Members don't see this ad.

I was wondering if there is anyone who has had any success using OMT for the treatment of shingles, and would care to share their experience.

thanks in advance.

I'm an MSI in a DO school and we haven't even begun learning any visceral OMM stuff, just somatic so far (ie bones, muscles). But shingles??...umm....doubt it...

Well, if you want to do some OMM on someone in addition to standard of care

you can try some lymphatics techniques to enhance lymph circulation and some fascial releases around lymphatic drainage ducts.

For pain, in addition to meds, you can try some techniques that enhances parasympathetic responses

Of course, this isn't exactly EBM 🙂
