Hi Wellingtonians! Reg Osteopath Diego Polo here, if you’ve had a moment to read my profile on the City Osteopaths’ website, you will see that I’m from Rio, Brazil and that I moved to live in Wellington very recently!

​I would like to share two things with you that have really caught my attention in a positive way around here. The first one is the high percentage of people in Wellington, who regularly exercise. I would say that 90% of the clients I’ve already seen in our clinic, practice one or more types of sports and/or physical activities. For someone who has been working with professional and amateur athletes all my working life, that’s really amazing! Particularly because, alongside quality of sleep and nutrition, physical activity is essential to keeping us healthy and increasing our quality of life. The second one is the large number of cyclists there are in the city. I thought I was coming to the land of Rugby?! 
​

    In recent decades, a lot of research has been done with cycling athletes - both professional and amateur, to investigate questions related to competitiveness, performance and physiological responses of this sport. Another facet of the research focuses on the well-being and health status of these athletes. 
Picture
Much is now known about the injuries of the lower limbs that are common to cyclists and the presence of discomfort and risk of injury caused by pressure on the perineum/pelvic floor and genital area. Additionally, the risk of injuries of the spine, especially on the lower back and neck regions, are very common. The position on a road bike requires long periods of time in an unfavourable posture, with an aggressive flexion of the trunk and hips and extension of the cervical spine and head, in order to reduce drag forces and favour aerodynamics. The posture adopted by the cyclist will also be influenced by the length of the bicycle frame, the seat height, and the rise of the stem, as well as the height and width of the handlebars.
Picture
As a cyclist, you may have experienced one or more of the most common injuries of this sport. Some of these are:

1. Falls: Falls are probably the most common cause of injuries for cyclists. Falls can cause different types of injuries, from skin bruises, clavicle and wrist fractures, muscle strains and problems that can bring more serious disorders, such as concussion.

2. Knee Injuries: Different types of injuries can affect the cyclist's knee, causing pain in different regions of the joint. They are: patellar tendinopathies, pes anserinus tendinopathies, patellofemoral pain syndrome, caused by excessive use, shortening and/or imbalance of the different quadriceps muscle portions, which can lead to patellar chondropathies and in particular, Iliotibial Tract Syndrome, which often requires extra treatment, especially if the athlete continues to compete.

3. Hip and Groin pain: Pain in the hip and groin region can cause marked discomfort and significantly decrease an athletes' performance.

4. Low back pain: As already mentioned, the cyclist's posture in extreme lumbar and hip flexion will commonly generate pain in the lumbar region, either by a flexion strain on the intervertebral discs, or by an overload of the extensor musculature of the lumbar region, which can reduce the stability in the region, leading to possible muscle injuries and overload in other regions, such as the hips and pelvis. A sign of concern is when pain spreads through the lower limbs, such as radiation, numbness and muscle weakness. This can occur due to problems arising from the lumbar region itself or due to excessive tension in some muscles, which can compress peripheral nerves of the lower limbs.

5. Perineal pain: The perineal region, or pelvic floor, is a set of muscles located in the lowest portion of the pelvis, between the anus and the genital region, which has several important functions and carries several vital structures, such as nerves, arteries and veins. Prolonged posture in the sitting position on the saddle can favour the compression of these structures, leading to changes in sensitivity, such as numbness and tingling, in addition to pain itself. Paresthesia can extend to the scrotum and penis, in men, and labia majora in women. The type of saddle and bike adjustment have a considerable influence on the emergence of these symptoms.
​

6. Neck pain: As already mentioned, the cervical spine is always positioned in hyperextension during pedalling, especially the upper cervical spine. This positioning excessively strains the neck and shoulder muscles. The most affected muscles are the suboccipital muscles, which have a very important proprioceptive function, as they always act by making micro-adjustments in the positioning of the head so that we can keep our gaze horizontal. These muscles are among the most innervated in the body and they developed exponentially at the end of man's evolutionary process, when we adopted the bipedal posture and needed to keep our gaze horizontal to master the environment around us. For this reason, the cyclist's cervical posture can cause not only neck pain, but also headaches at the base of the skull and in the back of the eyes and forehead region.

