Neck Pain

 

 

 

 

A popular response to neck pain is taking drugs to cover up the problem (aspirin, analgesics, pain pills) or treating its symptoms (muscle relaxers, massage,hot packs). But neck pain isn’t caused by a lack of aspirin or drugs!

The osteopath approach to neck pain is to locate its underlying cause. This begins with a complete case history and thorough examination. Special attention is given to the structure and function of the spine, and its affect on the nervous system.

• Is the proper spinal curve present?
• Are the nerve openings between each pair of spinal bones free and clear?
• Is the head balanced?
• Are the shoulders level?

These and other considerations are used to create a plan of specific chiropractic adjustments to help improve the motion and position of spinal vertebrae. 

With improved structure and function, neck pain often diminishes or totally disappears — without addictive drugs or harmful side effects!

A common health complaint.

• Is it hard to look over your shoulder?
• Is there a constant pulling or throbbing pain in your neck? 
• Do you notice a “grinding” sound as you turn your head? 

Osteopaths are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. All of the joints in your body are part of this musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health. Ask your Osteopath for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice or other conservative methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition and lifestyle.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopaths view the body as a unique, interconnected, self-healing system.  They believe that the structure and the function of the body are closely related, and a disturbance in the body’s framework can interrupt the natural function of multiple systems, causing a wide range of symptoms.  Cranial osteopathy is a specific type of extremely gentle osteopathic treatment, which focuses on relieving stress and tension throughout the body. Because it’s such a gentle form of therapy, it can be practised on people with a wide range of conditions, and is suitable for all ages, from newborns to the elderly.  

Cranial osteopathy was founded by William Garner Sutherland, a pupil of the founder of osteopathy Andrew Taylor Still, in the 1930s.  As a student, studying the structure and function of the human skeleton, Sutherland was particularly interested in the way the bones of the skull fit together.  This fascination led him to investigate particular structure of the skull bones and their slight malleability.  It was this investigation that led to the development of cranial osteopathy and to the understanding of the role of cranial motion in health and sickness. 

Cranial osteopaths are trained to feel and interpret a very delicate, rhythmic shape change that exists in all body tissues.  This motion, called ‘Involuntary Motion’ or ‘Cranial Rhythm,’ comes about due to the  particular movement of cerebrospinal fluid bathing the spinal cord and the pull of the soft tissue connexions to the cranial bones. This involves a rhythmical elongation and narrowing, followed by a shortening and widening.  This cycle repeats approximately every 10 seconds, and is separate to the rhythm generated through breathing.

The cranial rhythm was first described by Dr Sutherland in the early twentieth century, and its existence was confirmed by a series of laboratory tests in the 1960’s and 70’s.  The motion is completely involuntary and so small in amplitude that only specially trained practitioners can feel its motion throughout the body.  

Tensions and stresses throughout the body are expressed as a disruption of the body’s natural cranial rhythm. As with traditional osteopathy, cranial osteopaths will perform a thorough case history and examination of their patients, however, treatment will consist of observing and treating disruptions in the cranial rhythm,  whether they be due to recent events or as retained tensions due to past incidents including emotional events.

Cranial osteopathy is simply another ‘tool’ in the osteopathic tool box and is taught to a greater or lesser degree in all osteopathic schools; however, practitioners may choose to further their knowledge and experience of cranial therapy by doing a post-graduate course and some practitioners choose to treat solely with cranial techniques. 

“Cranial osteopathy can be of particular benefit to mothers and babies post childbirth”.  Birth is one of the most stressful events of our lives and the compressive forces exerted on the body during this process can contribute to a lot of musculoskeletal problems sooner or later in life. In the latter part of pregnancy, the baby changes position in preparation for birth (engages). “If the baby engages in an awkward position it can cause abnormal strains to the cranial bones (intra-uterine compression)”, which are particularly mobile in babies in order to aid the passage through the birth canal. 

