Osteopathy:
What you can expect during treatment and afterward

Unmasking

When restrictions have been released the body takes a few days to integrate the changes that have occurred. Sometimes, especially with chronic conditions it is helpful to understand that, as you move around between treatments, other restriction patterns surface and their associated symptoms reveal themselves. This is called unmasking, and again, it is viewed as a positive change in the long range goal of optimal movement and health. The unmasking process most commonly occurs within the first three treatments, although with more complicated conditions it can reoccur throughout the healing process. To support these changes, avoid heavy exertion and insure adequate rest.

Injection Therapy

Injection of short acting local anesthetics such as 1% Lidocaine or Procaine into trigger points, scars, and acupuncture points, helps restore the regulation ability of the autonomic nervous system. Trigger points are localized areas of spasms in the muscles that can cause local and referred pain, chronically tight muscles and weakness. Besides pain, they adversely affect joint mobility, thus perpetuating structural blocks. With needling, one can expect some discomfort from the needle penetration, and a transient sharp pain when injecting scars or acupuncture areas. With trigger point injection, one will feel a twitch response as the trigger point is needled, along with either a brief pain referral, a body jerk, or a deep ache. The injected areas will often feel achy and tight afterwards. This lessens with moist heat, gentle stretching, and rest. On occasion, there can be bruising.

Homeopathic Remedies

Often included in the injections and taken orally, these complex homeopathic remedies support the detoxification process and aid in recovery by supporting organ function, activating the immune system, improving the utilization of nutrients by the body, and providing symptom relief without suppression.