​
Picture
7. Wrist pain and tingling in the hands: Occurs mainly when the cyclist keeps his hands on the handlebars for a very long time. In addition to overloading the various joints of the wrist and hand, there may be neurological compression, especially of the ulnar nerve, which can cause tingling, numbness and weakness in the fourth and fifth fingers of the hand. Rough terrain also exacerbates this condition, affecting mainly the median nerve and generating carpal tunnel syndrome. In this case, it is the first 4 fingers of the hand, including the thumb, that will present these neurological signs.

8. Shoulder pain: Can occur due to prolonged posture of the arms in internal rotation and flexion, which favours an impaction of the shoulder joint, which may facilitate the emergence of impingement syndrome, bursitis and tendinopathies arising from it.

9. Plantar Fasciitis: Although more common in runners, some cyclists also suffer from plantar fasciitis, characterised by pain and stiffness in the sole of the foot. This is mainly due to the use of inappropriate cycling shoes and excessive tension in the muscles of the sole of the foot and calf.
​

As we know, cycling has developed considerably in recent decades and there are several modalities, such as road biking, track biking, mountain biking, trail biking, cross biking and BMX, etc. The emergence of these pathologies may be associated with the type of modality you practise, but despite the variations in posture on the bike and the specific mechanism of each modality’s practice, all the above injuries can arise in any modality, as the principles of each one are very similar and have the main element in common, which is the bicycle!

Now, if you like to ride, you've most likely heard of, or used a Bike Fitting service. Simply put, the service offers careful adjustment of the bicycle for a specific cyclist, respecting all their physical characteristics to obtain greater comfort, performance and efficiency while pedalling. Having a Bike Fitting helps prevent injuries and facilitates an athlete's post-training and post-competition recovery. Currently, with the help of various software and computerised evaluations, the quality of Bike Fitting has grown exponentially and it is a good investment for those who are always riding.
Picture
But what about the role of Osteopathy in all this?
​

If you are a bike lover and want to keep riding with the best possible quality of life and performance, then what is important - if not even more important, than taking care of your bike, is taking care of your instrument to ride - your body! Think of it like this, before you make the investment in a Bike Fitting, where the bike will be all adjusted to your body with the help of technology, you ideally will have already had checked the muscle imbalances, the alignment of your joints and your body's ability to adapt to the effort required to cycle first. That is exactly how Osteopathy can help you.

Osteopathy is a science that aims to evaluate changes in mobility and in the quality of the tissues of your body, to help you find your balance and your best state of health, guaranteeing greater comfort, performance and quality of life, preventing injuries and facilitating the recovery from these, keeping you active and healthy to perform your pedalling. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) achieves this by improving the mobility of joints and other body tissues, balancing muscle and ligament tensions, improving vascularization and oxygenation of your muscles and different tissues, increasing your body balance and coordination, ensuring a better relationship between your Central Nervous System (CNS) and your locomotor apparatus, among other multiple benefits that will keep your body in the best possible state of health and preparedness to reap the best results of a Bike Fitting for you and your bike.

I strongly recommend that anyone who regularly likes to have a Bike Fitting done with their bike, should come for one or two treatment sessions first, at around ten and then three days before doing their Bike Fitting. That will really take your Bike Fitting to another level. If you are not worried about performance and just want to stay active and healthy, come to see your osteopath regularly, once every two to three weeks or even once a month. This will be incredibly beneficial for your health. Remember that prevention is the best treatment. 
See you at City Osteopaths, let’s work together!

Stress

2/23/2022

0 Comments

 
                                                    Stress - the omnipresent bane of our existence.
​ Most people would say they have it, though not everybody realises how much it affects their life.
This article will cover some of the physical aspects of stress, how it affects our body and mind and what you can do about it.