Similarly, when the birth is particularly traumatic or very long or very short, the head gets exposed to abnormal forces and can result in additional stress to the cranial bones limiting their ability to expand on the baby’s first breath. “Even c-sections can be traumatic for the baby”. The sudden exposure into the world comes as a ‘shock’ as the baby hasn’t had time to prepare. The result of these abnormal compressions and subsequent inadequate expansion of the head on the first breath is that the “baby can be left with a feeling of pressure inside the head. Signs that your baby may be experiencing birth compression might be; constantly crying irritable baby, sleep disturbances, feeding problems, wind, colic, sinusitis and ear, nose and throat disorders. The abnormal tensions in the cranial bones can also affect the nerves exiting from the skull. Babies can develop nausea and colic when the nerve supplying the stomach is irritated as it passes out the skull when the cranial base is misaligned.”

Cranial osteopathy may also be able to help with irregular head shapes (following forceps / suction cap deliveries). However, Ericka explains that the success of the treatment will depend on how soon you bring the child in for treatment. Since, as we age, our bones start to ossify (harden) and their malleability is reduced.  

And or mothers? During pregnancy, the body has to adapt to a constantly changing physical and chemical environment. Subtle treatment such as cranial osteopathy can help to transition the body in a non-traumatic way, as well as helping to return it back to ‘normal’ post birth.

What about everyone else? “Cranial osteopathy may be of benefit to adults who are afraid of more physical spinal manipulation, particularly when the nervous system is out of balance as with migraine, period problems, and irritable bowel syndrome. It can be a gentle, yet effective way to treat the same musculoskeletal problems presenting to traditional osteopaths such as; osteoarthritis, neck/back pain, frozen shoulder.”

How many sessions will I need? As with all therapy, “this depends on the duration of the complaint and the complexity of the strain pattern. As an example, babies with colic might receive 3-5 sessions.”

Sciatica and trapped nerves

Sciatica refers to pain caused by a compression, and often and irritation, of one of five nerve roots of the sciatic nerve. Sometimes the sciatic nerve itself is compressed or irritated.

Patients with this condition typically find that the pain is referred to the lower back, buttocks, and sometimes down the leg. The pain of sciatica can be intense. Patients may also experience numbness and weakness of the muscles as the compression of the nerve inhibits effective control. In a typical presentation, the symptoms are only felt on one side of the body.

Common Causes

• Sciatic nerves run down the spine from the backside, behind the thigh, the lower leg and into the foot and toes. Pressure on the nerve from a bulging disc can cause pain all the way along the nerve pathway or just part of the way along it
• Sciatica can come on gradually or develop suddenly following a particular event

Treatments

• Doctors typically recommend some or all of bed-rest, pain-killer, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs. In extreme case surgery may be necessary if the bulging disc does not naturally subside
• The benefits of Osteopathy in promoting the body's self-healing capabilities are particularly useful - especially in encouraging exercise as a means of managing the presence and/or intensity of sciatic pain

 

 

Osteopathy Tips - Making the most of your Osteopath visit

Good results don't just happen. In order for your osteopathy treatment to be a success you will need to be an active partner in your treatment - so to help ensure you get the most out of your visit to the Osteopath we have pulled together a 'Top Tips' list.

Prepare for your osteopathy appointment

It will increase your chances of leaving well-informed and satisfied. Write down your concerns or symptoms in advance, so you don't forget to talk about them. Also bring a list of all prescription and non-prescription medications you take, plus any vitamins or supplements. You may also want to jot down notes about your diet and exercise habits - factors important to your overall health not just your back pain or sports injury.

Wear appropriate clothing

If you are worried about stripping down to your underwear, bring along some exercise gear. Your Osteopath will need to be able to see and feel your back in order to treat you successfully.

Take notes

Bring a pad and pen to your Osteopath visit as you will certainly end your appointment discussing an osteopathy treatment programme for your back pain or sports injury.

If you have questions or concerns, speak up!

Your health is too important. Don't be embarrassed that you don't understand anything your Osteopath has said - ask that it be explained.

