Chiropractor

Hey! I just went to the chiropractor today! My bladder feels better after having gone! I wonder if that is a coincidence.... He did show me where the bladder and nerves, bones in the back connected to the bladder--- Anyone else have this experience

I'm glad you had great success going to the chiro!!! Thats great!!!

I have not gone yet but I am going to go to a chiro who also does acupuncture soon. She is on the pelvic medicine team that I go to. My uro did a study of the effects of acupuncture on IC when she was a fellow and said all the pts in the study had at least a 40% reductions in at least one of their symptoms whether it be frequency, pelvic pain, bladder pain, etc. So I'm very excited to see what it does for me!

I personally have not, but want to try. I do have 2 friends though who also have IC and both find great relief w/ their chiropractors. But I know they are also taking marshmallow root and probiotics like pb8 and natures sunshine probiotics eleven (extra added probiotics dealing specifically w/ our issues) and one is taking aloe vera. So its hard to say if the relief is from the chiro or the herbs or the combinations.

I had chiropractic work done years ago for VVestibulitis and it was successful. I hadn't tried it for bladder problems but if my symptoms return I will be. I know whenever my pt did a lot of work on my sacral area and lower back my bladder always felt better afterward, so it's worth a try.

I went to a Chiropractor years ago when I had insurance that covered it. I benefitted from it.

However when you stop going you do feel a not so good difference @ first then you adjust to not having adjustments over time.

I began doing Yoga on my own about 1 & 1/2 years ago. I feel alot better, I self taught myself from a DVD & a few tips from my friend in MI gave me before we relocated. I then found a local yoga instructor this year & got some individualized instruction on areas & issues that I wanted to work on, WOW! I then "kicked myself in the butt" (made myself) & attended a couple of her classes, even more WOW! I learn something everytime I have gone I plan on attending one of her classes in the fall, I am excited! I have slept more sound since I began doing yoga everynight, I wake up feeling more refreshed it's great!

I now do between 10-15 minutes of yoga everynight before I go to bed followed by deep cleansing breathing exercises & deep relaxation exercises.

The instructor teaches power yoga, also known as Vinyasa (means flow), there are different styles & this is all I know, most importantly it helps me feel better

It's up to you what you do but my only regret is not beginning Yoga earlier than I did!