Stress in itself isn’t negative but helps us to act in a tough situation (fight or flight) and to evolve (eg. workouts). The body will have a physical reaction to stress regardless of the type of stressor (physical, mental, emotional). 
A stressor is an event that takes the body out of homeostasis (balance). The stress response strives to bring the body back to a state of homeostasis (bodily functions are in balance). Hormones are secreted in stress; mostly adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol. Adrenaline is secreted rapidly and the effect lasts only a short while.
Cortisol, on the other hand, is secreted more slowly but the effect lasts longer. These hormones help us to fight or run away from danger. They release energy from the body’s reserves. They help regulate the blood flow to the vital organs and the muscles. Energy is spared from ‘unnecessary functions’ like digestion, reproduction, growth and healing. Also pain perception is altered; often people don’t feel the pain before the situation calms down.
​When lasting for a short while, all this is very good for our survival. It isn’t until it becomes chronic that it becomes a problem
Picture
We as humans have a unique ability to cause ourselves stress with our thoughts. The body can’t distinguish psychological stressors from purely physical ones (“you have to run to survive”). And so a reaction that’s meant to last for a few minutes can last several days and weeks, which is not what Nature intended.
This causes the body to shift its attention away from important functions such as digestion, growth, recovery, reproduction etc. Symptoms such as tiredness, overwhelm, hair thinning, loss of libido, weight gain and poor sleep quality, are all signs of chronic stress. 

Also when we get stressed we tend to tense up, especially in the neck and shoulders. We start breathing more shallowly and lose our sense of safety, being on high alert (hyper-arousal).
This is nature's way of protecting the important structures and preparing us for a fight or flight, if possible, or freeze, if the fight or flight is not a viable option in the situation.
Because we often don’t get to run away from our stress inducing thoughts, the stress becomes chronic and so do the changes in our bodies, leading to neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, tension headaches and even migraines. In chronic stress the body doesn’t get a chance to relax or heal.
Also digestive problems such as being too loose or constipated, increase because the body is in constant sympathetic overdrive (fight or flight) which means it doesn’t use its energy for digestion (parasympathetic => rest and digest).

                                                   
​                                                      So what can you then do to help yourself?

Ideally, the best course of action is to reduce the stressors in your life, whether they be physical or mental. The second best is to have daily practises that alleviate the effects of stress.
Your attitude matters: is it anxiety or excitement? You can change how you relate to stress, and the differences in physical reactions come from how you interpret them: If you feel stress more as a threat than a positive challenge, it will increase your cortisol secretion.
Short bursts (up to a minute) of intense exercise help to reduce the levels of stress hormones and use up the energy released by the stress hormones in the body by mimicking running away from the danger. Walks in nature also help to ground us and stay more present, which reduces stress. Also, meditation and mindfulness exercises help you to stay in the present and reduce stress when practised regularly. You can start with just 3-5 minutes a day!
Picture
Picture
Deep breathing exercises and vagus nerve stimulation help to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest part of your body’s autonomic nervous system.

                                                    What can an osteopath do for you, to help with stress?
As osteopaths we treat the person as a whole, taking into consideration the physical, mental and emotional aspects. In addition to working on the tight muscles, we might suggest minor lifestyle changes and hacks for de-stressing, give recommendations for supplements and provide exercises to help you recover.
Cranial osteopathy is very beneficial in relaxing the body and restoring its energy, helping the body to calm to a state where it can once more heal itself.

In addition to treating the tight neck and back muscles which may be causing you pain and tension headaches, your osteopath can also work on your thoracic diaphragm to help you with deep breathing. This diaphragm tends to get tense if not used to its full capacity for deep breathing, and thus deep breathing can be challenging initially, although when done daily, or even several times a day, can produce very rewarding results.

If you’re ready to take control of your stress, get out of pain and be helped back to health, come and see our osteopaths at City Osteopaths for your individualised treatment plan to recover your health and feel really good again.

Hyperbaric Oxygen and Osteopathy for treatment of concussion in a seven year old child. A brief case study.

