"As primitive as this therapy (spondylo-therapy) appears, it can be a lifesaver. I've helped hundreds of women with prolapsed uterus problems over the years.. Nothing else even comes close to getting the job done as effectively as this treatment does."
Health Alert, Vol. 13, No. 6. It's a funny thing about what you remember as a kid. I can remember my grandmother getting sick sometime around the late 1950's. She had chronic stomach pain and was convinced `she was dying from stomach cancer. She stopped eating and prepared to die. My grandfather took her to "the old doc"~an old~time osteopath. |
|
He said her stomach no longer produced acid and gave her a prescription for hydrochloric acid drops which she put in water and sipped during meals. Her pains were quickly gone, but the acid was ruining her mouth, teeth, and throat. Grandpa was an electrician among other things. He went and got an anatomy book, looked up the spine, and found that the nerves to the stomach came out of the spine at levels T5 and T6 (between the shoulder blades).
He bought a hand vibrator, located the T5-T6 area, and massaged grandma's back every night. Much to everybody's surprise her stomach came back to normal without the acid drops and she lived another 20 year..
There is a strong message here, including one for women with prolapsed or dropped uterus, bladder, or bowel. It is, "Welcome to the world of `hands~on' therapy."
Prolapsed uterus is very common–caused by tough childbirth, surgery: dropped bowel, bladder problems, and more. The treatments are not very great-pessary or plastic lifting devices, and stapling or suturing the uterus up. These often don't work well and can come undone. Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is the last option, and this comes with its own set of problems.
Hands-on Therapy and Exercises
In reality there is no easy cure. But by using hands~on therapy (like grandpa), combined with slant-board and Kegel exercises, you have the best odds of getting dropped uterus, bowel, etc., under control. The Kegel and slant-board exercises can be done simultaneously and dally. You simply lie on a board with one end elevated 12" to 15"-your head at the lower end. While in this position you perform the Kegel exercises which can be found online at www.kegel.com.
Also while in the slant-board position, a partner can perform the uterus lift technique . The, fleshy part of the hand at the base of the wrist is placed just above the pubic bone. Deep pressure is exerted toward the spine and up toward the head at the same time. Hold this very deep pressure for ten seconds and release. Perform this ten times per treatment.

Spondylotherapy
Then there is grandpa's therapy or what old time doctors used to call Spondylotherapy. This is a physical pulsing massage of the last\three vertebrae in the spine. This pulsating treatment stimulates spinal nerves that supply tone to the muscles and supporting structures of the uterus. The best massage unit will have two firm balls or protuberances about a`n inch in diameter and side-by~ side. There are now therapeutic massage units of this type that impart a pulsing or light pounding ` kind of therapy. This is the type of unit you want to buy. The Equalizer Pro, found at stores like Target, is a good example. |
The pounding-type massage balls are placed over the lowest three vertebrae in the spine Gust on top of the tailbone), one bone at a time, starting with third to the lowest (the third lumbar vertebra).
(the fourth lumbar). And finally it is placed for two minutes over the last vertebra in the spine (the fifth lumbar). If the positioning is not exactly perfect, things will still work out.
You can find massage units at large stores such as Target. If not, you can usually get one at an orthopedic or medical supply store. It is the light concussing massage that is critical. Use this therapy combined with slant-board, uterus-lift and Kegel exercises. Perform all four of these daily or at least every other day for three to four months. About halfway through the treatment time, you may begin to experience cramps in the lower abdomen as the supporting structures begin to regain their tone.
