Correlation between organ dysfunctions and vertebral displacements

In a prospective study a comparison was made between a control group (a group of patients with displaced vertebrae but without organic complaints) and different groups of patients who were not only characterised by displaced vertebrae but also by various organ dysfunctions. Six groups of patients were differentiated: patients with gastric complaints, intestinal complaints, heart conditions, asthma, hyperventilation and migraine. Of these seven groups curves have been made to show the mean number of abnormalities per vertebra. The curves of patients with an organic complaint were compared with the curves of patients without organic complaints. The differences, which are pronounced, are discussed in this article.
