Type ‘O’Disorders….

Type ‘O’ Disorders are those that relate to an Organ of your body, as opposed to to a muscle, ligament, nerve or joint.

Some examples of these are:
Large Intestine – Can manifest as Diarrhea or constipation
Bladder – Can manifest as too frequent or infrequent Urination
Stomach – Can manifest as acid reflux

The theory behind it is that a dysfunction in a joint of your spine can put very slight pressure on the nerves that come out at that level and make that nerve overactive or under active. This process can trigger a range of symptoms, depending on where the dysfunction is.
See this picture for more details.

A recent Client that has had success with this type of disorder are:
A 12 week old boy that was suffering from reflux, did not respond to standard medical treatment and medication. We adjusted in between his shoulders where there were joints not moving properly, and in a matter of days his body healed of the reflux and he has not had a problem since.

A 5 year old boy was suffering from the feeling of needing to urinate very frequently (up to 30 times a day) he had some low back pain and joint dysfunction at the base of his spine. After a week of treatment, he has gone back to normal where traditional medicine failed.

This doesn’t happen every time, but is well worth checking out as there are no harmful side effects of a Chiropractic adjustment, as there can be with most medications.

So if you or someone you know is suffering from what sounds like a ‘Type O’ disorder, send them into the clinic and we can assess if spinal issues are the cause of the symptoms.
