Hiatal Hernia Self Treatment

[@lauradembinski186]

I had a hiatal hernia many years ago the caused the feeling like a pill was always stuck in my throat. A chiropractor completed this maneuver on me and it was so helpful. I then learned how to complete the maneuver on myself. I had to keep doing it several times a day for several months but I eventually was able to restretch my esophagus to its normal length again, keeping my stomach where it belonged. No more hernia!

[@wonderwoman7969]

Thank you for sharing :) fills me with lots of hope :)

[@odohchiamaka5981]

How did you restretch your esophagus?

[@Synergywellnessny]

@odohchiamaka5981 you can't stretch your esophagus, so I don't understand this question

[@Hudson..]

Do you have shortness of breath symtomp?

[@cezarmihai7546]

​@@Hudson..i have shortness of breath

[@julianregnier9764]

This worked for me. I do it to myself with a thick wooden soup spoon. Morning, noon, and night 5 times each. It does pull your stomach sphincter out of the diagram. Try it yourself, you will figure it out. Thnaks! It changed my life.

[@colinpierre3441]

Why do we have to keep doing it so many times though... does it keep sliding back in?

[@julianregnier9764]

Yes it does slip out or in again. Just do the routine daily. For me think it is bad posture and weak diaphragm, both fixable.@@colinpierre3441

[@colinpierre3441]

@@SpillCheckerIsOverated Ok, but what I'm thinking is that if the hole in the hiatus is tight enough to keep that piece of stomach lodged above it, then when it gets squeezed back down it should take an equal amount of squeezing to get it back up there lol

[@colinpierre3441]

@@SpillCheckerIsOverated Well I've tried my best to stay away from those things that are supposed to pressure it back through the diaphragm... but who knows. Have you tried the warm glass of water technique? Although as you said... it could be too large. If that's the case maybe you need to strengthen and tighten the core muscles. There is a channel that has some exercises for that. My hernia was diagnosed with endoscopy, but that was 3 months ago, so I don't know how it's looking now.

[@YouButter]

Ha!! I just got mine out last night and carry it with me. Works

[@maryjohansson3627]

Doing this myself. I had no idea that a hiatal hernia could be manipulated. I am glad I found your video.

Hi! Thanks for this video. How frequently do you recommend doing this move for chronic symptoms? Is there a risk in doing it too frequently?

Very usefull but that camera angel could be on the other way around or the patient could be lieing hed on other side so that I could see you do it. But really great video. If you could please make other video with video focing your hands clearly. Thank u

[@heymapll33]

So let m,e get this straight, this exercise does what exactly? Does this push it back in? and for how long?

[@janel316]

This is my problem now sir Iam suffering now hiatal hernia and acid reflux almost 4 months now. I saw the video from you now I got an idea about self massage hiatal hernia. So difficult this pain.

[@bubuotis]

it has to be done preferably on an empty stomach?

[@MS-qb5sr]

I have been having (what I feel are) severe GI issues since the beginning of December, so 3 months ago. I have been seeing my doctor every week or two, who keeps blowing me off saying it’s anxiety. I haven’t been suffering from any anxiety for a long while. He hasn’t checked ANYTHING except an abdominal ultrasound that I had to ask for. I do have a history of depression and anxiety and I truly feel he was just going off that. He doesn’t listen at all when I try to explain my symptoms. Anyway, I just wanted the timeline to show and that I HAVE been trying to get medical treatment. Even a diagnosis would be nice!! So I have been having to self-diagnose because I need relief!! He did put me on PPI’s (Pantoprizole) the first time I saw him. And I really don’t want to take them after reading up on it. My primary complaint was/is extreme early satiety. I can’t get down more than 2-3 bites without serious effort. I was regurgitating a lot but I don’t do that very much anymore. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, or if something has gotten worse and things got blocked? ANYWAY - sorry for rambling. I am seeing a new dr in a couple weeks I give up on mine. I live in a remote small town so there’s not many dr’s to go around. The new one I’m seeing is an hour away. From what I can find, I believe I have a pretty good hiatal hernia. I guess my very long winded question is - can this maneuver do harm if I do NOT have a hiatal hernia? I’m so desperate for relief I’m willing to try about anything but I don’t want to make things worse.

[@cacmitevski5415]

Hope you doing better with your new doc,am in a simular situation and not realy sure what my problem is...

