		Visceral pain is usually perceived in the general anatomic region of its organ source.
		The location where the visceral pain is felt is at a level where the overlying skin and body wall structures are supplied by sensory somatic fibers of the same dermatome segments.
		Inflammation of the visceral surface of an abdominal organ, or the escape of noxious fluid from a perforation of the hollow gut, irritates the immediately adjacent body cavity surface.

	Welcome to Health and Hope Institute LLC
		Visceral Manipulation (VM) developed by Jean-Pierre Barral, Osteopathic Physician and Physical Therapist, is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and their influence in many structural and physiological dysfunctions.
		Every organ moves in synchrony with all the organ and structures of the body in 2 phases Inspir and Expir (active-away and passive-toward the center of the body or the midline), on an “Embryological migration pathway”.
		Visceral Manipulation is used to locate and correct problems throughout the body.

		The sensory component of visceral organs is essentially the same as that of the somatic division, but the motor division is quite different from that of somatic organs and is given a special name: the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
		Secondly, parasympathetic ganglia are located in the visceral organs they innervate, e.g., the plexus in the muscularis externa of the alimentary tube, whereas sympathetic ganglia are located near the spinal cord distant from the organ innervated.
		Consequently, the axon of the first motor neuron (preganglionic fiber) of the parasympathetic division must be long to reach the visceral organ while the axon of the second neuron (postganglionic fiber) is short since the ganglion lies in the visceral organ.

	Visceral Manipulation for Chronic Pain Treatment
		Visceral Manipulation relieves imbalances and restrictions in the interconnections between the motions of all the organs and structures of the body.
		The visceral system relies on the interconnected synchronicity between the motions of all the organs and structures of the body.
		Visceral Manipulation is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues.

	Viscus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In anatomy, a viscus (plural: viscera) is an internal organ of an animal (including humans), in particular an internal organ of the thorax or abdomen.
		The adjective visceral is used for anything pertaining to the internal organs.
		Historically, viscera of animals were examined by Roman pagan priests like the haruspices or the augurs in order to divine the future by their shape, dimensions or other factors.

	Somoto Visceral Pain
		It is not uncommon to have persistent abdominal, flank, chest, or groin pain that remains undiagnosed.
		It is particularly frustrating when repeated doctor visits or a full workup of the organ system involved fails to reveal a source.
		Typically, either a primary care physician or an internal organ specialist will want to make sure that a visceral source — the stomach, colon, ovaries, uterus, kidney, and genitals — are evaluated before considering the somatic system.

	What is Hara Visceral Work?
		Visceral Manipulation is specific for diminished movement of organs and in its application we are able to get motility and mobility back for each specific organ.
		Therefore working manually with the fascia through fascial specific organ mobilization or hara work and combining it with the energetics of acupuncture we are creating a powerful and useful combination for the treatment of many conditions.
		Adhesions cause two organs to stick to each other which changes the pressures in the abdominal cavity and creates a pulling and tension in the body which in turn creates a detrimental effect on all fascias and structures of the body.

		At optimal health, the relationship between the organs (viscera) and structures of the body (muscles, membranes, fasciae and bones) remains stable despite the body’s endless varieties of motion.
		But when one organ can’t move in harmony with its surrounding viscera due to abnormal tone, adhesions or displacement, it works against all the body’s organs and structures.
		Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a gentle hands-on therapy that works through the body’s visceral system (the heart, liver, intestines and other internal organs) to locate and alleviate these abnormal points of tension throughout the body.

		Initially in the work-up, however, determining the extent of visceral organ involvement is more important than identifying the type of vasculitis, so that organs at risk of damage are not jeopardized if treatment is delayed or inadequate.
		Small-vessel involvement in the skin or visceral organs can also be the result of immune complex deposition in association with infection, drugs, neoplasia or inflammatory disorders, which are not primary vasculitides.
		Initial therapy is primarily determined by the type and severity of organ involvement and by the rate of disease progression, although the specific type of vasculitis may further influence therapy.

	Juxtaoral organ of Chievitz
		was first described by Chievitz in 1885 and is considered to be a vestigial organ, perhaps of the developing parotid gland, or to be epithelium entrapped during the embryonic development of the interface between the maxillary and mandibular processes.
		Until recently it was thought that the organ produces no visible or palpable mass, it was an occasional incidental finding in biopsied tissue samples from the region.
		The juxtaoral organ is a multilobulated nest or aggregation of 2-10 discrete islands of moderately large, oval or angular cells with a distinct squamoid appearance but with no keratin formation and with few, if any, intercellular bridges (Figures 1 and 2).

