Visceral Somatic Reflex Relating to the Lower Back

Visceral-somatic reflexes occur when internal organ problems trigger muscle tension or pain in the body, often including the lower back. For example, kidney issues, menstrual cramps, or gastrointestinal inflammation can cause protective tightening of the lumbar muscles.

These reflexes can confuse diagnosis, as the pain may not originate in the musculoskeletal system. A skilled clinician may evaluate both spinal health and visceral function to identify the true source of lower back symptoms. Holistic evaluation is often key in chronic cases.
