Abstract
A method and device are provided for relieving back, pelvic, and/or sacral pain during labor, contractions, and/or childbirth, the device and method applying pressure to the pelvic and/or lower back areas of a pregnant woman to relieve the pain caused by contractions, labor, and/or childbirth, and the device can be used by the pregnant woman or a healthcare provider.
Claims19
A device for reducing pain in a pelvic and/or lower back area of a woman during contractions, labor, and/or child-birth, the device configured for applying pressure to pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and/or lower back of a woman experiencing pain in the pelvic area and/or lower back areas during labor, the device comprising:
- (i) a first clamp comprising a first clamping area;
- a releasable first trigger;
- a first sliding mechanism;
- a first locking mechanism;
- and a first threaded connection;
- (ii) a second clamp comprising a second clamping area;
- a releasable second trigger;
- a second sliding mechanism;
- a second locking mechanism;
- and a second threaded connection;
- (iii) a lateral bar comprising a sliding area for sliding the first clamp and the second clamp along a length of the lateral bar;
- (iv) a first padding attachment comprising an interior first threaded tubing threaded onto the first threaded connection of the first clamp;
- the first threaded tubing covered by a first exterior foam;
- the first padding attachment operably attachable to the first clamp via the first threaded connection;
- and
- (v) a second padding attachment comprising an interior second threaded tubing threaded onto the second threaded connection of the second clamp;
- the second threaded tubing covered by a second exterior foam;
- the second padding attachment operably attachable to the second clamp via the second threaded connection;
- and
- (vi) an adjustable slider disposed slidably on the lateral bar to move laterally thereon and comprising:
- (A) a folded portion slidable along the lateral bar between the first clamp and the second clamp;
- (B) a threaded opening for a threaded bolt;
- (C) the threaded bolt threaded through the threaded opening and having at one end at least one of one or more interchangeable back pressure foam attachments;
- and having at an opposite end tightening or loosening portions;
- the adjustable slider being configured to apply different pressures to a central portion of the lower back or pelvis to relieve pain in the lower back or pelvis by applying pressure to the one of the interchangeable back pressure foam attachments by tightening or loosening the tightening or loosening portions by turning the threaded bolt within the threaded opening, after the first and second clamps have been positioned to apply the pressure to the pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and/or lower back of the woman experiencing the pain in the pelvic area and/or lower back areas during labor.

- and a second threaded connection;
- (iii) a lateral bar comprising a sliding area for sliding the first clamp and the second clamp along a length of the lateral bar, and one or both of:
- a. the first clamp being configured to slide along the length of the lateral bar while the second clamp is disposed clamped to the lateral bar, and
- b. the second clamp being configured to slide along the length of the lateral bar while the first clamp is disposed clamped to the lateral bar;
- (iv) a first padding attachment comprising an interior first threaded tubing threaded onto the first threaded connection of the first clamp;
- the first threaded tubing covered by a first exterior foam;
- the first padding attachment operably attachable to the first clamp via the first threaded connection;
- and
- (v) a second padding attachment comprising an interior second threaded tubing threaded onto the second threaded connection of the second clamp;

- the second padding attachment operably attachable to the second clamp via the second threaded connection;
- and
- (vi) an adjustable slider disposed slidably on the lateral bar to move laterally thereon and comprising:
- (A) a folded portion slidable along the lateral bar between the first clamp and the second clamp;
- (B) a threaded opening for a threaded bolt;
- (C) the threaded bolt threaded through the threaded opening and having at one end at least one of one or more interchangeable back pressure foam attachments;
- and having at an opposite end tightening or loosening portions;
- the adjustable slider being configured to apply different pressures to a central portion of the lower back or pelvis to relieve pain in the lower back or pelvis by applying pressure to the one of the interchangeable back pressure foam attachments by tightening or loosening the tightening or loosening portions by turning the threaded bolt within the threaded opening, after the first and second clamps have been positioned to apply the pressure to the pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and/or lower back of the woman experiencing the pain in the pelvic area and lower back during labor.
