VISCEROSOMATIC REFLEXES VISCEROSOMATIC REFLEXES Viscerosomatic reflexes are diagnostic tools. They are somatic dysfunction that develops in response to visceral pathology. A modification of Van Buskirk’s nociceptively initiated model for spinal somatic dysfunction offers a description of the physiology of the viscerosomatic reflex as follows Viscerosomatic reflexes are diagnostic tools. They are somatic dysfunction that develops in response to visceral pathology. A modification of Van Buskirk’s nociceptively initiated model for spinal somatic dysfunction offers a description of the physiology of the viscerosomatic reflex as follows 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. A peripheral focus of irritation, in this case from the inflammation associated with visceral pathology, results in activation of nociceptive, general visceral afferent, neurons. These primary afferent neurons return to the spinal cord and synapse in the dorsal horn with internuncial neurons. The ongoing afferent stimulation results in the establishment of a state of irritability (facilitation) of the internuncial neurons of that spinal segment. Additional afferent activity, from any source, results in a segmental response to significantly fewer stimuli than would normally be required. This results in tenderness when the area is palpated. When the amount of afferent activity from the offending organ is sufficient enough to cause internuncial firing referred pain results. Such activity from internuncial neurons, which synapse with ventral horn motor neurons, results in segmentally related myospasticity and palpable tissue texture change. The degree of segmental irritability that is directly proportionate to the severity of the visceral pathology, and the anatomic relationship between the involved organ and the paravertebral soft tissues that makes the location of the reflex changes consistent from individual to individual allows viscerosomatic reflexes to be of diagnostic value. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
