Topic Explanation:
The discussion revolves around the use of pregnancy pillows for ostomates when visiting chiropractors or massage therapists. The original poster shares their experience of discomfort when lying flat on a chiropractor's table due to the pressure on their ostomy. They highlight how a pregnancy pillow, which is designed to accommodate a pregnant woman's bump, has been a game changer by providing comfort and preventing pressure on the abdomen. This adaptation allows them to undergo chiropractic treatments without fear of damaging their ostomy or experiencing leaks.

Helpful Insights and Advice:
1. Use of Pregnancy Pillows:
- Pregnancy pillows can be used not only at chiropractic sessions but also potentially at massage therapy appointments to alleviate pressure on the ostomy.

2. Alternative Table Options:
- Some chiropractors use drop-section tables, which have a center section that can drop down to reduce pressure on the abdomen, similar to the function of a pregnancy pillow.

3. Personal Adjustments and Alternatives:
- Some chiropractors offer adjustments while the patient is sitting, which can also be a comfortable alternative for ostomates.
- For those who do not have access to a pregnancy pillow or a drop-section table, using a small round blow-up tube (similar to a wheelbarrow wheel inner tube), which can be adjusted by varying the amount of air and wrapped in a towel or pillowcase, might provide a makeshift solution.

4. Purchasing and Using Own Equipment:
- If a chiropractor or massage therapist does not have suitable equipment like a pregnancy pillow, ostomates might consider purchasing their own and bringing it to appointments. This ensures comfort and safety during the sessions.

5. Experiences with Different Types of Massages:
- For massages, placing a pad or pillow above and below the ostomy (leaving space for the ostomy bag) can be an effective way to ensure comfort and protect the ostomy during the session.

6. Availability and Recommendations:
- Pregnancy pillows and similar supportive devices can sometimes be found through online retailers or stores that sell medical or handicap-accessible products.
