Taking Control of Your Pain
Time to take a different look at pain!
Osteopath Simon Chafer’s new book entitled, ‘Taking Control of Your Pain – Managing Your Pain Effectively & Holistically’, aims to help people who suffer from long term pain to take back control of their lives by looking at the causes of pain from a different standpoint.
In his role as lecture at the London School of Osteopathy he has been sharing his expert knowledge regarding pain and the holistic techniques to provide pain relief based on scientific findings for many years.
Osteopaths can now support DVLA medical applications
A change in the law now means that healthcare professions including osteopaths can complete DVLA medical questionnaires following notification of a medical condition that may affect an individual’s driving. Prior to the change to the Road Traffic Act only doctors were able to complete the forms.
The change aims to speed up elements of the medical licencing process and reducing the burden on doctors. The inclusion of osteopaths in the change also recognises the value of osteopaths and the extensive medical training that is required to become a registered osteopath in the UK.

Osteopaths may help to support medical licensing applications
Measures have been brought forward to change the law to allow more healthcare professionals such as specialist nurses, opticians and osteopaths to complete DVLA medical questionnaires. This action will help speed up the return of medical information needed to make a licensing decision following the pandemic and industrial action. All drivers, by law, must meet the medical standards for fitness to drive. Each year, the DVLA makes over 500,000 medical licensing decisions and to help make these decisions, the DVLA often requires questionnaires to be completed by a driver’s doctor or consultant. Presently, the Road Traffic Act 1988 only enables registered medical practitioners to complete the medical questionnaires which have contributed to many delays.

Exercise guidelines for people with osteoarthritis
New draft guidelines for the NHS have said that exercise should play a part in the treatment of people suffering with wear-and-tear joint arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a common condition with an estimated 7.4 million people in England over the age of 45 with it. Symptoms can range from being relatively mild to causing severe pain, stiffness and swelling that can make exercising difficult, but according to the new NICE guidelines, physical activity should be the main treatment – not painkillers.
If you suffer from osteoarthritis your osteopath as well has helping relieve pain through gentle hands on treatment can also provide a range of exercises suited to your particular symptoms.

LSO baby clinic reopens
The London School of Osteopathy is delighted to announce that they have reopened their popular paediatric clinic that had been suspended due to Covid & the logistical constraints it imposed. Prior to March 2020 the baby clinic would see a dozen infants each week including newborns, and we sometimes work alongside midwives, health visitors and lactation consultants. Others were self-referrals from parents who had heard about the positive impact that osteopathy could have on the health and well-being of their babies and children.

Evidence suggests that exercise in general can help patients manage the pain of hip and knee osteoarthritis. Further key messages from this Snapshot Summary include:

- Catering to the patient’s specific needs and circumstances may improve adherence, which is important for improvements in outcomes.