Educate yourself about your diagnosis and osteopathy treatment plan

If you are diagnosed with a specific kind of back injury do a little web research or borrow a book from the library. It never hurts to have a more thorough understanding of your condition or treatment.

Once you agree on a treatment plan, follow-through

Osteopaths help your body to heal itself. The exercises that your Osteopath asks you to do at home will be a vital part of the overall osteopathy treatment plan to relieve your pain or resolve your injury so you are mobile, active and pain-free as soon as possible.

Do not ignore the lifestyle issues which may contribute to your susceptibility to back pain

Many of the root causes of back pain are lifestyle related. In particular increasingly sedentary work and recreational practices and long hours at the computer are frequently found to be contributory causes of back pain and increase the likelihood of suffering a sports injury.

Osteopathy gains acceptance, but may be losing identity

When Dr. Nancy Nichols began her osteopathic practice 15 years ago, no hospital in her town of Mesa, Arizona, would grant her privileges. Today, she's welcome to practice at all of them.

To Nichols, that represents real progress for her profession. Long considered pseudo-doctors by the medical establishment, osteopathic doctors are in fact licensed physicians who can do surgery and prescribe drugs but have added training in manipulative therapy. It's the manipulation part of the practice that has earned them a reputation as "alternative" practitioners.

But only 6.2 percent of osteopathic physicians now practice manipulation on the majority of their patients, leading many to worry that their profession will soon have nothing that distinguishes D.O.s from M.D.s. "It's sort of like being the victim of our own success," says Dr. Eugene Oliveri, D.O., president of the American Osteopathic Association. The November 4, 1999 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine warned osteopaths that they are losing something valuable.

The journal reported a study by researchers at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center and the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine that compared osteopathic manipulation to treatment of the type practiced by orthopedists for low back pain. The researchers randomly assigned 178 patients to receive one or the other type of treatment. After 12 weeks, both groups of patients were equally satisfied with the care they received. The only significant difference was that the osteopathic patients used fewer drugs and paid less for their treatment.

In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Joel Howell, M.D., of the University of Michigan warned that the practice is in a "precarious position." "Today, osteopathic medicine has moved close to the mainstream -- close enough that in general it is no longer considered alternative medicine," he wrote. "The long-term survival of osteopathic medicine will depend on its ability to define itself as distinct from and yet still equivalent" to the medicine practiced by M.D.s.

Osteopathy was a concept of healing developed in 1864 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, a Kansas doctor whose conventional treatments failed to save his three children from spinal meningitis. Still came to believe that the body is capable of healing itself, and he developed a way to manipulate the spine and organs that he believed would allow for better blood flow, flushing out disease.

Marilyn Wagner is one patient who didn't need a peer-reviewed study to know that osteopathy works. The 63-year-old Berkeley, California, woman has a lifelong history of asthma and back problems from severe scoliosis (curvature) of the spine.

"When I got up in the morning, I would be bent double," Wagner says. "It would take a couple of hours before I straightened up." She had been to numerous medical doctors for her respiratory and back problems and had seen a chiropractor for her back without lasting effect.

Last year she started getting osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), the hands-on method that Still originated. Now she can stand up straight first thing in the morning, and she's eliminated at least half the asthma medicine she was taking. "All I know is that it works," she says.

Although fewer osteopathic physicians are practicing such manipulation, there are more osteopathic physicians than ever. The number of graduates of osteopathic medical schools has almost doubled, from 1,059 in 1980 to 2,009 in 1997, and the number of osteopathic medical schools has increased as well. One possible explanation: Its somewhat easier to be admitted to an osteopathic medical school than to a conventional one; so the demand for new osteopathic schools may be fueled partly by would-be M.D.s.

But a segment of osteopaths, like Dr. Viola Frymann in San Diego, California, steadfastly hews to hands-on treatment. There's an eight-month waiting list for new patients, some from as far as Japan, at her Osteopathic Center for Children. There, she specializes in treating severely disabled and brain-damaged children who were not helped by conventional medicine, often by gently manipulating plates in the skull. She attributes her success as much to the philosophy of osteopathy as to its techniques.

