The Visceral Connection to Musculoskeletal Pain
Description
In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack the relationship between the viscera, the nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system and why understanding this connection can completely change your clinical outcomes. I walk you through the physiology behind visceral referred pain, how the spine and organs influence each other, and how to start integrating this into your assessment and treatment approach without overcomplicating your process.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- How visceral organs create referred pain through shared neural pathways
- The difference between visceral referral and viscerosomatic reflexes
- Why common pain presentations (low back, shoulder, pelvic) may not be musculoskeletal in origin
- How to use spinal levels and anatomy to guide more effective treatment
This episode is about expanding your lens so you’re not just treating symptoms, but understanding what’s driving them.
