@ken82 I'm not sure how to read your tone, but....I hail from Ohio. As I mentioned before, it's just my belief and theory, NOT my conclusion - I'm not a doctor or a medical professional, which is why I'm trying to have my independent study supported/validated by medical/holistic professional findings and I'm using myself as a guinea pig to report back to the masses.
So....diagnoses:
- Biliary dyskinesia: diagnosed by my surgeon in the post-op visit. The pathology report supported that via MyChart documentation.
- Visceral hypersensitivity: diagnosed by my GI doctor, whose location is in Kettering, Ohio. Also documented in MyChart.
**Due to these being my personal medical records, I'd rather not attach such documentation on a public forum.**
No organ, muscle, or gland acts on its own - everything is connected in the body and reports back to the CNS and vice-versa, and the nerves therein are responsible for a plethora of bodily functions. If a pathway along a nerve's route is blocked or damaged then that would cause some dysfunction in the body which would then send pain signals to the brain, correct? Furthermore, if the dysfunction(s) persist, then the signals will continuously "cycle" until function is restored.
So, in the case of the gallbladder: even if you've taken it away, if the nerves connected to it are still dysfunctional, they'll continue to send pain signals to the brain until either the brain/body adapts or some other interference stops the signals from firing. Also, if so many anti-depressants, anti-convulsants, anti-histamines, etc. can help alleviate symptoms of "dysfunctions" like IBS, Crohn's, ADHD, migraines, nausea etc. by positively altering or blocking the neurological pathways, I would also suspect that physical trauma could negatively alter or block those pathways, therefore causing pain and/or dysfunction of an organ, like the gallbladder. Again, this is only a proprietary theory for my own personal case that I continue to investigate.
Just to clarify: I'm NOT denouncing chiropractors at all, nor am I trying to discourage or spook anyone, if that's what you're implicating. I'm simply sharing my personal experience and providing a different (neurological) perspective/avenue for others to explore, if they've not already ruled that out.
@bjw85 thousands of medical organizations are supported in keeping their medical records by Epic, a company that arranges "my Chart" systems. My local clinic in Iowa and Mayo Clinics (in MN, AZ, FL) also use "my Chart" ... So for example if you would want a really good second opinion call the Cleveland Clinic, ask if they are on "Epic"...if they use Epic, they could review your records and the specialist could decide to see you to verify your case of system interactions..
Typically, Chiropractors are not usually part of hospital or medical clinic staffs.. The maladjustment problem you mentioned needs further investigation...ken
