Degenerative Disc Disease

Jun 21, 2011   //   by David   //   Company News  //  No Comments

Degenerative Disc Disease is one of the most common origins of low back pain. The discs are fibrous shock absorbers between the vertebrae of the human back. Degenerative Disc Disease is in point of fact a natural element of the ageing process, however some people’s discs age quicker than others, and some unfortunate people build up soreness with the condition. Degenerative Disc Disease can be treated and managed and all patients should be urged to exercise the back to give it vigour and steadily diminish the requirement for pain killers and other drug-based pain relief.
Many patients believe that Degenerative Disc Disease will persist and that the pain will exacerbate with time however the reality is that symptoms from Degenerative Disc Disease do not inevitably worsen and from time to time the symptoms can get better with the march of time. First-class back care and awareness is vital; as is contact with a well-trained and experienced Osteopath.
Surgery or spinal injections can also be considered for patients with severe Degenerative Disc Disease however this course of action is merely considered as a last alternative.
Degenerative Disc Disease may be helped by:

• Osteopathic treatments.
• Exercising.
• Pain medication.
• Weight loss (if the patient is overweight to start with).
• An improved overall posture.

 

The Canevaro Clinics in London are clinics where Osteopath & Pilates instructor David Canevaro practices. If you suffer from Degenerative Disc Disease then you should call David on 03333 704426. His clinics are based in East London at Spitalfields, Canary Wharf & in Brockley and are easily reached by train and public transport from within London and the Home Counties.

Osteolates

Jun 14, 2011   //   by David   //   Company News  //  No Comments

Combine Osteopathy and Pilates and what do you get? Osteolates.

Osteolates is the creation of renowned Osteopath and Pilates instructor David Canevaro who runs three clinics across East London (Spitalfields, Canary Wharf and Brockley).

David is a qualified Osteopath, Rehabilitation Pilates instructor and Sports Therapist who has extensive experience working with a vast range of clients in a number of outstanding health clubs, Physiotherapist and Osteopathic clinics in London.

Osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function and recognizes the body’s ability to heal itself; it is the role of the osteopathic practitioner to facilitate that process.

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates called his method Contrology because he believed that his method uses the mind to control the muscles. The Pilates method seeks to increase the strength, flexibility and control of the body. Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength, endurance, and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back.

Combine the two and you have Osteolates.

Canevaro says, “Osteolates allows the osteopath to build on their wide range of assessment and diagnostic skills, adding a new dimension by incorporating a dynamic assessment of the patient’s injuries to help diagnose and treat problems more accurately.”

Pregnancy Pilates London

Many women want to continue exercising during pregnancy, but are concerned that physical effort could cause harm to themselves and their unborn baby.

Benefits Of Pilates During Pregnancy

Pilates is a gentle form of exercise and and for this reason it is considered one of the best forms of exercise for a pregnant woman.

Pilates can help maintain and improve the strength of both your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, it is not only a safe form of exercise while pregnant, it can also help you doring your labour.

Many women first attend Pilates classes during pregnancy or in post natal recovery.

Classical pilates exercises can be adapted at each stage of pregnancy to allow for gentler or more focused exercise, but should stop if any discomfort is experienced.

The right type of pilates should not cause strain on the joints or lower back. In fact the back should be strengthened as will the stomach and muscles around the pelvic area – allowing for an easier pregnancy, delivery and recovery.

David Canevaro with his experience can help with reducing any back or joint problems associated with pregnancy.

London pilates and osteopath London are also locations in which to find David. Central London osteopathy andcentral London pilates are also good locations.

Acute lower back pain

Jun 6, 2011   //   by David   //   Company News  //  No Comments

Acute immobilising lower back pain
Approximately 80% of people between the ages of 20 and 60 will suffer at least one episode of acute lower back pain. In most cases there is little to worry about as no serious cause is behind this. A session of osteopathic treatment will normally speed patients back to normal movementa and function. In a small number of cases the underlying cause of the back pain is serious and a referral may be necessary for injections or surgery.

Causes of lower back pain:
Can be set-off by almost any bending movement such as picking up a dropped pen, turning to reach something, or the jolt from missing a step

The root cause is typically a mix between weakness and stiffness usually combined with an underlying disc instability which is inadvertently triggered by an unexpected event
Pain and lack of mobility is caused by muscle spasm which are part of your body’s defence mechanism
Treatments
An ice-pack may help at the acute stage
Anti-inflammatory drugs and pain-killers will probably be prescribed by your GP.
Once the spasm begins to ease, osteopathic massage and manipulation will typically be very helpful in restoring mobility and reducing pain more quickly than the bed-rest often recommended by GPs
The exercise programmes your Osteopath recommends are important to ensuring that the underlying instability which caused the problem is addressed and the injury does not recur.

The Canevaro Clinics

Jun 2, 2011   //   by David   //   Company News  //  No Comments

Whether we lead a sedentary life or regularly exercise with sport or keep-fit, we are all prone to strain and injury of the body’s musculoskeletal structure.  Problems such as muscular aches, a frozen shoulder, sciatica, repetitive strain injury etc. cause pain, restrict movement and mobility and even a minor sprain inhibits the body’s natural flow of energy and can adversely affect performance in our daily lives.

Osteopathy is an acknowledged, holistic system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, recognising that much of the pain and disability that we suffer can be caused by abnormalities and malfunction of the body rather than illness.

Your first visit will consist of a consultation when he will establish a full medical history, followed by an examination, during which you will be asked to perform a series of gentle movements; then using his special touch-sensitive technique of palpation, he will pinpoint any problems or places of weakness in the body.  He will then formulate a personalised treatment plan.
