HORMONE TREATMENT | CYPRUS | PAPHOS OSTEOPATHY ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC

Osteopathy Acupuncture in Action | Cyprus | Paphos | Limassol

HORMONE IMBALANCE | MENORRHAGIA, DYSMENORRHEA and DYSFUNCTIONAL UTERINE BLEEDING

Acupuncture began before 2500 BC in China and is now used all over the world to treat disease and pain, to improve general health, and even as an anesthetic. Metal needles are applied to certain points on the body, and the overall purpose of the treatment is to bring the (female principle) and (male principle) back into balance with one another.

A 18 year old patient presented to the clinic with a history of abnormal rhythm in their monthly cycle.

All pelvic examinations with Ultra-Sound were negative.

The patient complained of heavy painful periods, with clotting of the blood. The period of the bleed would last for seven days. She would also experience fluid retention and pain below the umbilical region.

Psycho-emotional state of the patient; Impatient, disappointed with herself, under stress, sad, anxious, holding stuff in, breathing problems, mood swings.

All these symptoms coincided with a road traffic accident a year ago, where the patient was hospitalised, in shock, suffering with amnesia.

Osteopathy and Acupuncture look specifically into the causation of symptomatology. There are a pluralism of factors that are involved in ‘driving a symptom pattern’, and it is in the body i.e. the musculo-skeletal structures where we find the root problem of the symptoms. In this case, there we many asymmetries and musculo-skeletal blocks of the cervical and thoraco-lumbar segments of the spine.

Treatment consisted of Osteopathic mobilisation of the lumbar spine to aid the outflow of the autonomic nervous system to the pelvic organs. Acupuncture was applied to regulate the neuro-endocrine system, to aid circulation, ease muscular cramps and reduce fluid retention. Osteopathic manipulation of the cervical spine to aid thyroid and parathyroid function as a mediator for hormone balance.

A 50 year old female patient attended the clinic with a history of losing temper, physically expressing rage, anger, despair, wanting to hit their head against the wall, crying a lot, stress. Their symptoms consisted of emotions building up, family friction, arguments, generally feeling like they do not know where to be or what to do. The patient is also going through the menopause.

Medication: Anti depressants 18-19 years. A history of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), stress in work.

The patient was diagnosed with chronic depression. X-rays revealed normal disc height between vertebral bodies and no spondylitis.

Treatment began with a conservative osteopathic and acupuncture re-alignment which helped to release pressure from the spine especially around the cervico-thoracic region.

Following treatment the patient felt better and more relaxed from the increased mobility and blood flow to the body periphery.

A treatment program will help to reduce the muscular rigidities that coincide with depression.

Proposed_Symptoms_of_ADHD

A patient attended the clinic with a historical diagnosis of ADHD. Their symptoms consisted of not seeing tasks through, being distracted, losing things, always searching for things, impulsive, high temper, impatient, invaded by thoughts.

The patient was diagnosed with ADHD 6 yrs ago and has been on medication since (METHYLPHENEDATE HYDROCHRLORIDE) two times per day, 90-72mg. This is a slow release medication. Medication created a generic anxiety over simple things, apprehensive, socially auqward. Inhibits appetite. Dehydrated.

Alongside with their psychiatrist, the treating ADHD with osteopathy and acupuncture allowed the patient to gradually diminish their medication to a point where they no longer require it. Today the patient can work better, and feels more relaxed, is far more social and happier, positive that they do not need to rely on their medication etc. Does not feel the need to alter oneself.

Stevenson is a corpsman with Combined Anti-Armor Team 2, Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 8. The U.S. Marines conduct frequent patrols through the area to show a presence and interact with the community to find ways to help the populace. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Nathan McCord/Released)

Case History: 69 year old female with hypochondriasis, depression, vertigo, claustrophobia, stress, sadness, no focus, insomnia, worry and agoraphobia.

Many disorders within the head region are found to stem from muscular and skeletal stiffness and asymmetries of the cervical spine, especially around the region of the upper vertebrae i.e. Atlantal-Axial joint. Gentle muscular release and Osteopathic adjustment of the neck helped reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo.

Both Osteopathy and Acupuncture can help to reduce the severity of psychosomatic distress, as these processes can manifest into all kinds of physical symptoms i.e. fear, panic attacks, nightmares, muscular rigidities, low self esteem, depression, anger issues, grief, low energy and breathing disorders. Osteopathy and Acupuncture can to help to release negative emotional and mental states. Wilhelm Reich (Student of Dr. Sigmund Freud, Vienna School of Psychoanalysis) clinically observed that it is possible to both access and manipulate the forces which drive the psyche through the body sensoria, and this he termed, the ‘biophysics of perception’. In therapy explore these Reichian principles within the framework of Osteopathic diagnosis and treatment. Acupuncture is also very effective in the treatment of psycho-emotional distress, where we utilise ‘Five Element’ principles in the diagnosis and treatment ofd the patient. Acupuncture can also restore harmony and balance within the emotions and the mind. There is hope!

PTSD (POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER), DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY DISORDERS.

Osteopathy and Acupuncture are very effective in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). According to Dr. Wilhelm Reich, the collective trauma of the ego i.e. a concussion of the psyche causes somatic defence mechanisms, neuroses, dysautonomias, and disassociation of mental/emotional drivers which create conflict within body movement and musculoskeletal patterns. The hypothesis of terms used as; “Flexibility of memory” (genetic memory) and “Hierarchy of memory stores”, and how they are situated in the body can be restored which lead to an improvement in mental health.

Five element Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help regulate the emotional state of the individual. So much so, that there are specific Acupuncture points which can be used to treat the psyche, alter mood, treat emotional pain, fear, hysteria and anger.

Whiplash Numbness Pain in Neck and Shoulders

Posted on by

Osteopathy in Paphos | Whiplash Clinic |

Today we treated a patient who presented with acute pain following a road traffic accident. Even though the patient was concerned over having a ‘slipped disc’, the X-Rays were normal.

The patient complained of neck pain, headaches and shooting pains in the shoulder, arm and hand. Numbness was also experienced.

As indicated in the diagram above, one can see the ‘mapping’ of pain or numbness that arises from when the nerves are irritated in the neck.

On examination there were palpable muscular fixations and rigidities. The muscle spasm and cramps within the neck were aggravating the spinal nerves.

Osteopathic treatment was applied to the cervical spine and the 1st rib was manipulated into position. Osteopathic massage and traction was applied to take the pressure off the nerves in the Brachial Plexus.

Acupuncture was used to calm and loosen the muscles.

Today a patient presented to the clinic with an acute onset of inflammation of the lumbar spine. The symptoms caused pain in the hip and leg. The X-Ray indicated a marked compression of the disc between L5/S1 and inflammation. On physical examination, this inflammation was an aggravation of a previous chronic long standing history of arthritis of the spine. The inflammation was centred around the Sacro-iliac area and L5/S1. Osteopathic treatment was aimed at reducing the inflammation, mobilisation of the spine and Acupuncture to reduce inflammation. The patient felt improvement after a few hours. The patient was given osteopathic exercises for homework.
