If Chronic Pain Isn’t a Reliable Diagnostic Category What Can We Do?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In the last post we raised the issue of defining chronic pain. One suggestion was to define it in terms of duration. Van Korff & Dunn, in Chronic Pain Reconsidered (2008), argue that “while conceptually appealing, this approach has not produced reliable or valid...

Solid Matter Is Not Fixed, But Mobility Is?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

I will never forget the patient I saw in Stouffville, Ontario, who was told by her chiropractor that the pain and lack of motion in her neck had to do with the osteophytes that had amassed on her cervical spine. After two series of 30 treatments, she came to see me...

How Does Our Brain Register Pain?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

What is Pain Anyway?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

In the current series of posts I’ll be discussing the treatment of pain and how this creates difficulties for effective assessment, using the SOAP method for doctors’ diagnosis. It seems though that before becoming fully immersed in these discussions, it would be...

How I Treat Pain

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

In my last post I discussed the difficulties pain posed for effective assessment, given its subjective character, and how addressing pain first was the prime directive in my practice.   Perhaps the most effective way of addressing the multifactorial,...

Bowen for Four Legged Friends

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Animal Bowen Therapy

Bowen isn’t just for humans, it is spreading into the equine world as well. And why wouldn’t it help the whole body naturally rebalance, repair and heal itself, regardless of whether the body has two or four legs? As it is with humans, when one area of our...

The following is Part 3 of a 3 Part Feature with Athletic & Bowen Therapist, Brynn Bicknell. Brynn currently works out of a multidisciplinary clinic in Coquitlam as well as with a lower mainland hockey team. Last week we discussed Brynn’s first experience...

Getting the Mind-Body Connection Right Provides the Essential Theoretical Framework

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

My last post warned of the dangers in treating the patient’s symptoms as an inventory of body parts to be discretely assessed. An antidote to this misguided thinking is in recognizing the mind-body connection.  Understanding the factors which may have contributed to a...
