Medical practice in recent years shows that the separation of doctors according to certain specializations does not always benefit the patient. The reason is that the human body is no longer perceived as one. The principle of "do not share what is interconnected" goes into oblivion.
Visceral chiropractic, which has gained great popularity in the modern world, demonstrates amazing healing and wellness results.
Such treatments have been known for a long time. The ancient healers of Indochina, the Filipino healers successfully used similar techniques. Old European visceral chiropractic was very successful in the European space.
And traditional medicine often uses chiropractic. An example is palpation. For adherents of manual therapy and kinesiologists from alternative medical practices, this is one of the main methods of diagnosis and treatment.
What does this beautiful and incomprehensible expression mean? How to apply it?
Definition of Visceral Chiropractic
The phrase “visceral chiropractic” contains the meanings of three words - “inner”, “arm”, “action”.
With the help of certain movements, an examination of the organs is carried out. The correctness of their location, natural mobility is evaluated. Then treatment is performed. For this, fingers, palm, fist are used. Moving the hand in the right direction and with the prescribed force leads to an improvement in the functioning of the organ and the whole body as a whole.
The specificity of the impact includes such techniques:
- squeezing
- vibration;
- punching;
- moving
- tension;
- stretching;
- massage.
All these movements help restore the functioning of internal organs to their original state.
The origins of visceral therapy
Ancient healers claimed that massaging body parts is very important for the full functioning of the body, especially in extreme and difficult conditions.
Abdominal massage, which included visceral chiropractic in old Russian medicine, was necessary as a means to relieve pain in injuries and injuries.
Gradually, the range of movements expanded and improved. Healers have learned not only to relieve pain cramps, but also to carry out the rehabilitation of organs after completion of treatment. A number of measures were aimed at prevention and relaxation. Positive results gave rise to further research and developments.
Some healers believed and carried to the masses the idea that a panacea for all diseases is visceral chiropractic. In old Russian medicine, concomitant remedies were successfully used.
Lotions and tinctures from herbs relieved the condition and accelerated the course of the disease. With the help of applications, damaged tissues and organs were restored faster. Certain plant species helped in the fight against parasites. On the basis of the teachings of herbalists, a department of medicine such as homeopathy has developed.
The use of medical leeches and bee venom along with chiropractic gave persistent positive results. Doctors noticed that biological enzymes contained in saliva and poison possess not only regenerative properties, but also anti-inflammatory ones.
The use of pots first, and subsequently cans, helped to identify the focus of the pathology. A bruise - as a result of staging a jar - showed the presence of a disease in the internal organs. The size and color of the hematoma determined the neglect and danger of ailments.
Many manipulations are used in modern medicine. In diseases of the bronchi and lungs, along with drug treatment, massage and banks are still prescribed.
The use of visceral chiropractic
Visceral chiropractic helps to identify abnormalities and resume the natural active functioning of internal organs.
All processes important for life in the body are carried out due to movement. Blood and lymph flow in a certain direction at the proper speed. The heart vibrates in accordance with the inherent program.
The location, the given rhythm, the presence of free spaces - all this forms a single mechanism. Failure in any department leads to imbalance and gradual destruction.
Visceral therapy has the ability to improve the formation of lymph and its outflow. Actively resume blood circulation, including peripheral. Communication of internal organs and systems is being established.
Neurological syndromes of nerve endings, spasms of tissues and blood vessels, oxygen starvation, fluid congestion ultimately lead to the destruction of a living cell and the appearance of the disease. The use of chiropractic helps to restore, cleanse and fully recover the body.
“Proper maintenance of the environment of internal organs contributes to the active and proper functioning of life support systems,” says Dr. Ogulov. Visceral chiropractic, reviews about the use of which leave no doubt about its usefulness, sometimes acts as the only means of giving a positive result.
It has already been proven that when using this kind of therapy, one can increase endurance, body resistance to physical activity, and improve a person’s athletic performance.
