Understanding Segmental and Somatic Dysfunction
Segmental and somatic dysfunction refers to a functional disorder that has its origins in the spine and skeletal system and often becomes noticeable in the pelvic region. It is associated with abnormal biomechanical or neural functions, notably in and around our body's "centre of gravity" - the pelvis.
Causes and Risk Factors
Whether due to sudden trauma, accumulated physical stress, prolonged sedentary behavior, or congenital disorders, segmental and somatic dysfunction can occur. Known risk factors include posture peculiarities, poor lifestyle, and certain health conditions, including obesity, arthritis, and pregnancy.
Signs and Symptoms
Recognizing the signs of segmental and somatic dysfunction in the pelvic region is a key step toward seeking appropriate treatment. Common symptoms range from local pain, discomfort during movement, referred pain to other body parts, and in severe cases, functional limitations.
Diagnostic Techniques
Health professionals utilize several techniques to diagnose this condition. Manual palpation skills, imaging techniques like MRI or CT scan, postural assessment, and movement analysis are employed to pin down the root cause.
Treatment and Management
Management of segmental and somatic dysfunctions is multifaceted, combining conservative treatments, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulative treatments (OMT), and if necessary, surgical interventions. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity can also aid in management and recovery.
