The first Chiropractic adjustment back in 1895 (the ancient Greeks and Chinese were doing similar styles way back in history!) was performed on an individual who was deaf. After his adjustment, his hearing returned, he didn't have neck pain or back pain or even migraines, he was deaf! All organs, blood vessels, tissues, muscles, ect are controlled by nerves. If the root of the nerve is pinched (where it comes out of the spine) all associated areas where that nerve goes to are inhibited as well! So, that stomach issue or bladder issue you have been having is a Chiropractic problem and the nerves that control it need to be addressed.
Recently, I was given a new challenge... a 14yo female with severe GI pain (5-7/10 in pain) 30min to an hour after she eats. Medication helped dull the pain but never corrected it, she also had been through multiple tests (Upper GI, Lower GI, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopy). All tests results were within normal limits showing no abnormality...
During the examination, patient presented with multiple spinal misalignments resulting in pinched nerves (never complained of back pain....) levels C1, C3, T5, L1, L5, and Sacrum. Patient also had severe tenderness in the stomach region right below her left anterior rib cage (costal arch) and the lower right area of her abdomen near the Ilieocecal Valve (Where the small intestine becomes the large intestine). We also performed a Kinesiology food sensitivity testing which led us to a Soy sensitivity.
I adjusted the child using a gentle adjusting instrument called the Impluse Adjusting device and also did some manual Gonstead adjusting in the Thoracic region. The patient presented as a Category I in SOT analysis, so she was placed on pelvic blocks first, during which, we discovered an occipital fiber 3 line 2, meaning the nerves going to the stomach and ilieocecal valve where not functioning properly.
After her spinal adjustment I performed CMRT (Chiropractic Manipulative Reflex Technique, aka organ adjusting) on her stomach and ilieocecal valve and advised the patient to ice the areas I adjusted for 10min after her adjustment.
On the patient's second adjustment, she reported that her pain following eating went from a 5-7/10 down to a 2/10 immediately after the adjustment. If she avoids products with Soy, she has no pain after eating. This is a huge change for this young girl and now its been 4 adjustments and she is already on a maintenance program to maintain her great state of health!
There is hope, Hope is not lost, The right help may have not been found yet! Keep your mind open and your spine inline and let the powers that created you heal you!
