🦴 Osteoporosis 🦴

Recently I had a patient who was hesitant to see me due to their diagnosis of Osteoporosis and a family member suggested it wouldn't be safe to treat. This post is to educate anyone who is unsure as to if Osteopaths can help with this.

Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mineral density, meaning the honeycomb structure that makes up your bones (trabeculae) is more porous and therefore more at risk of fractures.

Like any other living tissue bones want to be stimulated, so loading those tissues is going to really help, like walking or light resistance exercise. When we don't load them they begin to degrade and become brittle and this causes problems.

Osteopathy is a great and VERY safe way to be treated and educated about how to improve and may be reverse your condition. We would avoid certain techniques so not to create more damage or pain for the patient.

Practice makes improvement

Sometimes we get a bit lost in our training/ rehab/exercise where we stop seeing results

If like me you have fallen or fear falling into a rut this winter, remember this!

Kaizen is the philosophy of 1% improvement each day, small improvements lead to big changes, keep your end goal in mind and keep showing up

Osteopaths get back pain too

I have a manual job, it's quite physically demanding and then I come home to a 7 month old who loves to be picked up currently.

We all get aches and pains but having a way to assess and improve your movement is vital.

This assessment shows you how well you rotate or twist.
Try going a whole day without twisting (if you can't, you need to improve it).

Follow for more mobility and assessment tips and tricks 👍🏼

MOBILITY TRAINING 💪🏼

Proper mobility training is purposeful loaded range of motion. Not a rushed warm up or stretch.

You are trying to improve and articulate each joint so the system moves together not dodgy compensations.

If your joints move well, your muscle responds better to loading!

Just for pain?

ABSOLUTELY NOT 🚫

I have experience with personal training, diseases prevention, and holistic approaches to health. All of which help with stress, pain, lifestyle change, sleep, diet.... To name but a few.

Making subtle lifestyle changes like 1 hour a month for a massage to relax and de-stress, or be taught about the importance of not eating too late and swapping the TV for a book before bed, dramatically improves your sleep, are just SOME of the changes and osteopath can help YOU with today!

Tissue healing

What actually happens when I sprain my ankle/ pull a muscle/bulge a disc etc?

Bleeding - this happens immediately when structures are injured and the amount of bleeding depends on how vascular (how many blood vessels) are around that tissue.

Inflammation - this is clear up time. Inflammation is good (short term), it brings clear up cells (phagocytes) along with others to clear damaged cells and clot the hole left by the damage.

Proliferation - the rebuild. This is when cells migrate and differentiate into the cells needed e.g muscle/tendon/ ligament/ bone.

Remodelling - this can last for months and is the process of gaining function to those immature new cells to integrate them as part of the older tissue.

It's hugely important to know these steps as they are the reason exercise or moving the injured area helps it regain function, like a torn muscle that you gradually begin lifting with again.

The Benefits of Acupuncture 🪡

Medical acupuncture or dry needling as we know it is brilliant for lots of reasons.

⚡Stimulating the nervous system and releasing endorphins which actually as a natural pain relief

🩸Increased blood circulation by stimulating an inflammatory response by piercing the skin which in turn stimulates a repair process.

💪🏼Relieve muscle tension by stimulating local nerve endings and releasing tension in the part of muscle which control their length.

Think it might help with your aches or pain?

Neurons !

The messages travelling between your neurons can travel up to 120-150meters per second! This is why heat, pain and other sensations are so quickly felt.

However some sensations are perceived to the brain at different speeds due to the myelination of those neurons and as a safety feature for us to move away from those stimuli.
