the most devastating
aspects of trauma is how profoundly it disrupts the nervous
system, compromising the autonomic nervous systems
balance and the cranial rhythmic impulse. I call that
disruption injury shock. Until injury shock is addressed and
the autonomic nervous system returned to balance, the bodys
ability to heal is severely compromised. For me, treating
injury shock is a critical aspect of treating trauma. In these
sessions, I will focus on three to four techniques that I have
found key to releasing injury shock: Dr.Fulfords abdominal
diaphragm release, rebalancing the ANS by treating the midthoracic, sacrum and OA junction, and calming CNS irritability
through a version of the CV4 that even practitioners not
trained in Cranial Osteopathy can use.
3E:
Self-treatment for Instant Healing of Trauma and

Disease; Drs. DEramo and Torres-Leon
Description: As osteopaths, it is incumbent upon us to

learn the science behind how we heal, to incorporate
these principles in our medical practice, and to initiate a
change in the ways we apply the art and science of medicine.
This teaching draws upon the research and work of multiple
other scientists and practitioners in the field of quantum
physics, cell biology, electrophysiology, and neurobiology,
including: Institute for Heart Math; Bruce Lipton, PhD; Joan
Borysenko, MD; Lynne McTaggart and David Hawkins, MD.
Friday, March 21, 2014
5A/6A: Detecting the Functional Persistence of Trauma in

Osteopathic Treatment; Dr.Hagopian
Description: There is a reason we call osteopathic
lesions somatic dysfunctionswith the emphasis
on the noun dysfunctionsrather than functional dyssomatics. Trauma often persists as a living process. In this
lab session, making a case for the need for a more functional
approach, we will examine some elusive aspects of trauma as
we build a perception-based (non-protocol) methodology for
clinical care.
5B/6B: Impact Injuries: Description, Diagnosis and
Treatment of Four Common Patterns of Viscoelastic
Change; Dr.Bellew
Description: The four most common impact injuries

will be described anatomically. Techniques for
diagnosing and treating these utilizing observation, gross
motion testing and the PRM will be discussed and, when
possible, demonstrated. Given the observed incidence of this
type of injury (14% ) it is anticipated that participants will
have the opportunity to observe, if not diagnose and treat,
an impact injury in their colleagues. A well-developed ability
to perceive the PRM is necessary to obtain maximum benefit
= Hands-on workshop from this workshop.

5C/6C: Trauma in the Fascia: Undoing the Damage and
Supporting the Healing; Dr.OConnell
Description: Trauma causes far-reaching effects
from the intra-cellular to the extra-corporeal. This
workshop will give practical experience in identifying
and alleviating the effects of trauma. Using the fascia as a
portal of entry, participants will identify trauma patterns,
primary dysfunctions, and compensation patterns and
apply techniques to address these issues. Consideration of
complex layered trauma also will be discussed with treatment
strategies developed.
5D/6D: VSR: Osteopathic Evaluation and Treatment of Lower
Extremity Injuries with Regard to the Urogenital and
Hepatic Systems; Dr.Tortu
Description: This workshop deepens the knowledge
gained in the lecture by evaluating the effects
of myriad and common lower extremity injuries as the
fascial origin of dysfunction of certain organs of excretion,
specifically, the kidney and urinary bladder and the
liver and gallbladder. Old, lower extremity injury causes
fascially-mediated restriction and irritation of the end
organ via deposition of shockwave injury patterns along the
associated meridian. This triggers a mechanicotransduction
of increasing fascial tone into increasing afferent CNS tone,
via the viscero somatic reflex arc, triggering the increased
efferent tone responsible for the somatic complaints we
commonly see: somatic dysfunctions of the lower extremity,
pelvis and lumbosacral regions as well as the commonlyknown, autonomically mediated somatic dysfunctions found
along dermatomally connected somatic regions. Osteopathic
evaluation and treatment of these old injury patterns
with respect to the specific organ dysfunction releases the
aberrant, fascially-mediated tone, decreasing afferent CNS
tone and, by reflex, decreases efferent CNS tone, releasing the
somatic complaints associated with the injury pattern and
improving the function of these organs.
5E:
Whiplash as a Total Body Injury; Dr.Robbins
Description: Whiplash is a condition commonly

considered to involve only cervical musculoskeletal
injury, but the neck nexus involves multi-region
anatomic derangement and multi-system dysfunction. In this
lecture/workshop we will relate postural compensations
and spinal junction shifts to mechanism of injury and vector
strains in order to provide head-to-foot clinical evaluations
and generate more comprehensive documentation of findings
and treatments. Learn osteopathic techniques (myofascial,
cranial, articulatory, HVLA, muscle energy) and take-home
exercises helpful in whiplash recovery from eyestrain to
pedal-stomping.
5F:
Component Society Forum; Dr.Lossing
Description: AAO Component Society leaders are invited

to this unstructured discussion forum with AAO President-elect
Kenneth J. Lossing, DO. The objective is to promote cooperation
and collaboration in an effort to better serve AAO members
needs.
6E:
Magoun Memorial FAAO/NUFA Forum
Description: An informal gathering of the FAAOs

and NUFAs. This workshop gives the FAAOs a chance
to mentor the National Undergraduate Fellows who are
attending Convocation. It is an excellent opportunity for them
to share their knowledge and expertise with the students who
wish to follow in their footsteps. If you are a FAAO, please
consider joining this very important workshop.
Saturday, March 22, 2014
8A/9A: Precise Facet Activation at Your Fingertips:

