Scenar for Arthritis

 

Scenar Helps Arthritis

 

Arthritis therapy, to be successful and lasting, depends largely on reducing inflammation and optimising the state of the cartilage and synovial fluid in the joints, and, in the case of rheumatoid and some other forms of arthritis, balancing the immune system. Scenar delivers powerful pain relief and can be a significant help to arthritis sufferers.

Whichever stage of arthritis is present, from stiffness and occasional twinges to constant pain and joint deformity, arthritis is something to take seriously and to recognise the myths we've learned about it:

  • Arthritis is not just an inevitable consequence of aging: in the U.K., two thirds are under the age of 65, and 27,000 sufferers are under the age of 25, including 12,000 children.
  • Arthritis is not simply hereditary.
  • Arthritis is not treatable with just chondroitin and glucosamine.
  • It's never too late to start addressing arthritis (although the extent of the damage done will affect how far Scenar can help).

Only one in eight people in the U.K. seeks treatment for their osteoarthritis, and even those with rheumatoid arthritis often let it slip until major damage has occurred. Yet the effects are generally progressive and can eventually produce almost constant pain.

The most obvious initial steps you can take with arthritis are to alter repetitive work and extreme sports activities that may be over-stressing the joints, to add beneficial exercises and to change your diet. Given a realistic chance, Scenar can then be a very useful adjunct, depending on which condition is involved of the 200 or so listed in the arthritis family.

 

Osteoarthritis is the most common of the conditions listed under arthritis. It especially affects the joints of the knees, hips, hands, neck and lower back. Joints with osteoarthritis may feel warm and swollen, and become stiff after periods of inactivity.

Skeleton with ArthritisOver the age of 45, many people begin to experience a hardening, shrinkage and even breaking down of the cushioning cartilage in their joints, causing arthritic pain and stiffness. By 65, most people have some form of osteoarthritis symptoms, although it will have started many years before it became painful. Those who intensely stress their joints through sports or at work may feel the arthritis in their forties (especially men) and fifties (women). 

With osteoarthritis, key factors are the flexibilty of the cartilage, which becomes more vulnerable to damage, and the quality of the synovial fluid which lines the joints. These together act as a cushion, shock absorber and lubricant. In response to osteoarthritis, bones thicken or change shape, often producing bone spurs. The joint space narrows, the cartilage degrades, and there may be direct bone to bone contact.

Usually osteoarthritis responds steadily to Scenar, especially if combined with one or two other compatible therapies. The speed of improvement  depends on how far the arthritis has progressed. Pain relief should be possible at any stage, with a gradual increase in the range of movement, mobility and the range of activities that can be undertaken.

 

Rheumatoid ArthritisRheumatoid Arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types of degenerative disease. In RA, the immune system turns on its own body, in this case the lining of the joints, especially in the hands and feet. Rheumatoid Arthritis can destroy cartilage, bone, tendons and ligaments, causing permanent deformity and disability, clawing of fingers and toes, and in severe cases, other parts of the body including the lungs, blood vessels and nerves. RA usually occurs between ages 30 and 50.

Scenar pain relief is of obvious benefit with a condition as painful as Rheumatoid Arthritis. It may also help by relaxing the Autonomic Nervous System, which appears to be a key factor in the progress of RA. However, it is important to be realistic and to recognise that Rheumatoid Arthritis presents a very difficult challenge, and will usually require a great deal of treatment to see any substantial progress.

Don Elwick, Managing Director, Brighton Media Centre (Cracked Ribs)

"December 21st, 2009, I went out running, slipped on some ice, and fell heavily on my back. A nurse and a doctor both confirmed I had two or three cracked ribs. I spent the next week hardly sleeping due to the pain. December 29th I saw Paul Lowe for a Scenar treatment, and that night I slept properly again. Over the next few days, almost all the pain had gone. I had a second Scenar treatment January 1st, and on January 4th, the doctor found it hard to believe there was nothing left from the accident."

"I had a very painful injury to my leg and I tried several therapies. Scenar was the best for really deep healing. Thank you Paul."

