Allergies


Most problems that exist within the body are based around something chemical and/or emotional being out of balance and therefore, manifesting structurally (mechanical) resulting in pain.

For example, the continued ingestion of wheat when there is an allergy or sensitivity to wheat can be problematic for the liver, which in turn can cause shoulder and/or middle back pain due to the relationship of the organ (the liver in this scenario) to the muscle (rhomboids or pectoralis major). One of the muscle’s responsibilities is to support the skeleton. When an organ is taxed by a chemical sensitivity (like wheat) the muscle that is related to the organ cannot perform its function properly, i.e., support the structure. Something moves out of alignment and you feel pain. Pain is just the body’s way of telling you that something is not right.
