Newport Beach Chiropractor: Your Low Back Pain can Cause Constipation
Posted Aug 02 2010 12:17pm
When a new patient comes into my office, I do a complete Neurological and Orthopedic examination as well as a review of organ systems. I explain to patients that your brain controls everything in your body, every cell, every tissue, every organ. The way it does that is by sending signals of life through the nervous system which sits within the spinal cord and into the various organs.
The nerves that exit the spine in the lower part of the spine will not only innervate your legs and feet and can cause pain, cramping, tingling and numbness in the legs and feet, but an interference with the nervous system at that level can also cause constipation, bladder control issues, incontinence, frequent urination, as well as sexual dysfunction. Be sure to get your lower back pain checked to avoid any problems in those vital organs.