In especially isolated places where it is not possible to control the state of the body using instruments, chiropractic has found its application. Polar explorers and astronauts are taught a short course of visceral therapy.
The effect of visceral therapy
Academician Pavlov with his experiments on dogs proved that muscle weakness is observed with changes in the nervous system, this is due to the excitation of internal organs. With such changes, the motor apparatus is overloaded. The inability to properly perform their functions leads to blocking of the tissues of the joints and vertebrae.
To understand the relationships, special tables have been created. They came in handy in the textbook, which was developed and written by Alexander Timofeevich Ogulov. Visceral chiropractic (the areas of correspondence with the projection onto organs and tissues are shown in the picture below) helps to solve many health problems and can be used for preventive purposes.
About 200 zones projected onto the internal organs are fixed on the human body. There are 60 on the head. Even by the appearance of the skin at a certain point, a preliminary diagnosis of the state of the organ inside can be made.
What results can be achieved by applying “hand healing”?
First of all, a return to the normal functioning of internal organs. And already as additional "bonuses" we have the following effects:
- normalization of arterial and venous blood supply;
- improvement of the activity of the lymph flow, central and peripheral nervous system;
- restoration of the hormonal background and, as a result, the normalization of metabolism;
- internal cramps, blocks, clamps and pain disappear.
- The psychological and emotional state as a whole improves.
Visceral chiropractic has another side effect that is especially pleasing to women. According to their reviews, skin turgor rises and folds on the stomach, sides, legs disappear.
Indications for use
“Restoring the body is an increase in the functioning of weakened, for one reason or another, internal organs. Therefore, the definition of “disease” in this case is completely inappropriate, ”says Professor Ogulov. Visceral chiropractic is effective for both a sick person and a healthy person. It allows you to eliminate the problem, to heal, to carry out prevention.
Indications for the use of visceral therapy are:
- Postoperative and inflammatory adhesions of internal tissues.
- Incorrect arrangement of organs.
- Narrowing the amplitude of organ mobility and internal spasms.
- Blocks and displacements in the joints and vertebrae.
- "Manager's Syndrome."
Ogulov's visceral chiropractic is indicated in the treatment and rehabilitation of such organs and systems:
- Gastrointestinal tract.
- Genitourinary system.
- Diseases of the skin.
- The cardiovascular system.
- ENT organs.
- Endocrine system.
- Impaired liver, pancreas and gall bladder.
- Diseases of the spine.
- Impaired brain function.
In addition, healing with hands helps to eliminate visual defects in the figure. It can be seen from the list that there is practically no system in the human body to which chiropractic cannot be applied.
Contraindications
As with any type of treatment, internal therapy has contraindications. They are divided into two categories: absolute - those that are categorically prohibited, and relative - the decision for or against is made by the doctor based on the patient’s well-being.
The first category is absolute contraindications:
- Protrusion of the abdominal aorta.
- The tendency of the body to form blood clots and the presence thereof.
- The presence of fever, inflammation and infections.
- The presence of foreign bodies in the body.
- Acute bone injuries.
- Bleeding.
- Peritonitis.
- Malignant tumors.
- Autoimmune diseases.
The second category is relative contraindications:
- Kidney stones and gall bladder.
- Hormone-active tumor.
- Persistent increase in blood pressure, uncontrollable.
- Cardiac, renal, respiratory failure, diabetes.
- Delusional and paranoid disorders.
- Inflammation and erosion of the internal mucous membranes.
Ogulov's visceral chiropractic recommends abstaining from therapy for people with a depleted body, in the stage of an acute alcohol or drug condition, as well as in the absence of confidence in the doctor and treatment.
How does a visceral chiropractic session go?
When going to an appointment with a chiropractor, you need to know at least in general terms what will happen there. Sensations during the session are different. It all depends on the degree of neglect of the body or the development of the disease.
