Segmental and somatic dysfunction - what does this mean

Segmental and somatic dysfunction is a type of musculoskeletal disorder that occurs when the normal motion and position of the vertebral segments are altered, leading to a restriction in the range of motion of the spine and other joints. this dysfunction can also cause pain, tenderness, and decreased mobility of the affected area.

What happens during the disease - segmental and somatic dysfunction

Segmental and somatic dysfunction is a condition that occurs when spinal segments become restricted, resulting in altered nerve, muscle, and joint function. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, inflammation, posture, or repetitive motions. when this occurs, the body's natural ability to adapt and self-regulate is hindered, leading to pain, decreased range of motion, and impaired performance.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination
  • X-ray imaging
  • CT scan
  • MRI scan
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Blood tests
  • Urine tests
  • Muscle testing
  • Joint movement tests
  • Tendon reflex tests
  • Nerve conduction studies

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main Goal: To reduce the signs and symptoms of segmental and somatic dysfunction.
  • Manual therapy to improve joint mobility and decrease muscle tension.
  • Soft tissue mobilization to reduce pain and improve range of motion.
  • Exercise therapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
  • Postural re-education to improve posture and decrease pain.
  • Stretching to reduce muscle tension and improve flexibility.
  • Heat/Cold therapy to reduce inflammation and improve circulation.
  • Electrical stimulation to reduce pain and improve muscle function.

Segmental and somatic dysfunction - Prevention

Segmental and somatic dysfunction can be prevented by maintaining good posture, stretching and strengthening exercises, and avoiding activities that put excessive strain on the body. additionally, adequate rest, proper nutrition, and regular exercise can help keep the body strong and flexible, reducing the risk of developing segmental and somatic dysfunction.
