A member asked:
Can your back being out of alignment cause you to have abdominal pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not commonly: "back alignment" is not generally the cause of any symptoms unless in the setting of major trauma. Chiropractors often refer to the back being "out of alignment" as a source of many issues but can't honestly say that re-alignment helps in any way. Abdominal discomfort is very rarely associated with the back. If you have abdominal pain your source is probably within the abdomen or muscle wall.