10/17/2016

0 Comments

 
This is an unusual case study as the child who fell is my daughter.  I was able to assess and treat her immediately. If your child falls and hits their head it is important to go immediately to your GP or Accident and Emergency for concussion/TBI assessment. Then once their condition is stable you may like to look at complementary treatment options.
​
A Brief Case Study: 
  • Seven year old girl fell 3.5 metres vertically onto her head in the April school holidays
  • Said she felt ‘sleepy’ at first (then yelled and cried loudly) 
  • Osteopathic assessment took place less than five minutes after the injury. The whole top of her head felt very slightly depressed and her cervical spine was side-bent to the left and locked. 
  • Neurologically all tests appeared clear.
  • Gentle treatment of the neck and head to assist normal range of motion and function of the membranous tissue of her cranium resulted in her feeling ‘fine’.
  • She was running around happy so there was no indication that she needed a CT scan.
  • However, two hours later during a walk up a hill she had a headache, so we suspected concussion and she went in the mild Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber. This works by reducing the oedema in the brain tissues and also supplies 5-7 times the usual amount of oxygen to the mitochondria of the neurones which enables more of them to start firing again. This quickly cleared the headache during the session.
  • She also had some symptoms involving feeling unusual anger and fatigue, also indicating a concussion
  • Daily osteopathic and mild hyperbaric oxygen sessions for  the next three days kept her feeling symptom free and six days after her fall she won her school’s year 3 and 4 cross country trial, even against the boys!
  • ​She has continued to be well now, one year on in April 2017.
Picture
This is the seven year old who was concussed, winning her years cross country race.
City Osteopaths and City Hyperbaric are well placed to help people of all ages, in conjunction with their concussion healthcare team. Our Reg Osteopaths are able to gently treat any neck, shoulder and back strains that may have occurred and the hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces brain oedema or swelling and provides the extra oxygen required by injured brain tissue to help the mitochondria to make the energy required to heal damaged or dormant tissue and help restore function.

Ideally, as in this case, we are able to treat the neck injury and concussion as soon as possible after medical assessment after the accident. We like to work in with the concussion care team to help your child make a full recovery. If the concussion occurred many years before it is probably going to take longer to improve or resolve. 

Below is some research for the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen in concussion for children:

“Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Severe Head Injury in Children” 
—Journal of Pediatric Neuroscience. 2012 Jan-April 7(1) 4-8 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3401652/
Conclusion: In children with traumatic brain injury, the addition of HBOT significantly improved outcome and quality of life and reduced risk of complications. Patients receiving HBOT were significantly better than the control group with decreased hospital stay, better Glasgow Coma Scale and drastic reduction in disability. 

“Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can improve Post Concussion Syndrome years after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury – Randomised Prospective Trial” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24260334
—PLoS One November 2013 10.137/journal.pone 0079995
Conclusion: Convincing results based on a crossover study, demonstrating that HBOT can induce neuroplasticity and significant brain function improvement in mild TBI patients with prolonged Post-Concussion-Syndrome at late chronic stage, years after injury.
The findings here bear the promises that HBOT can be effective in treating other brain impairments like PTSD or repairing radiation damage. It is reasonable to expect that HBOT can help slow down or even reverse metabolic disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Healing memory, fatigue and gut issues with Hyperbaric Oxygen. A Patient's Experience

9/24/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture

"At around 9 years old I had a head injury with concussion from an accident that left me with trauma symptoms."

This person came in to us at City Hyperbaric in Wellington, to see if Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be able to help her recover her health after many years of difficulty. This is her story which she kindly wrote down to help others learn more about what it can do.
​

"In the last decade I have lived with considerable stress and anxiety ...Now in my mid 50’s I have been noticing the impact of this on my physiology...symptoms just as adrenal fatigue, poor digestion, tendency to constipate, shallow breathing and decline in short term memory.

I am a single parent and my budget is extreme ..however with the sense that my health was deteriorating I decided to invest in a series of sessions of mild hyperbaric oxygen . 
PictureThe chamber room at City Hyperbaric
I had daily sessions for 12 days (minus Sundays) 
The first was a little uncomfortable for my ears, so I was guided through this and time was taken to gently equalise to the pressure... this discomfort rapidly decreased so by the 3rd session there was no sensation of pain during the equalising process.
After the first session I felt somewhat tired however slept deeper than usual that night. 

I used my time in the hyperbaric chamber to rest in a meditative way trusting the oxygen would stimulate healing in my system. It had the quality of a sacred space!
By the second session my constipation was alleviated and during the fortnight I had text book perfect bowel movements! It is now 8 weeks later and I have continued to have a daily or twice daily movement ...this is remarkable given over 4 decades of sluggish bowel. 
​

During the period of receiving the oxygen I noticed my breathing dramatically improve..with the breath going right down into the lower and back area of my lungs..this was wonderful to experience and has remained with me. I don’t believe I will ever lose this awareness now.
There was an internal sensation hard to describe...the image I had was of my cells plumping up especially in my face and in the cheeks. Many friends commented how well I looked ...and this sense of inner wellness has remained despite there being many challenges these last 2 months since my sessions. 

