Body System
Lower GI & Elimination
Large intestine, bladder, and elimination
The lower thoracic and lumbo-sacral regions house nerves that influence the colon, bladder, and elimination function. Chronic constipation, IBS-style patterns, and bladder issues frequently correlate with structural patterns in this region.
