PATHOGENESIS OF THE LOCAL SOMATIC DYSFUNCTIONS (SCIENTIFIC REVIEW)
In the article presents the definition of the somatic dysfunction being the specific object of osteopathic treatment and types of pathogenesis of acute and chronic somatic dysfunctions locally. Somatic dysfunction is a reversible alteration of the body tissues functions manifesting by three components: biomechanical (mobility impairment, compliance and tissues stability); hydrodynamic/ rhythmogenic (disturbance of production, sending and acceptance of cardiac, respiratory and cranial rhythms); and neurodynamic (alteration of nervous regulation). Herewith the connective tissue is vital due to the presence in all organs performing biomechanical (supporting), trophic (metabolic), protective (barrier) and structure-forming (plastic, reparative) functions. For that reason pathogenesis of somatic dysfunction is considered from processes and structural changes of connective tissue.Systematic mechanical effects on the connective-tissue structures can lead to their reorganization. The lowering of the pressure on the tissue or the reduction of its tension lead to blood and intertissue liquid flow, and consequently, to the improvement of mobility and trophism, and in the course of time, to the reorganization (remodeling) of the architectonics. As a result, the structure of the connective tissue becomes more ordered and more functional. The earlier the osteopathic treatment starts, the higher is the possibility of restoration not only of the function but also of the structure of the organ.
