Finding a way between osteopathic principles and evidence-based practices: Response to Esteves et al.
We have been delighted to read Esteves et al. ’s editorial [1] and the responses it has sparked regarding the evolution of osteopathy, osteopathic education and research development. Numerous differences exist in osteopathic practice and education all around the world partly due to differing legal recognition and professional statutes. The de bate requires the consideration of all these aspects in relation to the professional environment in which osteopaths evolve [2–5] which may stimulate a rich debate on the consensus/disagreements surrounding osteopathic practice and education.

“Models and theoretical frameworks for osteopathic care – a critical view and call for updates and research”
Admirable work was done by Esteves and co-authors in their recent editorial: “Models and theoretical frameworks for osteopathic care – a critical view and call for updates and research”1. On the one hand, the authors highlighted the importance of having a robust conceptual framework for complex health interventions such as osteopathic care, on the other hand, they offe red to the community of practice pragmatic methodological steps for the development of theoretically and evidentially informed osteopathic care models.

Biomedical origins of the term 'osteopathic lesion' and its impact on people in pain
Osteopathic manual practitioners in Canada use, and continue to be educated to use the term 'osteopathic lesion'. This term is either derived from or directly drawn from the biomedical model; the overarching framework through which most healthcare is delivered. Use of the term illustrates the adoption and misappropriation of a biomedical term and follows the same curative reasoning processes as in biomedicine. Manual osteopathic practitioners in Canada believe the osteopathic lesion to be a palpably detectable entity. (Source: International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine)

Response to: Models and theoretical frameworks for osteopathic care - A critical view and call for updates and research
Practicing osteopathy in a country where it has recently been regulated at an academic level, and recognizing the absolute importance of background education in professional practice, it was with great interest that we read the editorial titled “Models and theoretical frameworks for osteopathic care – a critical view and call for updates and research” by Esteves J et al. in the IJOM, 2020 [1]. We offer the following reflections: (Source: International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine)

A guide to writing a case report of an osteopathic patient
Case reports provide a valuable insight into osteopathic practice. They allow for the description of diagnoses, interventions and management strategies for complaints that present to practice. Although case reports are traditionally associated with descriptions of rare or unique cases, reports of more common presentations to osteopaths are exceptionally useful. The purpose of this Masterclass is to describe how to construct a case report for the journal, and many other medical journals. The Masterclass outlines how to use the Case Report (CARE) guidelines and provides examples from published case reports related to osteopa...

Osteopathic manipulative techniques for migraine treatment - Letter to the editor
Migraines have a high prevalence and are ranked sixth by the World Health Organization for years lost to disability [1]. Even though migraines are so highly ranked in terms of WHO disability years, there is little research on the use of Osteopathic Manipulation Techniques (OMT) to treat this condition. The goal of OMT is to provide minimally invasive techniques, rather than relying on invasive procedures and medications that carry side effects, to treat somatic or neurologic symptoms. Even though there is a large amount of OMT techniques that focus on cranial treatments published in osteopathic literature, there is a deart...