"The osteopathic approach toward health problems is the fundamental approach to health care, because it's looking at the dynamic unity of the whole person," she says. "It's not disease oriented. It's people oriented."

Incontinence Undergarments-Are They Really Useful?

by Chandrasekaran Rajamani under health

Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control resulting in involuntary urine leakage causing embarrassment and shame. It is often a temporary phenomenon affecting more women than men and can affect anybody any time. The symptoms can vary from mild leakage of urine to heavy wetting. It can be controlled and managed or can be eliminated completely if the underlying cause is removed.

The causes of urinary incontinence can be urinary tract infections, diabetes , medications, nervous disorders, multiple sclerosis and spinal chord damage. There are five types of urinary incontinence namely urge incontinence, stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, functional incontinence and total incontinence. This condition affects more women because the pelvic muscles are strained and become weak due to pregnancy or child birth. The hormonal changes during menopause may also be the cause. It can also happen due to prostate issues or the side effects of prostate surgery.

Urge incontinence starts with overactive bladder wherein you have the need to urinate too often. When muscles around the urethra in women contract suddenly there is sudden urge to urinate and the leakage occurs. The urge incontinence happens due to loss of bladder control because of weak muscles. In this condition, the sudden urge to urinate is overwhelming and when you are unable to reach the bathroom in time, you end up wetting the dress.

Stress incontinence is the condition when small amount of leakage occurs when you suddenly sneeze or laugh or exert yourself. The muscles surrounding the urethra becomes weak and can not withstand stress and opens up leading to accidental leakage.

Injury to the spinal chord and diabetes can cause overflow incontinence. It occurs when small amounts of urine leak from the bladder which is always full. Men can have overflow incontinence because they are unable to empty the bladder fully due to enlarged prostate and when the bladder becomes full again, leakage occurs.

Hemorrhoids Causes

by Aneron Kepasil under health

Nobody knows the precise definition of a hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids have been thought of as being an abnormal mass in the anal area. They are present in everybody and are considered normal. Both men and women are known to be affected by them. It’s not considered a condition that affects only certain people. There is, however, a age range where they are known to occur. This age range is from fourty five years of age to sixty five years of age and only four percent of the population is affected by them. Hemorrhoids are mainly caused by hard stools, constipation and straining while using the toilet.

The first home treatment for the relief of hemorrhoids is applying a topical moisturizer. One of the common is dehydration, and applying a topical moisturizer can help ease the pain by rehydrating the skin on and around the hemorrhoid. Prior to applying a moisturizer, be sure the product is designed for the treatment of hemorrhoids. Other moisturizers could cause a stinging sensation or possibly infection.

A natural remedy for hemorrhoids is the inclusion of more fiber in the diet. It both prevents and cures the problem of hemorrhoids. Types of food that are high in fiber include grain products, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. These can be food items such as whole grain breads, dried peas and beans, almonds, avocado, and berries.

Another common and simple hemorrhoid home remedy is the application of ice and heat to shrink the hemorrhoid and encourage it to heal. Apply ice, such as a single ice cube, to the hemorrhoid or the anal area, for at 10 minutes every day. Then apply a moist, warm towel to the anal area for up to 20 minutes. This is best done after an aggravating bowel movement that has caused pain or irritation to the hemorrhoid.

There are a number of reasons that people get bleeding internal hemorrhoids. In the anal passage the formation of padding is normal, it is when this padding becomes enlarged that the hemorrhoid becomes a health problem. Some of the common causes for this enlargement can be the the extra stain put on the bowel when someone has a chronic problem with being constipated. They are also said to be a natural sign of aging
when the blood vessles in the anal passage are not working as well as they did when the body was young.