“Pain is a guideline for the therapist,” Ogulov writes. Visceral chiropractic should not bring an acute and intolerable feeling of pain. The main thing in the doctor’s ability is to maintain balance, to feel the edge of pain and not to cross it. Much also depends on the individual characteristics and feelings of the patient. The specialist’s duty is to determine the patient’s capabilities and select the appropriate technique.
No special preparation is required before the session. The recommendations relate only to food, behavior and psychological state.
On the day of visiting a chiropractor, it is advisable to sleep well, relax and not think about anything negative. Food recommended light, preferably lacto-vegetarian. The last meal is no later than an hour before the session. Internal therapy should be started with an empty bladder.
The result that Ogulov's visceral chiropractor gives (patient reviews confirm this) is so strong that a few days after the procedure, active processes in the body occur.
Patients can not always accurately describe their feelings after the session. According to them, it is as if overflowing occurs inside the body, languor spreads and fatigue is felt, as after a hard day.
To consolidate the effect requires a huge supply of energy. Therefore, during this period it is advisable to relax and sleep a lot, breathe fresh air, not to drink alcohol and heavy food, and not to strain the body physically and emotionally. Subcooling and overheating are also unacceptable.
Each chiropractor begins with a preliminary diagnosis, determining the patient's pain threshold and selecting the appropriate technique.
The duration of the manipulations depends on the degree of neglect of the body. Patients say that usually the first sessions are much longer than the subsequent ones. Depending on the scale of the task, the reception can last from 30 minutes to two hours.
The frequency of visits is determined by the individual characteristics of the patient. During the first two weeks, sessions are carried out twice a week. Subsequently, it is enough to visit a specialist once every 7-10 days.
The usual cycle consists of 8-12 procedures. After graduation, a month is given to rest. Further, a fixing course is recommended.
Doctor of Traditional Medicine
So who is he - Ogulov AT, whose visceral chiropractic has become the meaning of life?
The future doctor of traditional medicine and a respected professor all over the world did not even dream about the field of medicine. His hobby was sports, namely martial arts. He achieved the title of master of sports in disciplines such as judo and sambo. But the injuries forced me to switch to coaching.
It was at this time that Alexander Timofeevich encountered old Russian chiropractors. He saw a benefit and a tangible result, with no need to resort to official medicine. The ability to recover an athlete after an injury without surgery seemed miraculous at that time.
As an addicted person, Ogulov studied manipulations and massage techniques. It helped in the work and provided food for thought. Around this time, he had a teacher. A woman practicing massage of internal organs during the Second World War. Without a medical education, she worked as a nurse in a hospital and helped soldiers and officers recover from injuries.
At the time of their meeting, the woman was over 80 years old, but it was impossible to name her old. Full of energy, with a clear mind and firm hands, she explained and showed everything that she owned.
The student surpassed the teacher, substantiating and generalizing the movement, created the author’s method. In 1994, a patent was obtained for a complex massage of internal organs, which was subsequently obtained by the term "visceral chiropractic".
For twenty years of the spread of his own methods, Alexander Timofeevich managed to get a secondary medical education, travel around the world and acquire thousands of students and followers.
Having celebrated the 65th anniversary this year, Ogulov can calculate his victories in life:
- He created the Forerunner Center in Moscow, where he conducts patient visits and teaches chiropractic.
- He writes and publishes books related to the topic of visceral chiropractic.
- Summarized the Slavic experience of manual therapy of internal organs.
- He has a membership in the European Academy of Natural Sciences.
- He is a member of the Presidium of Russian healers.
- He has rewards for his contribution to traditional medicine and strengthening the health of the nation.
- Created a biomechanical stimulator.
Wherever the professor came, he was enthusiastically received by followers and patients. Representatives of official medicine hardly perceived the obvious. A peculiar approach, the author himself (Ogulov AT), visceral chiropractic, an innovative solution to the tasks - all caused aversion. Although the results and many years of practice proved to the skeptics the opposite.
