This topic is about finding ways for ostomates to receive chiropractic care without having to lie on their stomachs, which can be uncomfortable and risky due to the possibility of a leaking pouch. Here are some helpful insights and advice for those in a similar situation:

1. Chiropractors can often accommodate ostomates by using alternative techniques:
- Side-lying or seated adjustments can be effective.
- Soft Styrofoam or other cushions might allow for some prone work without putting pressure on the pouch.

2. Some people have successfully received seated adjustments. For example, a member mentioned that a coworker in New York routinely receives such care.

3. Be cautious with standing adjustments, as they may be risky. Seated or side-lying positions are generally safer and can effectively address issues with the hips, neck, and back.

4. Always inform your chiropractor about your ostomy so they can take the necessary precautions to ensure your comfort and safety.

5. Consider bringing baby wipes to your appointment in case of any accidental leakage.

6. Try to schedule your appointments early in the morning when your stoma output is typically lower, which can help minimize the risk of leakage during the session.