Tali Saar, Shiatsu and Cranio-Sacral Therapist, Lewes, Sussex (Bell's Palsy)

"I was treated by Paul Lowe for Bell's Palsy. Apart from facial paralysis, I had pain in my face and ear canal. The pains disappeared after the first two treatments, and soon there was a huge improvement in the paralysis and my energy levels. The treatments reminded me of a deep, relaxing place I had lost for many years. I experienced changes at many levels, far beyond my original symptoms. Paul has been both supportive and inspiring. He is a unique practitioner with vast knowledge in his field."

Erica Yonge, Energy Therapist, Marlborough, Wiltshire (Back Pain)

"Paul, I just wanted to say thank you so much for sorting out my back problem so effectively with Scenar. I was told I had a potential herniated disc in my lower back, and I was in a lot of pain for many years. It was getting worse in recent months, and I was frequently unable to stand up straight for minutes at a time. After six sessions with the Scenar, not only am I completely pain free in my back for the first time in years, but my posture has also corrected itself naturally. I wouldn't have believed I could be this pain free after so many years of pain."

Lucienne Atkinson, Business Owner, Oulston, Yorkshire  (Back Pain)

"Life had been years of debilitating pain. I was at my wit's end. Finding Paul Lowe and the Scenar treatment has been nothing short of a miracle for me. After two long treatments with him, the worst problem area for pain changed, almost disappeared." 18 months later: "It's truly a miracle. I have gone back to the athletic person I was before. I can train hard on my mountain bike for 3 or 4 days consecutively with no back pain!"

Barry Chapman, Designer, Hove, Sussex (Polymyalgia)

"I would recommend anybody with health challenges to talk to Paul. I had a combination of polymyalgia, extremely sore feet, low energy and limited mobility. I thought I had tried everything and had resigned myself to sliding down the slippery slope. Paul, his guidance and treatments, gave me hope when I had none, and for this I am extremely thankful. I've adjusted my lifestyle and diet and worked hard. I am now fit, energetic and strong."

Angela Gilroy, Media Designer, London (Sciatica + Spondylosis)

"When I hurt my lower back, the pain made it impossible to move my right leg backwards when walking, so I had to shuffle. Paul Lowe gave me a brief Scenar treatment that night and I felt some relief immediately and got a good night's sleep. The next morning he gave me a full back treatment, and this produced a major change. It still felt a little tender but I could walk around almost normally."

Marco Crivello, Artist, Lewes, Sussex (Shoulder + Back Pain)

"I had acute pain in my right shoulder. I tried osteopathy and cranio-sacral over several weeks, but with negligible results. Paul treated me with Scenar daily for four days, and by the end I was pain-free. On another occasion, I was in acute pain months after Achilles tendon surgery -- after one treatment from Paul, the pain went away. I also threw my back out twice. Each time, one Scenar treatment was enough to put it back to normal."

Stephanie Davies-Arai, Sculptor, Lewes, Sussex (Sciatica)

"I was rushed to hospital on three occasions and given four strong painkillers including morphine. I finally collapsed at work in agony, unable to walk. After 10 daily treatments with Paul, I was able to stop the painkillers and drive 80 miles to a work event. Six months on, I'm still pain free."

Tim Cornwall, Works Manager, Herstmonceaux, Sussex (Slipped Disc)

"I've had hip and lower back problems for over 30 years. This episode was the worst I've had for two years: I could hardly walk or drive. Until now, I'd go to the chiropractor for several treatments and take at least three weeks to recover. With Paul it took four days and four Scenar treatments to get back to normal. On day 1, I could barely walk. On day 3, I took the dog for a one-hour walk."

Dolores Goodey, School Teacher,  Newhaven, Sussex  (Chronic Whiplash Pain)

"It works, and I tried everything. I have more energy and I'm sleeping well. I used to get aches all the way down my back but not now. I'm also impressed that the treatments had such long lasting effects."

John Hayward, Landscaper, Westham, Sussex (Neck + Shoulder Pain)

"The pain had reached levels that stopped my physical workload. The diagnosis was nerve compression due to an old injury to the C5/6/7 vertebrae. After four Scenar treatments, I was able to stop the painkillers. After three months,10 treatments I can sleep on my side again, write and sign my signature fluently again, turn my head fully to the right and left..." Six months later: "I'm doing heavy physical work again as part of my job, and despite needing occasional top-ups, I'm basically pain-free. Altogether, a phenomenal success."
