Dr. Patrick Asks some important questions of interest to Olney residents - Chiropractor Olney Dr. Patrick Asks...

What's the purpose of a surgeon's mask?
When I ask most people in Olney this, most think it protects the patient from the doctor's germs. But it's so porous it does little to prevent the passage of germs. We chiropractors don't bother with masks.
Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Olney is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.

Organs Controlled by the Thoracic Nerves

The central nervous system controls all organs and functions in your body. When there is a misalignment in your spine, the nervous system may become compromised, causing a vertebral subluxation complex. The areas (organs and functions) of the body affected by the vertebral subluxation complex may malfunction. Specific symptoms may signal that this malfunction is present.

Here are the areas of the body that are controlled by the nerves stemming from between each vertebra in the thoracic (mid back) spine, and the related symptoms that may be experienced due to a vertebral subluxation complex in that area:

Vertebra Areas/Organs Affected Possible Symptoms Indicating Subluxation
T1 Arms (elbows down) hands, wrists, fingers, esophagus, trachea Pain in lower arms and hands, cough, difficulty breathing, asthma,
T2 Heart Heart conditions
T3 Lungs, chest, breast, bronchial tubes, pleura Pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, chest congestion
T4 Gall bladder Shingles, Gall bladder conditions, jaundice
T5 Liver, solar plexus, general circulation Blood pressure problems, liver problems, arthritis, poor circulation
T6 Stomach Heartburn, stomach conditions, indigestion
T7 Pancreas, duodenum Gastritis, ulcers
T8 Spleen Decreased resistance
T9 Adrenal and supra-renal glands Hives, allergies
T10 Kidneys Chronic fatigue, kidney conditions, nephritis
T11 Kidneys, ureters Skin conditions (acne), eczema
T12 Small intestines, lymph system Gas pains, certain types of sterility
