IAOM 2022 Session 05 | Are We Missing Something Obvious With the Mouth – Osteopathy?
This session will explore what can be added (and what you may not even recognize is missing) by adding an osteopath to your treatment team for every patient. From how the eyes affect the teeth and tongue to how you can use timed muscle tension to move the bones of the face, this session will explore many untaught facets of how the face, mouth and head interact – and how to use them to improve treatment outcomes.
- Identify a primary visual strain and know when to refer.
- Identify an intraosseous strain in a tooth.
- Demonstrate use of the muscles of the face and tongue to move the bones of the face.

About Charlie Beck, D.O., F.A.A.O.:
Charlie Beck, D.O., F.A.A.O. graduated from the Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine (now the University of Pikeville) in 2004. He was one of Pikeville’s first under- graduate fellows, staying an extra year in medical school to study osteopathic manipula- tion more in depth. Taught by Edward G. Stiles, D.O., F.A.A.O.dist, Charlie was given an excellent foundation for learning manipulative medicine. He is the first resident in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine in the history of his hospital and his state (Westview Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana).
Charlie has taken numerous classes across the US and Canada and is skilled in multi- ple techniques and modalities. He has taught courses and given presentations here in the U.S. – for the American Academy of Osteopathy, the Osteopathic Cranial Academy, the Indiana Academy of Osteopathy, and numerous medical schools. He has also taught in Canada, Japan, Eastern and Western Europe as well as in Australia and New Zealand, where he works yearly as a locum osteopath. He is the president of the Indi- ana Academy of Osteopathy and a member and lecturer of the ALF InterFACE Acad- emy. He is a published author and researcher. As his learning deepens by working with others he is always searching for the commonalities between different practitioners and healing styles. This has allowed him to bring together osteopathy with dentistry and vi- sion to give a unique perspective on your illness/injury. He continues to strive to inte- grate this learning into principles that are easily taught to others. His primary practice is in Lebanon, IN.