		Visceral is based on the observation that the organs have inherent motion.
		Since the organs have inherent physiologic motion and Visceral Manipulation is based on freeing and balancing the organs from adhesions or blockages it allows the organs to move freely again.

	Lymphosarcoma in the Ferret
		Late in the course of disease, neoplastic lymphocytes infiltrate visceral organs (including the liver, kidney, lungs, and spleen) resulting in organ failure and death.
		Alternatively, a diagnosis may be made on biopsies of visceral organs in animals with disseminated disease, with the spleen probably yielding the highest number of positive aspirates or biopsies.
		The diagnosis of lymphosarcoma is based on the presence of a monomorphic population of blastic lymphocytes on a fine needle aspirate or surgical biopsy of a lymph node or, less commonly, a visceral organ, and NOT changes seen on a complete cell count.

		In the AL cases, the muscularis propria of the gastrointestinal tract was involved in amyloid deposits, as seen for the B2M type, but the vascular amyloid deposits were localized in the media and adventitia of larger vessels.
		Although the existence of a direct relationship between increase in extracellular matrix material and amyloidogenesis remains to be proven, the observed variation in extracellular matrix changes in the background of each type of amyloidosis may indicate different binding sites of the amyloid precursor proteins, resulting in the specific histological features and distribution.

	Abdominal Palpation ‑‑ Part 1 by Dr. Howard Loomis
		But if the cause of the muscle contraction originates in a visceral organ that's stressed and not receiving adequate nutrition to meet demands or is producing excessive waste that isn't removed adequately, then the problem simply continues to occur and even progresses.
		While muscular rigidity or "guarding" is one of the most important early signs of inflammation, it's also found in the muscles that share innervation with a dysfunctional visceral organ.
		Of course the involved stress points may be secondary to visceral disorders, such as peptic ulcer, intestinal parasites, dysentery, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, and cholelithiasis.

		This suggests that growth of visceral organs continues during periods of restricted carcass growth when steers are grazing low-quality forage or are restricted in intake of high-quality winter wheat forage.
		Relative to EBW gain, growth of visceral organs at the expense of carcass tissue may be a survival mechanism.
		Greater gastrointestinal organ mass per unit of body weight was found in steers restricted in wheat-forage intake or grazing low-quality dormant native range compared with high-gaining wheat pasture steers.

	The Autonomic Nervous System
		The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system that functions to regulate the basic visceral (organ) processes needed for the maintenance of normal bodily functions.
		However, this definition needs to be expanded to encompass the fact that it also relays visceral sensory information into the central nervous system and processes it in such a way as to make alterations in the activity of specific autonomic motor outflows, such as those that control the heart, blood vessels, and other visceral organs.
		Upon reaching their target organs by traveling with the blood vessels that supply them, sympathetic fibers terminate as a series of varicosities close to the end organ.

	RSD with Distant Effects
		In this case, the afflicted person has sympathetic pain associated with true RSD or any of its subtypes and they have autonomically controlled symptoms related to the internal organs (the vicera). These include, but are not limited to rapid heart rate, change in bowel or bladder function, dizziness, or blurred vision.
		One of the best explanations for the spread of pain from limb to limb is the "table cloth effect.” In this case, the fascia — the sticky stuff in between the skin and meat in chicken — gets pulled, just like a tablecloth, and causes kinks in distant places.
		While direct communication of the sympathetic system supplying the internal organs is explanation enough for the spread to internal organs, other possibilities exist.

	Early American Manual Therapy
		In stomach troubles from chronic disease of the generative organs, it appears that Meissner's plexus is aff ected the most, as such patients seldom vomit; but they do not digest their food, which is performed by the gastric fluid secreted by the influence of Meissner's plexus on the cardiac and pyloric glands.
		The anatomical nerve track followed by irritation from the generative organs to the abdominal brain, and thence to the liver, is plain, and the physiological results show the theory to be reasonable.
		So that irritations from the generative organs reach the vaso-motor centers in the medulla and spinal cord by two routes: (a) by the pneumogastrics from the abdominal brain, and (b) by the lateral chain of ganglia.

	The art of diagnosis by Dr. Howard F. Loomis
		Thus, the symptom itself indicates the organ or structure in which normal function is increased or decreased and is out of time with need.
		Between the years 1898 and 1917, it was discovered that anytime a visceral organ was sending sensory signals of distress to the brain, the motor response came back not only to the organ but also to the associated skin and muscles that shared the same innervation.
		If joint dysfunction (range of motion) does not exist, review the case history for symptoms of visceral dysfunction that could be associated with the irritation and palpate that area to confirm.
