AN A-Z OF LUMBAR OR PAIN AND LEG PAIN: INCONTINENCE
Acupuncture gave him immediate relief at the site of pain.
It is embarrassing to have to try desperately not to wet yourself when you laugh, cough or sneeze. The pelvic floor muscles have become weakened when you have babies, have surgery, arrive at menopause with the invariable loss of oestrogen, become overweight or suffer constipation. Another cause is when you have repeatedly lifted objects that were too heavy for you, thereby stretching muscles and ligaments which lose their elasticity.
Types of incontinence:
1. Stress incontinence . . . involuntary loss of urine caused by a weakened sphincter muscle usually in the female. Some relaxing drugs can cause this condition.
2. Urge incontinence … an agonising desire to void. This instability in controlling the desire to urinate happens most often in the elderly, and is aggravated by caffeine, alcohol, anxiety, cold weather and even turning over in bed.
3. Overflow incontinence . . . involuntary loss of urine caused by an obstruction at the outlet of the bladder (usually the prostate gland; therefore this is a male condition).
You need to do pelvic floor exercises. (Gripping the buttocks and tightening the abdominal muscles while holding for as long as possible.) The ‘bridge’ other yoga exercises are very helpful too. Be consistent.
Please try acupuncture before deciding on an operation as it can be very successful. The water meridian is found to be drastically deficient and once we have toned up the kidney and bladder points, nature will correct the difference.
First things first. Remember to have your chiropractor balance your pelvis. If it is out of alignment, all the exercises in the world won’t help you for long. Your structure holds everything up. All the muscles and ligaments attach somewhere to it. It’s logical. If you are having trouble with the roof of your house, then you’d check the foundations, wouldn’t you? Engineers understand that reasoning. Structure governs function. Fix the structural problems when they happen and the faults won’t follow you into maturity.
An elderly lady had been suffering the indignity of losing a little urine every time she sneezed or laughed and had an occasional constipation problem that she handled with slippery elm.
Several months later, her ankles started to swell, especially the left one and she became tired after lunch. Finally her daily walk was interrupted by a sore heel that couldn’t take her weight any more.
As the heel pain was a real nuisance, she visited her chiropractor. Her leg lengths were measured and found to be uneven due to a pelvic ligament problem. This was then adjusted. It didn’t hurt one iota. In fact she; returned for another adjustment. It was a real pleasure.
She noticed that when the pelvis was settled correctly, her bowel habits, returned to normal and the bladder wasn’t upset by the peals of laughter to which she was prone.
