Osteomyology is a form of manipulative therapy used to treat a wide range of muscular-skeletal conditions including: Joint problems, neck, back and shoulder pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Peter McDonough is a highly qualified and experienced practitioner of osteomyology and a back pain consultant.
Peter now offers Acoustic Wave Therapy for the highly effective treatment of tendon-related pain.
Acoustic Wave Therapy can provide fast relief from pain of tennis elbow, shoulder tendonitis, heel and knee trauma and degenerative disorders. It can provide mobility restoration with no anathesia, no drugs and no side effects.
The beneficial effects of Acoustic Wave Therapy are widely known. Scientists recognise that shockwaves can trigger a variety of effective actions.
Dr A.J.W Clemens BA. MSc. Phd. DO developed Osteomyology back in 1992 after being requested to bring some semblance of order to an otherwise badly trained practitioner group in East Anglia.
Dr Clemens had trained in various Japanese reviving techniques (Kappo) and had also been involved in practicing different types of manual bodywork since 1964. He trained and graduated in Osteopathy and opened a thriving practice. After many conferences and seminars he quickly came to the conclusion that all of the varied treatment modalities could be combined to form a platform for the benefit and safe treatment of the public. Dr Clemens 7th Dan martial arts instructor had already achieved this idea in the field of martial arts training, where he had combined different styles and techniques to form an embryonic style of his own which produced some of the UK’s finest martial artists.
Osteomyology puts aside the usual tunnel vision of rigidly trained philosophies and allows the practitioner to switch seamlessly from one bodywork protocol to another even combining some methods together, this way the practitioner is never defeated as his armoury is limitless. Dr Clemens boasts that in his organisation there exists some of the greatest innovators and exponents of the healing arts. Osteomyology is not as most people are led to believe, a combination of other peoples favourite techniques, but a totally different protocol, a mingling and changing of the old, plus the new, to develop a form, up until now, undiscovered. The reason we combine modalities and reinvent, arises from our philosophy and belief in VITALISM. No one method is seen as a cure all, so this is our method of treating patients sympathetically, effectively, and above all, safely. As individual as each person is on this planet earth, so is the individuality of each and every Osteomyology Practitioner, thereby ensuring that patients are treated as individuals and not clones.
Releases more Substance P
One of these messenger substances is substance P, a pain mediator and growth factor. On the one hand, the release of substance P by shockwaves has an analgesic effect. On the other, it dilates the blood vessels, stimulates blood circulation and contributes to the formation of new bone tissue. NO (nitric oxide) also has a vasodilatory effect and plays an important role in angiogenesis. In short, when applied where pain occurs, we know why shockwaves produce an analgesic effect, increase blood circulation and facilitate the repair process.
Inhibits the Cox II Enzyme
By inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as COX II, shockwaves produce an anti-inflammatory effect. This weakens any inflammatory process.
Activates Cellular Defenses
By contributing to the release of free radicals, shockwaves help strengthen the body's endogenous cellular defense mechanisms to protect it from disease.
Hyperstimulates nerve fibres
Scientific studies also show that shockwaves act in another way. Overstimulating the nerve fibres blocks an increase in pain stimuli and therefore intensifies the analgesic effect (Gate Control Theory).
Peter started his career as a counsellor for the social services in the 1970s. In the 80s he toured america and canada with the world famous healer Don Greenbank, author of "A Healers Pathway" and other books on healing.
