I have had colonics since my injury many times.  I went to a "professional" who did what is called colon  therapy, which is basically a big enema, lol.  I have sensation and also a lot of pain in my abdomen, so through my many exhaustive searches for pain relief, colon  therapy.  I never got dysreflexia and although it didn't help with the burning pain in my gut, it did help relieve pressure.  I think colonics are a really good idea to have once a month or once every six months just to give the body a good cleansing.  The hardest part is finding a person who has a table low enough to be able to get transferred over on to the table to have the colonics.  It's been many years since I have had a colonic, but I would definitely recommend it.

Has anyone ever heard of colonics? Has anyone ever had it done? Isn't it basically the same thing as a colon irrigation? I'm thinking of having it done by someone certified to use the machine but not a doctor or nurse to "clean me out". What do y'all think?
