Deadlifts and disc herniation

I go to the gym two maybe three times a week. I recall a time I saw a young man doing what looked like a painful vertebral disc exploding move. He was doing what looked like a poor excuse of a Romanian deadlift. His friends were geering him on and I was praying to…

STRESS

By Divyakant Shukla

The Body’s Stress Response When you perceive a threat, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens, and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength and…

I am a keen weight trainer but kept on injuring my low back and hamstrings. This was brought on by faulty squatting technique.I was recommended to Dev by one of the members in the gym. He identified poor ankle flexibility to be the main cause of my symptoms.I was given a range of flexibility excercises. I feel a lot better now and pushing heavier than ever before.

Kenton osteopaths have proved to me that there are some great osteopaths out there.I have had two periods of treatment there and the results have been fantastic,restoring normality to my life.From diagnosis to treatment to everyday-life instruction,you will find that everything that has been done on your behalf will work effectively towards your recovery.I only need to recommend one osteopaths clinic to my friends and colleagues.

I suffered from intense period pains ever since I can remember. Acupuncture and structural analysis of my low back and pelvis, together with a correct diet was of enormous benefit. I would recommend Dev to anyone.

Thank you Dev. I remember I was doubled up in pain when we first met. I had chronic back pain to the point that I could not sit, let alone walk. I must have looked 90 years old. Hunched over and taking a log time to take each step. I tried osteopaths and chiropractors in the past. On one occasion I was left with severe pain after seeing someone else. I decide then to try something different. That is when I found Dev in the Yellow pages. My father in law drove me to see Dev for the first time and I immediately gained confidence that I found someone who knows what he is doing and know how to treat me. The reason being that he was NOT going to treat me. There was possiblity of a disc herniation and the muscles were in spasm. He told me that I was too bad to be treated and advised me self help at home to assist recovery. Once the severe symptoms settled, I would then receive treatment. He did not charge me. Dev was the first person to diagnose the actual condition and explained to me in a commonsense way. He immediately advised me not to sit for long periods as this was adding to my problem. I came back ater a few days and recieved a combination of Osteopathy and Acupuncture. THe healing process was rapid. From unable to sit or stand , I was able to get back to full activities within a week. It was incredible that I would have never thought of using Acupuncture for low back pain, but it was my "last resort" and things have been great since. Thanks a million Dev A Miller

Dev, Thanks a million
I was suffering from low back pain since 2007.Countless medication and GP referrals the pain did not subside.I was recommended to see Dev by a friend .He diagnosed a pelvic tilt caused by poor abdominal muscle and weak hamstring muscles from a previous injury.He not only corrected the tilt but also gave me a series of exercises to prevent the condition from returning. Dev's pleasant , easy going manner makes you comfortable to ask him anything.

I first came to see Dev two years ago with constant head aches. Upper vertebrae in the neck was leading to muscle tightness and irritating a nerve causing the headache. Acupuncture and osteopathy helped rid of my symptoms.I felt lively and full of energy. Now I see him twice a year and remain symptom free.