​
Picture
Red blood cells and blood plasma highly saturated with oxygen

Before the treatment I had some fear in my life around memory loss... and now I have almost forgotten I had such a fear!! I still am experiencing anxiety ...however have started a programme to retrain the Amygdala’s response to stress. I believe the hyperbaric sessions enabled me to have the energy to start this programme that will turn that deep seated pattern and stress loop around.

After my final hyperbaric session I received a Cranial Osteopathy session and we focused on the head injury. I received what had been a missing experience for me as a child at the time of the concussion ; that of receiving deep compassion and the injury acknowledged . I believe my system needed that quality and skill of holding to heal such a childhood trauma. I also believe that shift occurred in my structure so effortlessly because of the oxygen therapy. 

Picture
Gentle treatment supporting the membranes of the brain and head to help ease trauma

Lastly having the series of sessions has become a resource in my memory bank... when I imagine the experience of receiving the oxygen, it automatically brings me back to joy and wellbeing.

It did what I hoped, giving me a paradigm shift and huge lift in my healing journey. It also cleared a trauma I had carried for over 45 years.

Thank you City Osteopaths and City Hyperbaric for providing this wonderful therapy. I hope many people transform their health through access to the hyperbaric chamber."

Some research relevant to long standing concussion:


HBOT and Head Injury:
“Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Reduction of Secondary Brain Damage in Head Injury”
—Journal of Neurotrauma, 21:44-48. 2004 
Conclusion: Translational research of HBOT in a variety of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) models has shown neuroprotective effects
in the absence of increased oxygen toxicity. Recent clinical trials favour HBOT as promising safe therapeutic strategy for severe TBI patient. 


“Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can improve Post Concussion Syndrome years after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury – Randomised Prospective Trial” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24260334

Sebastian Tucker B.A.(Hons), B.Sc. (Hons) Ost. Reg. Osteopath, MONZ

Sebastian graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in the U.K. in 2006. Before coming to New Zealand in 2011 to join City Osteopaths, he worked in Liverpool and London advancing his cranial, visceral and pediatric osteopathy skills.  He has completed courses in advanced osteopathic technique.  He has assisted in teaching Paediatric care to post graduate osteopaths. Prior to studying Osteopathy he graduated with a degree in Theology.

Sebastian has spent time in Kenya treating orphaned children in the city and women and children of the Pokot tribe in the desert region.  He enjoys working with people of all ages and conditions from babies to the elderly.  He has particular skill in treating shoulder injuries and providing pre- and post-natal care for mothers and newborns.

With over ten years in full time Osteopathic practice, Sebastian has developed a gentle approach, easing back the layers of problems and compensations in his patients in order to reach and change the root cause of their condition whether that originates from stressors in the physical, mental or emotional.

"I have had long term back and shoulder pain. This has been totally fixed by my osteopath Sebastian in the last three weeks. A great change to my life and lifestyle.  Recommend the practice (City Osteopaths) to anyone." T.Lynch

"I have been having seeing Sebastian for the last few months, after suffering from neck, shoulder pain and stiffness and lower back stiffness and discomfort. Most of the pain and stiffness I was experiencing has disappeared and my overall posture has improved significantly. Sebastian has also recommended targeted exercises and magnesium and vitamin B all to assist with my overall recovery".
M. Mallet


"I have been seeing Sebastian, and I was a little skeptical initially. However he has helped mobilise my back and pelvis to a point I have never had so much movement in my life. He has been so kind and supportive in every way possible and made me feel comfortable at all times. I have urged so many others to book in and see him". 

Sarah, Wellington​
When you have had enough of being in pain and would like gentle treatment to help you feel better, call our lovely front desk staff on 04 4991439 to make an appointment or have Sebastian call you back or for more information please see our website www.cityosteopaths.co.nz
