Objective:
This paper evaluates the question whether any experience with the osteopathic treatment of gestational problems like hyperemesis gravidarum, hypertension during pregnancy or gestational diabetes has already been gained.
Method:
The evaluation of this topic is based on expert interviews supported by interview guidelines. Four renowned experts in the field of osteopathy and the treatment of pregnant women answer questions about their experience, the risks and limitations of osteopathic therapy of problems like hyperemesis gravidarum, hypertension during pregnancy and gestational diabetes.
Foundations:
The approach to this topic is based on two pillars: the evaluation of A.T. Still’s philosophy in particular the aspect of “structure governs function” and the current knowledge and understanding of the above mentioned gestational problems.
Result:
The interviewed experts believe that hyperemesis gravidarum and hypertension during pregnancy can be positively influenced with osteopathic treatment. In the case of gestational diabetes the experts’ opinions differ as to in how far osteopathy might be able to influence the condition in a positive way. - presented at
