Osteopath Paphos | Limassol | Cyprus Acupuncture Clinic

Today we continued post rehabilitation Osteopathic therapy upon an elbow fracture that has been pinned. As you can see from the X-ray below, even though the pins have fixed the structural integrity of the bones, the patient was suffering from restriction in movement, loss of full range of motion and pain. Such restrictions and pain are normal following surgery. However, Osteopathic mobilisation and Osteopathic massage can help to reduce inflammation (swelling) around the joint, loosen the muscles around the joint and improve mobility. In the treatment, we achieved 30% increase in movement of the elbow. Pain was also reduced by over 50%. Osteopathic manipulation of the cervical spine was also beneficial to the elbow movement as it softened the muscles around the shoulders and improved overall mobility and most importantly ‘confidence’ in movement of the elbow. Acupuncture was also applied to help reduce swelling, pain and achieve relaxation within the patient.
