depressed-810x540

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.

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.