[@christianoronaldofanpage1407]

Why not do a test for hiatal hernia first to know if u have it,before treating it

[@MS-qb5sr]

@@christianoronaldofanpage1407 because dr’s have blown me off for 11 months, saying there’s nothing g wrong with me. My reply to this video was several months ago, I have since expelled a 2-foot long soft bowel obstruction on Sept 6, have been living through physical hell since AND was diagnosed with cancer last Thursday. My Dr should publish a paper - he discovered that “it’s just your anxiety, there’s nothing wrong with you” can cause cancer!! 😮🤯🤯🖕

I had a food blockage because of this last week. I had to phone for an ambulance it was so bad. It was a horrible experience. First time I’ve ever been in a ambulance and off to hospital. After a period of time at hospital the doctor gave me a can of Coke and told me to take smalḻ sips of it. The fizziness loosened the blockage.

[@Synergywellnessny]

Where was the food blockage specifically? Hiatal hernia can cause esophageal swelling and trap food causing dysphagia. Did you have the blockage all along or was it aggravated by Doing the maneuver to your self.

[@aussie8114]

@@Synergywellnessny I get food blockage where the stomach extends up through the diaphragm. At least I’m presuming that’s what is happening. I’m very careful of what I eat and how I eat, processing many foods for example. But on this occasion a can of ravioli was not chopped up enough even though I thought it was and would go through fine. I’m a pretty tough guy but this episode was very distressing, it takes a lot for me to call for an ambulance but I very much needed help. Back to normal now but I will do everything possible to avoid that again, I will more carefully process food and divide each meal into a few sittings spread over an hour. Also got a dozen cans of Coke just in case. Was diagnosed with a minor hiatal hernia about 4 years ago but obviously it has got worse. Might need to go back to a specialist to see if there’s a solution but I think it is what it is. Getting older sucks 😂

[@sherocker9605]

Check out Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammation of the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). I get food that gets stuck. You might have this as well.

Thanks so much for these videos! I have had a hiatal hernia since I was in my 30's. It was never a problem until I was 60. Now I am 72 and visit a Chiropractor regularly. The adjustments help but soon wear off. I live in Mississippi so I cannot visit you . I noticed that you had developed a tool and was wondering when it will be available for purchase? I am going to show my chiropractor some of your videos !! I will begin to do your exercises you have posted. Is there an available video to purchase or a sheet I could purchase or link to download them on my phone? Thanks again for sharing !!

Hi! I tried this teqnique, i felt some relief but after i ate i felt more heartburn and also little tension. Is it normal that you feel some pulsations in stomach when pushing downwards? I got scared maybe i damaged somethning.

[@colinpierre3441]

There's a technique where you drink a tall glass of warm water as fast as you can on an empty stomach in the morning and then raise up on your toes and drop on your heels about 10 times or more... some people jump on a trampoline or off a step onto the floor. Basically anything that would bring down the water with force to push the stomach back through the diaphragm.

[@runforthehills707]

Quick question: isn't your liver in the way??

[@jhjln8712]

No, the liver is off to the right side.

[@djanderson6531]

Never press on the xiphoid process. Always press to the left and right of it.

[@Synergywellnessny]

You won’t hurt your ziphoid process if you do touch it. Not correct the hernia is slightly below the xiphoid. For some it’s dead center and for some it’s slightly to the left. We even have a video of a patient with situs inversus (all his organs are on opposite side)

[@crowdog45]

@@Synergywellnessny Can it ever be to the right? I had my chinese accupuncturist do this but he did it on the opposite side, anddidn't pull down but pushed up, like under and into the rib cage. It also felt like it unherniated to an extent (positive result) but I was confused since the stomach is on the left side.. Curious to get your thoughts? Does it work on the right by pushing the esopohus upwards instead of the stomach downwards like this?

[@SunFellow941]

I wish you could do this by yourself.

[@evelinakanerva8051]

How should this feel after you have done it? My husband did this on me and it feels like my whole stomach is to far down, like we moved to much in the other way? We did just like in your video. I guess, my question is, can you do this wrong and harm yourself in any way?i also started to burp a lot.. like a lot.

[@Synergywellnessny]

Very hard to hurt yourself. If you have an abdominal aortic aneurysm you should not do this. Hopefully he can do it again in a few days and it improves.

For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
