-
Impaired or altered function of related components of the body framework system: skeletal, arthrodial and myofascial structures, and their related vascular, lymphatic and neural elements. It is characterised by positional asymmetry, restricted range of motion, tissue texture abnormalities, and/or tenderness. The positional and motion aspects of somatic dysfunction are generally described by: (1) The position of a body part as determined by palpation and referenced to its defined adjacent structure, (2) The directions in which motion is freer, and (3) The directions in which motion is restricted. Somatic dysfunction is treatable using osteopathic manipulative treatment.
