Many people suffer from the debilitating  chronic pain, but there is a natural way to live pain-free. You can read more about this natural treatment by reading our Chronic Pain eBook.

This eBook describes the cause and treatment of adhesions which can cause chronic pain throughout the body. Adhesions are thick fibrous bands of scar tissue that form following a trauma or surgery. These adhesions can attach to delicate tissues and organs causing tightness and pain by acting as an adhesive glue. The Wurn Technique® is a hands-on physical therapy has been shown to decrease pain and increase function by pulling apart these adhesions strand by strand. This allows the body to return to normal function and relieves the stress and pulling on the delicate tissues within the body.

Share this information with someone you know who suffers from chronic pain, and help them find a path to living pain-free.

Adhesions Video with Larry Wurn – Clear Passage Physical Therapy, a natural treatment

February 21, 2010 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

Larry Wurn, Research Director of Clear Passage Therapies, discusses manual physical therapy (Wurn Technique) to treat internal adhesions and scarring.

Adhesions naturally form as part of the healing process after an infection, inflammation, surgery, or trauma.  Unfortunately, the body has no natural way to dissolve adhesions. As such, they can cause pain or dysfunction, including nearly half of all female infertility.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy is designed to decrease internal adhesions, reduce pain, and increase function, naturally and permanently.

Dr. Jacques Moritz, Director of Endoscopy Section and Division of Gynecology, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center says, “As a gynecological surgeon I have seen first hand what happens after I operate on patients. As much as I try to prevent adhesions I know that most patients after surgery are going to develop some form of adhesive disease. In the past treatment for adhesions has been even more surgery which caused even more adhesions. Now with the amazing “Clear Passage” technique patients have a safe and effective alternative to surgery. ”

Blocked Fallopian Tubes after Chlamydia

November 21, 2008 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 2 comments

By Jackie

Chlamydia, often know as the “silent” STD, can cause extensive scarring and adhesions within the female reproductive tract. Because Chlamydia produces relatively few noticeable symptoms, women are often unaware they have it until they struggle with infertility and undergo extensive diagnostic testing. Although doctors can cure Chlamydia with pharmaceuticals, the adhesions and scar tissue caused by the disease will remain in the body.

The only option conventional medicine can offer women with adhesions is laparoscopic surgery. However, surgery to open blocked fallopian tubes is not always successful. Furthermore, laparoscopic surgery itself can cause more adhesions and scar tissue to form.

Nicole, one of our former patients, struggled with just this problem. When Nicole and her husband couldn’t become pregnant after three years, they sought the help of a reproductive endocrinologist (RE). Her RE performed a series of tests. Nicole told us, “That when I found out I had an undetected STD, Chlamydia. It had caused scar tissue to form around and block my fallopian tubes.”

Her specialist recommended surgery to open the tubes or IVF. Nicole sought a second opinion with another RE who suspected she had fibroids in her uterus in addition to blocked tubes. He suggested she undergo a myomectomy to remove the fibroids and he would also try to open her blocked fallopian tubes at the same time. He successfully removed the fibroids, but he couldn’t open her tubes.

Nicole then tried three IVFs, all of which were unsuccessful or ended in miscarriage. Afterward, she heard about our clinic on an infertility chat site and decided to attend. After treatment, her HSG test showed her fallopian tubes were clear!

However, Nicole’s doctor encouraged her to undergo IVF. Nicole, concerned about her biological clock, she chose to undergo the procedure and told us, “At nine weeks, I discovered I had twins, but one passed away early in the pregnancy.” Nicole later gave birth to her baby girl, Joy.

Everyone was later surprised when Nicole became unexpectedly pregnant after the birth of Joy. Nicole exclaimed, “We didn’t try anything and we got pregnant!” Nicole’s tubes had indeed opened and she later gave birth to a little boy.

If you would like to read more about treatment for blocked fallopian tubes, please visit our blocked tubes page. Nicole’s story, along with the stories of 75 former patients, will be showcased in our upcoming book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain.

Could Your Unexplained Infertility Be Due to an Accident or Surgery in Childhood?

November 16, 2008 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

Unexplained female infertility can be an extremely frustrating diagnosis. As one patient told us, “At least when you know a cause, you can find an answer, or have something to battle against.”

When women come to our clinic with unexplained infertility, we dive into their medical and personal history. Women are often surprised when we ask about accidents in their childhood, such as falls. These events are pertinent because they can have a lasting impact on the body. When your body is injured, collagen rushes to the area to contain and repair the site. Collagen continues to build to help the area heal and eventually forms adhesions. Over time, the body will appear healed on the outside, but the adhesions will remain on the inside, often restricting and adhering previously mobile structures. A confounding problem for doctors is that adhesions do not show-up on diagnostic tests, unless extremely large.

At CPT, we sink our hands into the patient’s skin and palpate all organs and structures to feel if they are adhered or immobile. We then gently deform, detach, and break-apart the adhesions to restore mobility and function.

One of our former patients, Roxanne, underwent an appendectomy at age 10. Her doctor warned that the procedure could cause some internal scarring that could interfere with pregnancy. At age 30, Roxanne experienced difficulty conceiving. When she came to us for treatment, we focused on reducing adhesions in her reproductive tract and near the site of her surgery. Three months after treatment, she became pregnant naturally. She delivered a healthy baby girl and later had a second child.