Cervical and OA HVLA; Dr.Kuchera
Description: Safety and efficacy in cervical highvelocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) is paramount. This lecture
and workshop is conducted by an FAAO physician who, in
clinical and research settings, has studied miles and miles of
cervical structure-function relationships. Specifically he will
focus on specific diagnosis and treatment of cervical somatic
dysfunctions affecting one or both of the facet joints at each
vertebral unit. Fingerpad localization and precise gliding
HVLA activation will be discussed in lecture and offered in the
hands-on lab. This presentation was designed to review and
fine-tune existing technique and provide new insights in the
application of cervical HVLA.
8B/9B: Obstetrical Trauma; To be determined
Description: To be determined
8C/9C: Perinatal Cranial Trauma: Osteopathic Approaches;

Dr.Capobianco
Description: Osteopathic manipulative approaches to
address perinatal trauma in patients of all ages.
8D:

Faculty Development Workshop 1

The Teaching Identity; Dr. Schwalenberg
Teaching While Practicing Osteopathic Medicine:
Secrets of Master Teachers; Dr. Rowane
8E:
Ariadnes String in the Rising Labyrinth of

Harmonization After Trauma: An Osteosophical
Conceptualization (How global do you need to go to
treat a local trauma?); Dr.Beuckels
Description: A physician is defined as a teacher. It

is a critical role for an Osteopathic physician to be
a teacher, whether they are in an academic setting or in a
community-based practice. The emphasis of these interactive
sessions is to explore the role and identify the desirable
characteristics for being an excellent teaching osteopathic
physician.
Description: Dr.Beuckels will discuss the local and

total shift in form and motion after trauma, giving
an overview of the levels of harmonization and how new
harmony transforms interactive neurological motion in
one-way traffic. The workshop will cover defascilitation in
the neurological girdles, how to bring the patient back to
the neurological neutral before treating the local trauma, an
introduction to defascilitation procedures while discovering
the Ariadnes string of trauma.

9D:


Promoting the Osteopathic Concept: Pearls in
Research and Writing a Scientific Paper; Dr.Hensel
Description: There is a tremendous need to advance

the osteopathic concept through medical literature.
The word research may seem daunting, but simple
strategies will be presented to demystify the process so it can
be accomplished without fear. This hands-on workshop will
assist the osteopathic physician to take an idea through the
steps of writing a manuscript for submission to a journal.
9E:
Dental Trauma Associated with Tooth Extraction; An

Osteopathic Approach; Drs. Gustowski and Meyer
Description: This hands-on workshop will present an

efficient yet effective application of OMT for patients
who have head or neck pain following a dental
extraction. Participants will learn how to quickly
transition from osteopathic diagnosis into performing a
treatment. Two intra-oral techniques designed specifically to
address trauma at the extraction site will also be presented.
This workshop welcomes participants of all skill levels
and expertise. Participants who have recently had a dental
extraction are encouraged to attend, although it is not a
requirement.
9F:
Coding and Reimbursement: Understanding ACOs

and Risk Sharing in the Emerging Market and E&M &
OMT Coding 101; Dr.Jorgensen
ACO: Accountable Care Organizations are not just

a buzz word, but a serious reality in the emerging
reimbursement markets, and its imperative to understand
the value we bring to the table and the uniqueness of our care
relative to the benefit and cost to our patients and the system.
Attendees will leave with a basis for conceptualizing how
they are being analyzed along with a strategy for how to play
the game in their current markets. If you expect to continue
working in the insurance market and being profitable, this
knowledge is critical to your success and your patients
ability to access your care. Coding 101: Its back to basics in
this fast-paced, one-hour program presenting Evaluation and
Management (E&M) and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
(OMT) documentation requirements to the participants.
Examples and Q&A will round out this program and will help
the seasoned and new provider better conceptualize how to
optimize the E&M and OMT coding rules for you and your
practice.

and 9:00 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, March 22. The OES
is provided for educational purposes only and not for
medical treatment. Your friends, colleagues, and students
will appreciate any time you can donate. In addition,
physicians receive a 1/2 Category 1-B AOA CME credit
for each person they treat!
The OES will be available on off hours (as long as the
Exhibit Hall is open) for those who just need a table and
have completed the appropriate paper work.
The OES will have a drawing at noon on Saturday. For

every person a physician treats during OES hours, his/
her name will be added to the drawing (e.g., 25 patients,
25 chances to WIN). The prize is a complimentary
registration for the 2015 Convocation in
Louisville,KY.
We encourage volunteers to invite students to observe
their techniques. However, the decision to allow others to
be present during treatment sessions belongs to you and
your educational subject. As always, thank you for your
participation and support!
With great appreciation,

Clay Walsh, DO, Chairperson

Become a Mentor Today!

The mission of the American Academy of Osteopathy Mentor
Program (AAO-MP) is to provide guidance and leadership
to Student American Academy of Osteopathy members.
The program was designed to help address the lack of
osteopathic-specific education during clinical years and
beyond by:
Reaching out to osteopathic medical students early in
their careers and providing a positive influence on their
future as an osteopathic physician; and
Helping provide educational and career guidance during

the OMS II and OMS III years when choosing hospital
sites for rotations, advice on residency selection and,
ultimately, how the osteopathic philosophy can be
incorporated into all aspects of medicine.
Every osteopathic student and physician is strongly

encouraged to participate in the AAO-MP. This is an excellent
opportunity for students to become active proponents of
Osteopathy and for physicians to contribute to making the
profession stronger.
Please see the Mentor/Protg portion of the physician

and student online registrations. Contact the AAO for
more information.
Nicholas S. Nicholas Fund

The AAO provides a sizable discount for students each year
to attend Convocation. The Nicholas S. Nicholas Fund was
created to help subsidize student registration fees. Please
