Which of the following is NOT listed as a visceral correlation with vertebral subluxation complex (VSC)?

The connection between visceral correlations and the vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) is grounded in the understanding that certain visceral conditions can be influenced by spinal dysfunction or misalignment. Visceral correlations refer to the dysfunctions of internal organs that can manifest as a result of VSC due to the disruption of nerve pathways and communication between the spine and the corresponding organs.

Colic, urinary output, and asthma are all conditions that have been associated with specific segments of the spine. For instance, colic might relate to the lumbar region, urinary output to specific sacral nerves, and asthma is often linked with thoracic vertebrae, indicating a close relationship between these visceral issues and spinal health.

Osteoporosis, on the other hand, is primarily a condition characterized by the weakening of bones and is not directly associated with nerve supply or function resulting from vertebral subluxation. It is more related to metabolic and nutritional factors rather than a direct consequence of VSC. Therefore, it is not considered a visceral correlation in the context of vertebral subluxation complex, making it the correct response in this context. Understanding why osteoporosis does not fit into the category of visceral correlations in relation to VSC is crucial for grasping the principles of how chiropractic
