The Complex World of Segmental and Somatic Dysfunction
A segmental dysfunction, often known as a subluxation, refers to a misalignment or abnormal movement of spinal vertebra, resulting in interference with nerve function. Similarly, somatic dysfunction is defined as impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system including the skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures, as well as related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.
Symptoms Manifesting in the Cervical Region
Segmental and somatic dysfunction in the cervical region can be complex and multifaceted due to the number of spinal segments and associated structures in the region. From chronic headaches and neck pain to dizziness and even disturbances in hearing and vision, symptoms can range widely both in type and severity. It's essential to recognize these symptoms as potential indicators of segmental and somatic dysfunction.
Link Between Psychosomatic Aspects and Mental Health
A notable aspect of segmental and somatic dysfunction is the connection between physical symptoms and psychological state. Studies suggest that chronic somatic pain can often have profound effects on mental health, potentially leading to conditions such as depression and anxiety. This underlines the importance of holistic, integrative approaches to treatment encompassing both physical and mental health.