Method of Professor Ogulov
The author’s method gradually crystallized. Observing the patients, Alexander Timofeevich came to the conclusion that the abdominal region and the organs located in it are no less than the brain responsible for our physical and psychological state. He even hypothesized that the stomach is the second human brain.
The pathological condition of the pelvic organs causes certain feelings and desires in humans. Years of observation, research and experimentation made it possible to correct not only the diseased organ, but also the patient’s behavior with the help of massage. With the help of massage, attacks of tearfulness, euphoria, and depressive states were removed. It's time to implement the method for widespread use. The patent was received by the author - A.T. Ogulov. “Visceral chiropractic (massage of the abdomen)” - this name was given to a unique technique. It was a real breakthrough in manual therapy.
Practice, according to patients, showed amazing results. Experts say that massage of the abdomen allows you to remove spasms and blocks from organs, increase blood flow and lymph flow, nourish tissues with oxygen, and correct the emotional background. People note that chiropractic arm movements in the pelvic area are truly healing. And this is not surprising, because as a result of such seemingly simple manipulations, the movement of blood and lymph improves in all other areas of the body: in the limbs, head, chest. The nerve endings in the area of the spine are relaxed.
The experiments with athletes - people who are physically healthy and psychologically hardy - had an amazing result. After visceral therapy, they showed higher achievements in their field. The relaxation of the abdominal organs released a huge charge of energy, which made it possible to run faster, jump higher and be stronger and more enduring than your sportsmates.
Advocating his method, Alexander Timofeevich emphasizes that people with emotionally dependent professions need to practice abdominal massage more often. Thanks to it, labor productivity will increase, health and psychological state will improve. Ogulov's patients completely agree with their healer.
Visceral chiropractic: to be or not to be
Despite the excellent results and more than twenty years of experience, some representatives of traditional medicine are still trying to blame Ogulov and the ancient method for failure.
In part, they are right, because for someone, therapy has become not a way to alleviate the suffering of the patient, but a kind of business that brings good income. There have always been pseudo-doctors who cause harm to humans, and orthodox from medicine, who drew their conclusions and forbade such activities.
Visceral chiropractic - reviews of therapy are not always unambiguous - this is primarily the desire to heal, help the patient, alleviate the suffering of the soul and body.
Some patients refused to continue therapy only because they experienced unpleasant pain and general weakness. For others, massage of the abdomen was the only salvation from the disease, when official medicine was powerless.
A survey of most of those who had undergone internal chiropractic showed that people noticed an improvement after the first session. According to patients' reviews, the weight in the abdomen, bloating, heartburn disappeared. Breathing became more free and full, pain in the lower back and knees disappeared.
After several sessions, almost all patients noted improvement in well-being, normalization of sleep, well-functioning gastrointestinal tract, and an increase in the general psychological state.
On our own, we note: no matter how miraculous belly massage was considered, chiropractic should be carefully chosen. You can be trusted only by a qualified specialist. At the slightest doubt in the qualifications of the healer, it is better to abandon therapy and continue the search.
For a decade, US doctors have been struggling with pseudoscience and charlatans. They demanded not so much positive results as scientific research that could clarify the mechanism of action and fully present the possibilities of this area.
In the USSR, visceral practice was also banned for a long time. A practitioner, without a medical education, was persecuted, up to and including conviction under the Criminal Code.
One can be proud that the origin and development of such a useful practice occurred in Russia. In the distant stagnant years, the surgeon Bashnyak was the first to describe the processes occurring in the body after applying a massage of the abdomen.
After him, the banner was seized by the great enthusiast, optimist and hard worker Ogulov Alexander Timofeevich. Thanks to him, his disciples and followers, visceral chiropractic gained immense popularity.
Many certified doctors nowadays use the technique for the rehabilitation of patients, treatment and prevention of many diseases. Every year, internal therapy is becoming more and more popular. Thanks to seemingly simple but finely tuned movements, you can find a healthy body and spirit. This is indicated by many patients of Alexander Timofeevich.
