Method and Device for Relieving Back, Pelvic, and/or Sacral Pain During Contractions Labor and/or Childbirth

A method for reducing pain in the pelvic and/or lower back area of a woman during contractions, labor, and/or child birth, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a device that applies pressure to pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and/or lower back of a person 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 bar comprising a sliding area for sliding the first clamp and the second clamp along the length of the 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 comprising:
• (A) a folded portion slidable along the bar between the first clamp and the second clamp;
• (B) a threaded opening for a threaded bolt;
• (C) a threaded bolt threaded through the threaded opening and having at one end at least one of 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 person experiencing the pain in the pelvic area and/or lower back areas during labor;
• and
• (b) applying pressure using the device to the pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and lower back or center rear pelvis of the person experiencing pain in the hips, pelvic, and/or lower back areas during contractions, labor, or childbirth, such that the pain in the hips, pelvis, and/or lower back areas is reduced, the applying pressure comprising:
• (i) locking the second clamp adjacent one end of the sliding area of the bar using the releasable second trigger and the second locking mechanism;
• (ii) sliding or providing the adjustable slider over the opposite end of the sliding area of the bar;
• (iii) sliding the first sliding mechanism of the first clamp over the sliding area of the bar using the releasable first trigger and locking the first clamp to the bar using the first locking mechanism, such that the outside of the hips or pelvis are clamped between the first padding attachment and the second padding attachment;
• and
• (vi) tightening or loosening the tightening or loosening portions of the adjustable slider to apply different pressures to the one of the interchangeable back pressure foam attachments, and/or the first padding attachment and the second padding attachment, to the lower back or rear central pelvis, after the first and second clamps have been positioned, such that pressure is applied to the pressure points on the outside of the hips or pelvis and/or lower back or central rear pelvis of the person experiencing the pain in the pelvic area and/or lower back areas during labor, such that the pressure applied reduces pain during contractions, labor, and/or child birth.
