Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Visceral Manipulation enhances the normal mobility and tissue motion of the organs of the visceral system. These gentle manipulations can alter and improve the structure and physiological functions of the organ, their systems, and the entire body. At optimum health, there is an interconnected motion between all the body's organs. This synchronistic movement is flexible enough to remain stable throughout the body's many varieties of motion. Hypertonicity, displacement and adhesions, however, can all cause organs to work against each other and the body's muscular, membranous, fascial, and osseous structures. These disturbances can create chronic irritations and fixed, abnormal points of tension. Visceral Manipulation consists of very delicate manual techniques that encourage the normal mobility and inherent tissue motions of the viscera and their connective tissues. -New Member > > > > > > > > > > Welcome : > > > > > > I just wanted to let you know that I have tried many, many of the > > > " alternative " methods to relieve pain, including massage, > acupuncture, > > > antioxidants, biofeedback and guided imagery just to name a few! > I have > > > found that they all work to some degree, but nothing, > unfortunately, works > > > as well as opiods.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks Mark...appreciate it. Do you know anything about the sandostatin and/or ocretide. Seems I read something here once about injections of those? Don't know...but if anyone knows anything please let me know. I'll do anything at this point to ward off another one of those demonic attacks!! > > > Give Visceral manipulation a shot...works great for me > > > > > > I hope this finds you and yours well > > > > > > Mark E.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Well If you look at the info on Sandostation, one of the side effects is pancreatitis...I still don't understand how a Dr can prescribe that for someone that already had panc... I hope this finds you and yours well Mark E.