Calmovil is a product that is ingested to actually attack the root cause of hemorrhoids instead of simply masking their effects. The unique blend of several anti-blood clotting agents allows the swollen and damaged hemorrhoids to repair themselves naturally by removing the blockages that form within the anal area. These blockages are the cause of hemorrhoid flare up and Calmovil naturally removes them while promoting better circulatory flow to the afflicted area. There are other brands that use such ingredients as the bioflavanoids Rutin, Diosmin, and Hesperidin, that allow for the necessary clot bursting effect. However, they do not come in the same level of inclusion as Calmovil which has 240 mg of these. Further Calmovil is the only product on the market that contains the Nattokinase enzyme. This is a natural substance that promotes exceptional blood flow to help not only ease the pain of hemorrhoids but will actual help prevent their renewed occurrence.

Osteopathy and Pregnancy

Being pregnant is a unique and powerful life experience. It is a time which can, and should be enjoyed. During pregnancy the body undergoes immense physical, hormonal and emotional changes.

These changes occur over a relatively short space of time, and the body has to continually adapt to accommodate these changes. Up to 10 kilograms in weight of baby, placenta and fluids may be carried, putting a fair amount of physical strain on the body.

Many pregnant women find osteopathic treatment very helpful throughout their pregnancy for pain reduction and preparation for labour. As well as helping to reduce back, hip or leg pain, osteopathy can also assist the body in preparation for labour and delivery. 

A woman’s body is constantly changing during pregnancy.  The effects of hormonal softening of ligaments, the position of the growing baby, postural changes and increases in weight can put additional pressure on joints and muscles of the spine or pelvis. Osteopathic treatment can help to alleviate these stresses, and by ensuring that the movement of the pelvic girdle is balanced and the hormonal control of the labour is at an optimum, it can aid the process of labour and delivery.

Even before pregnancy, your osteopath can evaluate your body, paying particular attention to the spine and pelvis, to ensure that there are no pre-existing or underlying restrictions, which may cause problems further into the pregnancy. We would recommend a pre-conception osteopathic check up to help make sure your body will cope with the changes of pregnancy and help it to adapt as smoothly as possible.

A Few Institutional Treatments For Vitiligo To Consider

by Charles Brown under fitness

Vitiligo is a common condition in which the color pigment is lost in skin, resulting in white patches placed anywhere on the body including the hands, face, chest, or rectum. Even though there are now several widely respected treatments for vitiligo, these should not be considered as a cure. What they do is reduce the appearance of the patches so the patient can live more of a normal life.

The most common vitiligo treatment is the use of steroids creams. These can reduce the intensity of the patches somewhat, particularly if used when vitiligo is just beginning. Application of corticosteroid cream is a treatment that produces results over a long period of time, with at least 90 days of use prior to seeing any results. Monitoring of the skin during this sort of treatment by a determatologist is essential to check for the development of any unusual streaking which can cause a secondary appearance problem.

Another approach is to darken the white patches formed by vitiligo using ultraviolet therapy. After taking certain oral medicines for a period of time the patient is then subjected to a session of exposure to an ultraviolet lamp. It is important to avoid unsupervised sun exposure during the period of undergoing this procedure.

In another well-regarded therapy, psoralen is applied to the affected area, which is then then exposed to UV light until a pink color is seen. The aim is to have the pink area eventually fade and a more normal skin pigmentation appear.

Depigmentation therapy is another approach which tries to diminish the contrast between a vitiligo patch and the surrounding areas. It does so by attempting to reduce the pigment in those surrounding areas.

More drastic vitiligo treatment measures involve surgery, for such procedures as tattooing, skin grafts taken from the patient’s own skin and skin transplants aimed at helping all areas of the skin to achieve matching pigmentation.

Medical vitiligo treatment is not an option everyone chooses. In some cases a person can manage quite well by simply using special cosmetics to mask the pigmentation difference.

Will A Medifast Coupon Help You Lose Weight?

by Travis Tobin under weight loss

Everyone struggles with losing weight. Indeed, the weight loss industry seems to introduce a new diet, new exercise machine or new pill every year to help us with our struggle.

