Groin pain can be a tricky problem because the location of the pain can often be a poor indicator of where the issue originates. This can be further complicated if the problem becomes chronic (over about 3 months) as there can be an accumulation of different issues adding further layers of complexity. It is very important therefore that your Osteopath or manual therapist makes a clear diagnosis and works through the possible possibilities thoroughly.
The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) has just published guidelines this month, which reveal that one person in 50 people experience headaches as a result of overusing painkillers – which can reduce the medication’s effectiveness and cause further pain. It also recommends a number of treatment options, including the use of acupuncture, and highlights the importance of correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
As you may already know, your four air-filled chambers called sinuses are found in the frontal bones above your eyes, behind the upper nose, in the sphenoid bones behind your eyes and in your cheekbones. Their function is to humidify the air as it journeys to the lungs and trap bacteria in the mucus produced by the lymphatic membranes. This bacteria can then be removed from the sinuses by swallowing the mucus or pushing it out of the naval cavity.
Patients with low back pain may benefit from the treatment known as osteopathic manual therapy (OMT). A new study suggests that the technique leads to clinically significant short-term pain relief for this population of patients.
