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 |

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 |
