Understanding Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) and How Clear Passage Physical Therapy Can Help

Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) occurs when the small intestine is partially or completely blocked, preventing the normal passage of digestive contents. This condition can lead to severe abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and constipation, and it can significantly impact your overall health and quality of life. At Clear Passage Physical Therapy, we specialize in non-surgical treatments designed to address the root causes of SBO and provide lasting relief through our unique and effective approaches.

Our Approach to Treating SBO

Clear Passage Physical Therapy employs the Wurn Technique®, a hands-on therapy method focused on reducing adhesions and internal scarring within the abdomen. These adhesions can contribute to SBO by restricting the normal movement of the intestines and creating blockages. Our therapy aims to:

•Release Abdominal Adhesions: Adhesions can bind the intestines together, leading to blockages. Our manual therapy helps to soften and release these internal scars, potentially clearing obstructions and restoring normal bowel function.

•Reduce Pain and Discomfort: By addressing the underlying adhesions, our therapy can help alleviate the severe pain and discomfort associated with SBO.

•Improve Intestinal Mobility: Adhesions can hinder the natural movement of the intestines. Our treatment promotes better intestinal mobility, which is crucial for preventing and managing obstructions.

•Enhance Overall Digestive Health: Our approach not only targets adhesions but also supports overall digestive health, leading to improved bowel function and reduced risk of future obstructions.

What to Expect from Treatment

Choosing Clear Passage Physical Therapy for managing SBO means you can expect a comprehensive and personalized treatment experience:

•Detailed Assessment: Our skilled therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to understand your specific symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.

•Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, focusing on reducing adhesions and improving intestinal function.

•Hands-On Therapy Sessions: Our therapy sessions involve precise, hands-on techniques aimed at releasing adhesions and enhancing the mobility of your intestines.

•Ongoing Monitoring and Support: We provide continuous support and monitoring throughout your treatment to ensure progress and adapt the plan as needed for optimal results.
