Are you ready to conquer the mysteries of endometriosis, pelvic pain, and nerve impingement? Yes? Great! Buckle up and join us today as we delve into this complex world with the unparalleled insights of Dr. Sallie Sarrell and our special guest, Inge. In our fruitful discussion, we unmask the numerous culprits behind groin and pelvic pain, including the nuances of herniated discs, no-buldge hernia and the much-dreaded sciatica. As we dig deeper, we will inevitably equip you with the knowledge to engage confidently with your medical providers.
Unleashing the wonders of techniques like cupping therapy, we'll journey through the intricate layers of scar tissue and enter the realm of fascia release. We'll investigate how a castor oil pack softens tissue before a release session and how hands-on tools like dry needling or cupping can facilitate this process. Wading through the murky waters of ovarian cysts and their effect on the posterior cutaneous nerve, we make a mindful stop at the importance of consent before embarking on any treatment journey.
Navigating further, we'll discover the complexities of the iliacus muscle group, alignment issues, pelvic disease, and the omnipresent influence of diaphragm excursion in all three planes. Learn about the role of Carnett's tests and MRIs in hernia diagnosis and the invaluable protocol developed by Shirin Towfigh in identifying occult or no-bulge hernias. As we unearth the parallels between frozen pelvis and hernias, we also shed light on the empowering role of physical therapy and strength training in rehabilitation. Finally, we reveal the differences between diastasis recti and hernias and the unexpected role testosterone plays in endometriosis care. So, are you ready to take the plunge? Let's dive together into this enthralling journey of exploration and discovery.
