New Therapy Approach For Back Pain Posted: 09-09-06 01:46am
The dorn method - the gentle relative to
osteopathy and chiropractic
a wholistic, gentle, effective and safe
way to correct misalignments of the spinal
column and other joints. It is possibly
the most effective and safe manual therapy
available today that can help with:
backpain, sciatica, scoliosis, neck and
joint pains, migraine, hip-problems,
all chronic inner conditions etc…..
The method is based on natural laws of
physics and anatomy and combines tcm
(traditional chinese medicine) -
principals with western techniques and
principals and it is unrivaled in its
efficiency.
A healing ‘method’ because it combines
3 major factors:
1.) explanation of the cause of most
spinal and joint problems (to avoid
future mistakes!)
2.) an effective and safe therapy in
cooperation with the patient (based on
nature laws)
3.) explanation of self help exercises for
patient ‘after care’ (necessary to
prevent and maintain!)
the dorn method is - not just a therapy -
it is a complete
healing method
that teaches people self help by showing
how to apply the dorn method in a gentle,
effective and safe way!
Healing through the spine - a simple yet
very effective method, the 'dorn method'
the origins:
dieter dorn a german farmer and sawmill
owner developed the method himself over
thirty years ago. The lay healer since
trained hundreds of people in this
wonderful technique since it takes only
two days to learn and many are now
practicing it with equal success. Click
on ‘history’ -link for more info!
The basic principles:
the dorn method is a gentle vertebrae and
joint treatment. It can be helpful for
treating illnesses directly or indirectly
connected to the spinal column. It is
completely safe but still very
effective.
No medication is needed and no medical
training is necessary to use the method
successful. It can be learned and
mastered easily all you need is sensitive,
healthy hands. A talented lay person can
quickly help, in many cases, themselves
and those around them, but of course to
use the dorn method on a professional
level more experience, training and
knowledge about anatomy, physiology,
physical therapy like massage etc. Is
necessary!
Our skeleton should be symmetrical,
harmonic and in a static-dynamic alignment
equilibrium. When we 'upset' this 'bone
order' then our joints may be moved out of
place especially in the spine.
The results of long-term 'bone
dislocations' are as diverse as there are
names for illnesses today. When the
skeleton is re-aligned people often fast
feel better and symptoms of illness can
disappear or abate.
The dorn method is based on the correction
of uneven leg length which can be
diagnosed in almost every human today.
Because of that the pelvis becomes twisted
and this often results in a asymmetrical,
crooked or displaced spinal column.
Traditional medicine has very little yet
complicated explanations for the causes
and persons many end up having operations
or walk around with special build up shoes
or insoles. The dorn method proves that
we can have the same leg length every day
and your body will thank you for that.
The corrections of joint or spinal cord
misalignments is always done in a
'dynamic', a moving action. Our muscles
will always try to hold the positions of
the joints and spine and when they are out
of order the muscles assumes this 'wrong'
position as the correct one and hold it
there. A static correction e.G.
Chiropractic, is difficult since it needs
to overcome the strength of the holding
muscles and the patient is often quite
tense since the treatment is done ´on´
him and not ´with´ him..
The dorn method uses motion to divert the
muscles tension and in this relaxed state
it is reasonable easy to re-align the
bones. The same principal as when
getting sand through a sieve, you need to
shake (move) the sieve in order to get the
sand through it! The dorn method can be
called a ‘gentle’ method and no harm
can be done to the patient because the
correction pressure is stopped as soon as
any pain arises.
Positive results are often immediately
achieved and with some easy exercises,
that the patient does after the treatment,
the dorn method can bring long lasting
relief.
The treatment: (check demo video at edit)
the treatment should start with detailed
explanations about the therapy and the
causes of spinal problems, different leg
length causes etc. So the patient learns
what to do in order to avoid this in the
future.
First the patients leg length is
controlled and if necessary corrected in a
laying position. The hip joint is
brought to a 90 degree position and the
leg is then brought back to its straight
position while guiding the bones back into
its original place with gentle pressure.
This can be done by the patient and it is
absolutely safe, easy and painless!
The treatment of knees and ankles should
then follow with the same principals:
gentle pressure towards the joint while
moving it from a bended to a more straight
position.
After the legs the pelvis is checked for
misalignment and also corrected if
necessary. Followed by the lumbar
vertebrae and lower thoracic columns while
standing upright. Then the upper
thoracic vertebrae are checked, corrected
if necessary, and finally the cervical
vertebrae, usually in a sitting
position.
The treatment often is continued by the
controlling and correction of other joints
like the shoulders, elbow, hands and
others like the jaw or collarbone.
The basics during the correction is always
the same: the patient is in a dynamic,
'moving' action while the bones are
brought back into proper position.
For example: if any of the lumbar
vertebrae (lower back) is not aligned then
it is checked in what direction it is
misplaced and by using gentle, gradually
increasing but sensitive pressure with the
thumb the practitioner then helps the bone
back into position while the patient is
swinging with the leg on the opposite side
back and forth and therefore distracts the
muscles of the back.
This movement is done with the arms
swinging accordingly for the upper
thoracic vertebrae and the neck moves from
side to side while correcting the cervical
vertebrae. In principal the bones are
‘guided’ back into position with
gentle pressure (counter pressure) using
hand(s) or thumb only. This is a gentle
and ‘natural’ way and the body readily
accepts these corrections.
The correction is often a little painful
but the pain stops the moment the
practitioner take his hand off and it is
only done in cooperation with the patient
to avoid unnecessary discomfort.
After the treatment:
the patient is shown some simple exercises
and it should be explained how to adjust
uneven movements and bad postural patterns
to achieve long lasting results and
sometimes psychological connections are
discussed which needs to be addressed to
avoid reoccurrences.
Treatment reactions:
sometimes there are several reactions to
be noticed up to seven days after the
treatment. Dull muscle pain due to the
correction (like after a gym workout) and
pressure sensitivity on the corrected
areas are common. Detoxification sign
due to an improved metabolism (better
nerve function) e.G. Flue like symptoms,
changes in toilet habits and even an
‘awakening’ of unsolved inner issues
may appear. These reactions should be
judged as a positive ‘healing
crisis’!
Of course positive reactions like the
disappearance of long time pain and
chronic inner ailments can be noticed most
of the time.