We all know that by decreasing the amount of calories we consume, we will lose weight. A while ago, I saw an expert on Tv give a simple formula for how many calories you need to sustain your current weight. If you do not exercise, men need 11 calories for every pound they weigh, and females need 10. By consuming less than this amount, or by exercising, you will lose weight.

But how many of us are studious about counting the exact number of calories we eat? Most people have a tendency to underestimate how much they are actually eating. How often do we remember to include a quick snack or a glass of milk into our calculations?. And unless you are measuring portions precisely, you will find that your estimates could be off a lot.

So how can we deal with problem? In my opinion, a program like Medifast is the answer. Medifast makes it easy to manage your calories since they send you meals that already have the correct portion size for you in order to lose weight. Most importantly, meals are easy to prepare and well-balanced nutritionally. Most meals can be prepared in just a few minutes.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots: See For Yourself

by Vance B. Olona under health

Fat Loss 4 Idiots has actually been a best-seller for a long period of time. Many have testified how it made wonders in their battle with the bulges. However, there has been a lot of buzz circulating recently claiming that it was actually a scam. How can something that worked for many people be considered a scam?

It has to be taken into account that not all slimming or weight loss procedures can be effective for everybody at the same time. Genetic dispositions and metabolism vary from one person to another. Hence, body reactions differ. Aside from physical disposition, each person’s psyche and level of discipline differ. Also, there are those who tend to interpret rather than take the instructions as they are given. Worst case would be when they deviate from the program by experimenting with different methods to pair with it.

Hence, even if the same intervention or program is introduced into the body, the reaction is different. One cannot expect to have the same result like that of others. Mental disposition and attitude also play a great role in determining the success of any diet/weight loss program. Self-discipline is vital in religiously following the instructions and regimen specified to achieve maximum results.

In consideration of the above mentioned factors, it is therefore not right to say that Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a total scam. It is highly recommended to review the program’s details and benefits before giving the verdict. What is more, the theory of calorie shifting diet is the running principle behind the program. This method encourages one to eat different amounts of calories on alternate days.

What is more, the practice of calorie shifting can be safe and may render effective results as long as the right food and right amount of calories are maintained regularly. One should do it correctly for the first time to avoid a yoyo effect in weight loss. It is also highly recommended to drink plenty of water and to couple the program with basic cardio exercises such as brisk walking, jogging and sport activities.

Low Back Pain

Back pain is very common problem and common cure.

Low Back Pain (LBP) - simple cure but not so simple to do.

Pain in the low back region is the most common muscular skeletal disorder of industrialised societies today and the number one cause of disability in persons under the age of 45.

The ABS in 2001 stated that about 819,000 Australians over age of 15 reported that LBP with sciatic leg and feet pain is "the most common long-term condition related to work and caused by an injury received at while at work.." Lumbar disc and joint injuries were the most prevalent of any work related injury.

What is the cause of LBP?

Regularly you can find there is a link between a persons current posture, work habits, home recreational activities on top of old childhood injuries. We find that by the time a person is working they have received numerous minor disc injuries while growing up. These are usually caused by regular childhood games, sports, falls and tumbles.

Pelvic Torsion Syndrome (PTS) would be, in our opinion, the most common underlying cause of LBP that leads to disc lesions and sciatica. Even a disc lesion has an underlying cause - this is the PTS.

Solution

The way to correct this is quite simple but does take some skill to accomplish it well. The cranial osteopathic approach (as well as some chiropractic) uses the cranial mechanism to find which way the pelvis is twisted. We then unwind this twist and - most of the pain is gone almost miraculously and with no relation to disc bulges or prolapsed.  However, sciatic pain due to disc herniation will inevitably require much more work if the bulge is pressing against the nerve.

What Is Slim Weight Patch And Its Benefits

by Kathy Jhones under health

The most common disorder found in recent times is Obesity. This is very frequently seen in many children. The major cause of this disorder is lack of exercise and results in becoming fat. There are many ways by which body weight can be reduced. People are trying out many methods depending upon the situations. When they find the result is null after doing all the methods slowly people get attracted towards diet pills or crash diet methods.
