[Pathogenesis and treatment of abdominal pain spinal syndrome]

Development of the abdominal pain spinal syndrome is due to alterations in motor segments of the low-thoracic spine which bring about compression and dyscirculatory shifts in the nervous roots and their vegetative branches. Manual therapy was successful in recovery of physiological coordination between elements of the spinal motor segment thus correcting abnormalities in the nervous roots related to compression and affected circulation in 30 out of 36 patients treated.
