NHS Goes Alternative
New guidelines for the NHS on the treatment
of back pain are now to include several
alternative therapies.
In fact after an in
depth review of all of the 200 available
treatments for back pain, the National
Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) has
recommended that therapies such as
"needling", chiropractic and osteopathy be
included and the current standard treatments
such as ultrasound, steroid injections and
X-rays be excluded.
A recent watchdog analysis concluded that
huge financial resources in the terms of tens
of £millions are getting wasted on what
amounts to useless back pain treatments. They
recommended that resources should instead be
spent on alternative therapies that have been
shown to work.

Tai Chi Eases Arthritis Pain
Tai Chi, the traditional 'martial art' from
China is proving effective at reducing pain
from arthritis. Tai Chi is a popular practice
in the UK, especially with older people as it
involves slow and rhythmic movements of the
whole body. It is known to be good for
maintaining overall health, stamina, muscle
tone and reducing tension and can be
practiced on one's own or in a group.
There are already several therapies
recommended for the treatment of arthritis,
such as aerobic exercises, yoga, palates and
other stretching and strengthening exercises.
They all help to reduce the musculoskeletal
pain that can be very acute in some cases.
Arthritis also requires considerable
resources from the NHS to alleviate the pain
experienced by sufferers.
This latest study involving arthritic
volunteers was to test how effective Tai Chi
was at enhancing people's quality of life and
physical functioning as well as reducing
their disability and pain.
Equilibrium's Tai Chi classes begin again in
September. Full details here.
