Alternative Means for Managing Pain

Alternative Means for Managing Pain


MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE 1: PELVIS SACRUM LUMBAR

Muscle Energy Technique is one of the most effective and gentle manual techniques for the correction of somatic dysfunction. MET uses accurate assessment techniques to discover if a joint is stuck out of alignment. Then the practitioner positions the patient and asks for gentle resistance in such a way that the joint is brought back into alignment, and the tight muscle relaxed.

This technique can be incorporated easily into any treatment protocol, and is an excellent addition to any practice.

This beautifully produced DVD covers the pelvis, sacrum and lumbar spine. Specifically, this dvd includes corrections for a pelvis upslip, downslip, rotations, inflair and outflair and pubic bone dysfunctions. It also covers Sacral rotations, and unilateral flexion/extension dysfunctions. The lumbar section covers one or multiple vertebrae stuck in flexion or extensions. In addition to all this, there is also a section on using muscle energy to balance and relax all the muscles surrounding the hips

SWEDISH MASSAGE TECHNIQUE: THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS

By Michael Barney Johnson

Swedish Massage Technique: Therapeutic Applications provides a hands-on overview of a style of message that is particularly appropriate for physically active people-both as a method for enhancing physical (athletic) performance and as a way to help treat injuries. Avoiding extensive use of technical terms concerning the technique, the DVD looks at the five basic movements of Swedish massage: effleurage (long, generous circular strokes, as a rule); petrissage (the lifting and kneading of soft tissue); tapotement (any light or heavy percussive actions); friction (small, firm, and deep circular movements), and vibration (the lifting and shaking of individual muscles). The DVD explains and demonstrates the application of each of these movements on the major areas of the body. The DVD also includes cautionary remarks, as appropriate, concerning the various applications of the technique.

Among the topics covered:

  • Initial face-to-face encounter
  • Massaging the legs
  • Massaging the abdomen
  • Massaging the chest
  • Massaging the neck and shoulders
  • Massaging the arms
  • Massaging the back
  • Massaging problem or trouble spots
  • Cupping and chopping movements
  • Massaging the gluteals
  • Massaging the back of the legs

    ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES IN THE OR

    In this program, NewsHour's Paul Solman takes a lively look at the clinical trials of alternative therapies being conducted on surgery patients at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Other forms of complementary care being studied there include hypnotherapy, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and music therapy. Progressives call it a way to give the public what it wants - and a way to attract patients, as the effects of managed care heat up the competition between hospitals - while skeptics, including the Journal of the American Medical Association, have branded it quackery and chalk up any successful results to the placebo effect.

    MANAGING PAIN

    Pain is the constant companion of a growing number of Americans - aches and pains, gnawing pain, agonizing chronic pain, headaches, backaches, pain traceable to an injury or to something gone awry in the central nervous system. Pain can disrupt lifestyles, reduce productivity on the job, and drain the household budget. This program looks at what we are doing about pain, besides taking aspirin. Some doctors continue to brush it off, while others are staffing Pain Centers. The program also shows research on the nature of pain and its treatment, as well as such old (and still effective) standbys as massage.
