Functional vs Organic GI problems
Functional = no organic pathology; not specific to an organ system
-TREATED WITH OMT

Organic = organic/pathological cause
-OMT may help with symptoms, but need to treat the pathological cause also
Possible SDs that effect Vascular and Lymphatic flow (5):
-Thoracic Inlet
-Thoracic Cage
-Abdominal Diaphragm
-Mesentaries
-Pelvic Diaphragm
Abdominal prevertebral ganglia that the SNS innervation travels through to innervate the gut:
Celiac
Superior Mesenteric
Inferior Mesenteric
Vagal innervation of the Gut goes from the mouth to the...
Mid-transverse colon.

Pelvic Splanchnics = left half of transverse colon --> rectum
Pelvic Diaphragm is innervated by...
S2-S4
(Pudendal nerve)
Facilitation
= changes to the areas innervated by the associated segment (increased efferent activity, increased sensitivity to exogenous stimulation)

-Changes are proportional to the input from the viscera (degree of segment irritability ~ degree of visceral pathology)
Viscerosomatic reflexes are...
-Diagnostic tools (somatic reflections of visceral pathology)

-Reflex in nature

-SNS = T1 --> L2
-PSNS = high cervical, sacral regions

Anterior IT band
What should be done for Gi complaints that are:
-Acute?
-Sub-Acute?
-Chronic?
Acute = assess for surgical/emergency intervention

Sub-Acute = normalization of ANS, release mechanical restrictions (help healing process)

Chronic = OMT intervention!
Empower the pt to:
-adhere to dietary measures
-ingest adequate amounts of water, fiber, and limit processed foods
-avoid substances that worsen GI disease
-maintain optimal weight and exercise
