Spot The Lesion 1

As I said at the beginning of 2012 I am going to start a recurring series of posts I will call “Spot The Lesion”. As I find pictures that display lesions I will post them and leave the floor open as I want my colleagues to post comments to call out the lesions that they see – this is a chance for Osteopathic Manual Practitioners to show off a bit. The instructions are simple – look at the picture, click on the “read more” link, go to the bottom of the page and post a comment calling out the lesions that you see in the picture!

The Second Lumbar Vertebra

Now we head on up to the second lumbar segment. The second lumbar segment is very interesting as it is primarily in charge of the evacuation functions as well as some reproductive functions. I will explain those points soon.

The Third Lumbar Vertebra

Why am I speaking about this? Simply because I have found another instance where Osteopathic Principles are legitimately principles for all life on earth in all ways.

The Fourth Lumbar Vertebra

Now it is time to speak about the fourth lumbar segment – I will keep this simple…it is implicated in pretty much any condition in the pelvic viscera, reproductive organs, and lower limbs. Obviously this will not be easy to keep simple but I think I can manage!

Keep Digging in 2012

So, the holidays and starting my practice took me out of my writing mode – obviously! Now I am continuing with building my practice in Richmond Hill and I am going to get back on the writing wagon as well! Here are the big picture things I want to accomplish with this blog in 2012:
