Acupuncture, a practice originating in China over 5,000 years ago,
|
||||||
|
diverges from Western paradigms with its emphasis on holistic patterns
|
||||||
|
and relationships. The French Jesuits introduced acupuncture to Europe
|
||||||
|
in the 17th Century, but its reception was lukewarm due to the clash
|
||||||
|
between Eastern and Western worldviews. The effectiveness of acupuncture
|
||||||
|
was long backed by anecdotal evidence until 1976 when controlled
|
||||||
|
experiments started gaining ground. Today, at least 17 lines of evidence
|
||||||
|
underscore its impact.

Key developments include acupuncture's introduction to Europe by French
|
||||||
|
Jesuits in the 17th Century, where it struggled due to paradigm
|
||||||
|
differences. Its anecdotal effectiveness gave way to scientific scrutiny
|
||||||
|
around 1976, leading to numerous controlled experiments that affirmed
|
||||||
|
its pain-relieving effects. Acupuncture's basis lies in endorphin
|
||||||
|
release, with three main endorphin-releasing sites being identified.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Evidence supporting acupuncture includes experiments with endorphin
|
||||||
|
blockers, genetic factors, and physiological pathways. Acupuncture's
|
||||||
|
efficacy stands at approximately 70-80%, with notable outcomes in pain
|
||||||
|
relief, addiction treatment, gastrointestinal disorders, and more.
|
||||||
|
Across the world, its integration into modern medical practices gained
|
||||||
|
traction over time, with many physicians incorporating it into their
|
||||||
|
treatments.

EarAcupuncture

<p>
|

|
Auriculotherapy utilizes the external ear's auricle to alleviate pain,
|
||||||
|
dysfunction, and diseases throughout the body. The ear's auricle is a
|
||||||
|
complete microsystem representing over 200 acupuncture points related to
|
||||||
|
vertebrae, nerves, organs, and the central nervous system. Dr. Paul
|
||||||
|
Nogier of France developed the concept of somatic tropic correspondence
|
||||||
|
in the auricle, building upon ancient Chinese acupuncture practices.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Auriculotherapy gained scientific validation through studies like the
|
||||||
|
1980 research by Abbot et al., showing endorphinogenic response. Dr.
|
||||||
|
Nogier's concept of embryological tissue types and hormonal basis formed
|
||||||
|
the foundation for understanding auricular points' somatotopic
|
||||||
|
functions. Auriculotherapy's efficacy in pain relief and natural healing
|
||||||
|
is demonstrated through increased skin conductivity and Vascular
|
||||||
|
Autonomic Signal (VAS) response.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Both body acupuncture and auriculotherapy facilitate natural healing,
|
||||||
|
with auricular therapy becoming increasingly recognized for its
|
||||||
|
diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Although the practice originated
|
||||||
|
in China, Dr. Nogier's work and further research revolutionized
|
||||||
|
auriculotherapy, making it a powerful tool in modern healthcare.

In 1973, Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto introduced Yamamoto New Scalp
|
||||||
|
Acupuncture (YNSA) in Miyazaki, Japan. Unlike traditional Chinese
|
||||||
|
acupuncture, YNSA is a diagnostic and interactive treatment system
|
||||||
|
designed to alleviate somatic and visceral pain and balance Qi.
|
||||||
|
Particularly effective for neurological disorders, YNSA has been used to
|
||||||
|
treat conditions like post-CVA, paralysis, aphasia, and more.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
YNSA employs a distinctive neck diagnostic method, developed by Dr.
|
||||||
|
Yamamoto, to determine meridian dysfunction's Yin/Yang and left/right
|
||||||
|
aspects. Immediate feedback from acupuncture needle placement aids
|
||||||
|
accurate diagnosis and treatment. I witnessed Dr. Yamamoto's success
|
||||||
|
firsthand during hospital rounds, where he achieved notable improvements
|
||||||
|
in stroke patients using minimal scalp needle placements.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This approach's efficacy has led Dr. Feely to integrate Dr. Yamamoto's methods
|
||||||
|
into his own practice, successfully addressing chronic and injury-related
|
||||||
|
symptoms. The technique's unique diagnostic process and interactive
|
||||||
|
nature contribute to its success in treating neurological conditions and
|
||||||
|
enhancing patients' well-being.

||||||
|
In the 1980’s the idea of including exercise as part of a treatment plan
|
||||||
|
was seen as a radical approach to the management of arthritis.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Marion Minor, PhD, thought otherwise. In 1989 she conducted a study with
|
||||||
|
120 arthritic patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The
|
||||||
|
patients were randomly assigned to aerobic walking, aerobic aquatics, or
|
||||||
|
to a control group of nonaerobic range of motion exercises. The duration
|
||||||
|
of the study was for 12 weeks.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The results showed that the aquatics and walking exercise groups showed
|
||||||
|
significant improvement over the control group in their capacitiy to do
|
||||||
|
aerobics, 50-foot walking time, depression, anxiety, and physical
|
||||||
|
activity after the 12-week program.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
“Participants said that they were gaining back control on their lives,
|
||||||
|
and not subject to the whim of the disease,” Minor said. “This provides
|
||||||
|
a good prototype for self-management and problem-solving, the types of
|
||||||
|
things that can further improve the condition of people with arthritis.”
|
||||||
|
(1)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Around the same time in Denmark researchers were also looking into
|
||||||
|
physical training as a way of helping rheumatoid arthritis patients.
|
||||||
|
They looked at a graduated exercises going from 2 times per week of
|
||||||
|
aerobics and strengthening exercises to eventually progressing to
|
||||||
|
strenuous exercises over an 8-week period.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The results were encouraging in this study also. The patients had
|
||||||
|
significantly fewer swollen joints than before. Exercising the muscles
|
||||||
|
of the swollen joints resulted in more than a 35% decrease in the number
|
||||||
|
of swollen joints. (2) The Denmark study showed that improving muscle
|
||||||
|
strength also improved the affected joint. This was further confirmed in
|
||||||
|
other studies.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
One particular study looked at the effect of strengthening the knee
|
||||||
|
muscles of patients with arthritis of the knee joint. In this trial 20
|
||||||
|
volunteers with knee joint arthritis were randomly assigned to a
|
||||||
|
treatment group (10 people) or to a control group (10 people). The
|
||||||
|
treatment group completed six sets of five strong contractions three
|
||||||
|
times per week for a period of 8 weeks.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
At the end of the study the treatment group as compared to the control
|
||||||
|
group showed a a significant decrease in pain and stiffness and a
|
||||||
|
significant increase in the ability to move. There was also a
|
||||||
|
significant decline in the Osteoarthritis Screening Index and the
|
||||||
|
Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale. (3)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Other areas of exercise therapy for arthritis have also been
|
||||||
|
investigated. One such area was to determine whether high or low
|
||||||
|
intensity exercises were more effective.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
100 patients with moderately severe rheumatoid arthritis were randomly
|
||||||
|
assigned to (a) intensive group exercises that included full weight
|
||||||
|
bearing and also conditioning exercises on a stationary bike; (b) range
|
||||||
|
of motion exercises and isometric exercises group; (c) individual
|
||||||
|
isometric and range of motion; and (d) home instructions for isometric
|
||||||
|
and range of motion exercises. The study ran for 12 weeks.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
There was about a 17% increase in aerobic capacity strength and joint
|
||||||
|
mobility in the high intensity exercise as compared to the other
|
||||||
|
exercise groups. When the patients stopped their exercise training
|
||||||
|
whatever gains they had achieved in physical capacity disappeared.(4)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
|
||||||
|
researchers looked at whether a structured exercise program would help
|
||||||
|
older people with arthritis of the knee. 439 adults, aged 60 or older,
|
||||||
|
took part in either an aerobic exercise program, a resistance exercise
|
||||||
|
program, and a health education program. 83% of the people completed the
|
||||||
|
18 month study.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The results showed that the aerobic exercise group had 10% lower scores
|
||||||
|
on the physical disability questionnaire, a 12% lower score on the knee
|
||||||
|
pain questionnaire, improved performance on the 6-minute walk test, and
|
||||||
|
also had improved the time it took to carry 10 pounds as compared to the
|
||||||
|
health education group. The resistance exercise group also showed
|
||||||
|
improvements but not as good as the aerobic exercise group. (5)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Even though exercise is now considered standard treatment for arthritis
|
||||||
|
it is not widely prescribed. In a study involving 110 elderly persons
|
||||||
|
with chronic hip and knee pain, fewer than half had received the medical
|
||||||
|
advice to exercise. Arthritis specialists did much better in prescribing
|
||||||
|
exercise than the primary care physician. Further, those patients who
|
||||||
|
were told to exercise by their physician were making an attempt to do so
|
||||||
|
but only 10% were doing the exercises in a way that would be
|
||||||
|
therapeutic. (6)

If you are tired and fatigued and if your muscles ache all over, you may
|
||||||
|
suffer from fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), which is characterized by
|
||||||
|
widespread pain and tenderness at specific points on certain muscle
|
||||||
|
groups (joints are not usually involved). Symptoms most often come from
|
||||||
|
hip, back, shoulder and neck muscles and usually arise gradually, often
|
||||||
|
following a sprain, strain, whiplash, or other trauma. Some patients
|
||||||
|
report FMS symptom onset following viral or bacterial infection. Many
|
||||||
|
sufferers say it feels like they have the flu all the time.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
FMS remains a painful and poorly understood condition. There is no
|
||||||
|
single cause. It seems to strike women between the ages of 20 and 50
|
||||||
|
(about 25 percent of those with FMS are men), and there is no single
|
||||||
|
treatment that is effective for every person. The signs and symptoms
|
||||||
|
include fatigue, chronic muscle ache, sleep disturbance, anxiety,
|
||||||
|
tenderness at specific muscle points, morning stiffness, intestinal
|
||||||
|
complaints, and shortness of breath.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
There are no laboratory tests that can confirm a diagnosis of FMS.
|
||||||
|
However, some practitioners of holistic medicine may order functional
|
||||||
|
tests to determine if a metabolic imbalance is the source of muscle pain
|
||||||
|
and fatigue. There are no generally effective medical treatments,
|
||||||
|
either. However, aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin and other medications
|
||||||
|
have been effectively used to relieve musculoskeletal pain, and the
|
||||||
|
antidepressant Elavil has been helpful for some FMS patients.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
What can be said is that recovery from FMS requires an integrated
|
||||||
|
approach that includes nutrition, diet therapy, mind/body work,
|
||||||
|
medication in some cases, exercise, lifestyle modification, acupuncture,
|
||||||
|
osteopathic manipulation and other modalities provided by a team
|
||||||
|
approach with different professionals working together.

|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Coccydynia, or pain of the coccyx (tailbone), is a common
|
||||||
|
musculoskeletal ailment. The tailbone, though rarely thought of during
|
||||||
|
the day, plays a key role in a person’s posture and ability to sit. It,
|
||||||
|
along with a person’s hip bones, bears the entire weight of the body
|
||||||
|
when someone sits. It is located at the very bottom of the spine. It
|
||||||
|
consists of three to five vertebral segments, interconnected by small
|
||||||
|
discs or fibrocartilaginous joints. It is common for some or all of
|
||||||
|
these to become fused as one ages.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Common causes of coccydynia include:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Direct trauma to the tail bone. This would include a fall on the ice
|
||||||
|
or pavement.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Repetitive minor trauma to the tail bone. This occurs during periods
|
||||||
|
of prolonged sitting on firm surfaces; including airline/car seats,
|
||||||
|
bicycle seats, or the ground.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Injury to the tail bone during childbirth. Prolonged births,
|
||||||
|
mispositioned babies, or use of forceps can worsen the immense
|
||||||
|
pressure applied to the coccyx during birth.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Posterior bone spur on the tailbone or osteoarthritis. Years of poor
|
||||||
|
posture, obesity, or repetitive trauma can lead to the production of
|
||||||
|
bone spurs or loss of joint space between the coccygeal joints.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Mainstream medical treatment of coccydynia includes conservative
|
||||||
|
treatment with seat cushions, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory pain
|
||||||
|
medications, and heat or ice. In patients who experience discomfort for
|
||||||
|
greater than 2 months, local injections at the site, pelvic floor
|
||||||
|
physical therapy, and chronic pain medications are options for
|
||||||
|
treatment. The most extreme treatment is complete surgical resection of
|
||||||
|
the coccyx.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
At the Feely Center for Optimal Health our first line treatment includes
|
||||||
|
same day hands on treatment to resolve the patient’s pain and
|
||||||
|
misalignment of the tailbone. This saves our patients from months of
|
||||||
|
discomfort, the hassle of multiple doctor office visits, and the use of
|
||||||
|
unnecessary medications and expense. As an example of our success in
|
||||||
|
treating this disease with Osteopathic manipulation; see the below case
|
||||||
|
of a recent patient treated at the Center.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
A 32-year-old female presented to the Center due to 5 months of
|
||||||
|
progressing tailbone pain. Pain started 2 months after delivery of her
|
||||||
|
first child. The baby boy was born via C- section after a failed
|
||||||
|
induction. She experienced a long labor without cervical dilation due to
|
||||||
|
misalignment of the baby. She did not experience any tailbone pain
|
||||||
|
directly after birth, however, she noticed a mild ache develop 2 months
|
||||||
|
after delivery at the very tip of her tailbone. Her pain was worsened
|
||||||
|
during long periods of rocking and nursing several hours a day in a
|
||||||
|
glider at home. Severe pain occurred two weeks prior to presentation
|
||||||
|
when she bent down to pick up her baby from the ground. Since that event
|
||||||
|
she has had significant pain when sitting, greatly affecting her life.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
After a complete physical exam ensuring there were no life-threatening
|
||||||
|
disease processes causing her pain, osteopathic manipulation was
|
||||||
|
performed. She was instructed to place herself in specific positions
|
||||||
|
which allowed key muscles and ligaments to relax. Dr. Feely utilized
|
||||||
|
counterstrain Osteopathic techniques while the patient was lying on her
|
||||||
|
stomach that completely resolved her pain. Using muscle energy and
|
||||||
|
myofascial release techniques the bones of her spine, hips, and tailbone
|
||||||
|
were moved into correct alignment, contributing to completing and
|
||||||
|
maintaining her pain free state. Thus, she easily tolerated sitting
|
||||||
|
directly on her tailbone, something she had not experienced in 5 months.

<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>1. SHOCK:</strong> The initial stage of grief is usually
|
||||||
|
experienced even if the death has been expected, as in a long terminal
|
||||||
|
illness. There is only so much physical or psychic pain which can be
|
||||||
|
endured by the mind, and when that limit is reached, the mental
|
||||||
|
/emotional system shuts down. There is often denial that can last for
|
||||||
|
quite some time. This is expressed as “numbness,” or as a sense of
|
||||||
|
unreality.
|
||||||
|

||||||

||||||

<div className="flex justify-center">

<Image src={griefPic} alt="Woman in grief" />
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>2. EMOTIONAL RELEASE:</strong> As the shock wears off, there is
|
||||||
|
a need to release all the emotions that have been building up. This
|
||||||
|
release may be verbal or physical, and while this is healthy, care
|
||||||
|
should be taken to ensure the safety of the individual, others, or
|
||||||
|
personal property. Some hospitals have recognized this stage of grief
|
||||||
|
and have provided special “screaming rooms” where these powerful
|
||||||
|
emotions can be safely vented.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>3. DEPRESSION:</strong> There are often feelings of loneliness
|
||||||
|
and utter isolation that come with depression. The feeling of “there is
|
||||||
|
no help for me,” is normal and very common. There is a push/pull
|
||||||
|
situation, wanting to be alone and yet feeling a need for people at the
|
||||||
|
same time. This frequently produces fears of panic and impending
|
||||||
|
insanity.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>4. PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS OF DISTRESS:</strong> The grieving
|
||||||
|
individual will often take on the physical symptoms of the illness that
|
||||||
|
caused the death of the loved one. In the event of an accident, the
|
||||||
|
bereaved will sometimes feel pressure in the chest or have stomach
|
||||||
|
problems, and fear heart attack or cancer. This is normal and usually
|
||||||
|
indicates the depth of the loss and the person wishing to “join” the
|
||||||
|
deceased.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>5. ANXIETY: </strong>A common response to loss is for the
|
||||||
|
bereaved to experience vivid dreams of the deceased, so vivid that they
|
||||||
|
believe they have actually seen or heard their loved one. Another common
|
||||||
|
manifestation is that the bereaved will mistake another person for the
|
||||||
|
deceased, usually on the street or in a store. This will sometimes cause
|
||||||
|
great embarrassment as they may address the stranger, only to realize
|
||||||
|
their mistake.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>6. HOSTILITY: </strong>When a loved one has died, it is very
|
||||||
|
common for the survivor to feel anger at those who were involved in the
|
||||||
|
situation, especially medical personnel and clergy. There is a feeling
|
||||||
|
of “Why didn’t you do more?” God is a frequent target for this rage,
|
||||||
|
which many people have a difficult time accepting.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>7. GULT:</strong> This emotion can be imaginary or exaggerated,
|
||||||
|
but should not be ignored. Following the death, it is a common
|
||||||
|
experience for the survivor to remember only the negative aspects of the
|
||||||
|
relationship, those times of insensitivity or harsh words spoken in
|
||||||
|
anger. Seldom does the bereaved pause and remember the beautiful times
|
||||||
|
when all the love and tenderness were evident.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>8. HESITANCY TO RENEW NORMAL ACTIVITIES:</strong> There is often
|
||||||
|
a fear of returning to the regular routine of living. This fear takes
|
||||||
|
several aspects. There is concern about how people will respond to the
|
||||||
|
bereaved; there is a desire to talk about the deceased but a fear of
|
||||||
|
rejection; there is a pain that comes with hearing that “special” song,
|
||||||
|
or seeing something in a store that brings back the memory of the loved
|
||||||
|
one.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>9. HEALING OF MEMORIES:</strong> There is a slow realization
|
||||||
|
that the painful memories are part of the healing process and must be
|
||||||
|
integrated into the life of the bereaved. It is a time of reaching out,
|
||||||
|
however tentatively, to embrace fully all that has happened and to
|
||||||
|
accept that life must change if it is to continue. The memories become
|
||||||
|
less frightening, and the sky a bit brighter as the bereaved begins to
|
||||||
|
face the world with more and more confidence.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>10. ACCEPTANCE OF ONE’S NEW ROLE IN LIFE:</strong> Loss brings
|
||||||
|
about changes. Whether it is the resumption of single life after years
|
||||||
|
of marriage, or going on through the years without a parent, there must
|
||||||
|
be the realization that a new role is to be accepted and lived. The
|
||||||
|
cycle of life continues, and the bereaved can finally shed the cloak of
|
||||||
|
grief and take on the robe of peace and renewal.
