Abdominal Problems

Overview

Lower abdominal pain can affect both men and women and may arise from a wide range of underlying causes. Among the most significant digestive-related contributors are bowel obstruction and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Bowel obstruction is a serious, sometimes life-threatening condition that often presents with pain in the lower abdomen and is a frequent cause of emergency surgery. An NIH-cited controlled study demonstrated the effectiveness of Clear Passage® Therapies in reducing bowel obstruction. World-renowned physicians recommend Clear Passage® for recurrent small bowel obstruction (SBO), for SIBO, and for strictures caused by Crohn’s disease or other digestive disorders. Other gastrointestinal conditions that may cause lower abdominal pain in both men and women include inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

In women, lower abdominal pain is often related to the reproductive system and menstrual cycle. Conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, and dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps) commonly cause cramping and pelvic discomfort. Studies show that Clear Passage® can help decrease pain associated with dysmenorrhea and endometriosis. Women may also experience lower abdominal pain from non-reproductive causes, including digestive disorders and postoperative adhesions.

In men, lower abdominal pain may result from conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, prostatitis, or appendicitis. UTIs can cause pain and burning during urination, while kidney stones may lead to severe pain radiating to the lower abdomen or groin. Prostate inflammation and acute appendicitis can also cause significant lower abdominal discomfort. These conditions require prompt medical evaluation and are not appropriate for our therapy.

Additional causes of lower abdominal pain that may affect both men and women include pelvic floor muscle spasms, abdominal adhesions from prior surgeries, and referred pain from the lower back or surrounding structures. In some cases, our therapy may help reduce chronic pain or dysfunction related to these conditions.

Why Choose Clear Passage®

The hands-on therapy at Clear Passage® focuses on decreasing the adhesions (internal scars) that form when the body heals. Published studies show that our treatment offers a non-surgical approach with proven results. We have developed our treatment over 30+ years with two goals: safety and effectiveness.

We have been treating adhesions in the body since 1989. We often consult with physicians before, and sometimes throughout the treatment process, to ensure positive outcomes, and we hand-pick each therapist, as well as train them extensively in the therapy we have researched and developed over several decades.
