The visceral system is richly innervated by the autonomic nervous system. When in dysfunction, the nociceptive fibers that travel with the SNS nerves are capable of producing metameric sensitization, which can lead to patterns of referred pain in somatic tissues.

The great influenza pandemic of 1917-1919 provided a unique opportunity for Osteopathy to demonstrate its full therapeutic potential, through the application of its elementary principles.
In the USA, it was found that patients treated by osteopathic doctors had a much lower mortality rate compared to records of patients treated by conventional doctors.
Demonstrating that this clinical success was not a coincidence, in recent decades, similar results have been found by researchers.
Remembering this episode highlights and reinforces the vitality of osteopathic philosophy, fundamental in preserving our collective memory.

I don't think it would be bold to say: this is simply my standard of living! It's what I bring with me and carry every day into my professional life, not because I intend to conquer the world, but because I always think that the world benefits and grows if it is more scented with Love...
I started my professional activity in the beautiful city of Porto, but it took a few years for me to feel that I should return to my origins. Maybe more help is needed here, I thought... maybe here I can better support my purpose... And today, I feel that way...
I developed my private practice in Osteopathy with adults, started treating teenagers and children and here I come to this house, to continue all the inspiration that my patients give me every day, and I find even more motivation, perhaps because I continue not to choose the World!
To each baby, teenager and family that comes to me I promise, not the world, but the best of myself, of Pediatric Osteopathy and the best of the world – Love!

Apesar de sermos uma instituição muito jovem, nem por isso nos devemos esquecer de que o que aqui fazemos é muito antigo, vem de muito longe e vai para muito longe: começou naquele dia perdido nos tempos em que pela primeira vez um ser humano percebeu que por detrás da biomecânica existia uma fisiologia imanente perante a equação da estrutura versos função e era obrigatório passar à geração seguinte a experiência e o saber que «o labor, o trabalho e a ação», como diria Hannah Arendt, lhe tinham proporcionado. Nesse dia longínquo, há dezenas de anos, esse ser humano deu início a uma das atividades mais belas e mais nobres da Humanidade: o ensino da Osteopatia.
É com o compromisso e o dever para com os nossos antecessores e alunos, que assumimos o ensino da Medicina Osteopática segundo os seus primórdios Princípios, com intuito na evolução e progresso do conhecimento.
Bem hajam ao IPOC.
O Diretor,
Marco Silvestre
