A few more things and this isn't to scare you but just some things you need to know when the spine is dysfunctional. if you feel your urinary tract is blocked or bowels become stopped up and you start getting a head ache call 911 and get to the ER.

There is a condition called Dysreflexia which can happen. If you can't whiz your body can start going into shock. Once symptoms begin it is very important to seek immediate medical help. What they will do is insert a Foley Catheter if it's the bladder and that stops the crisis. This condition is a possibility for spinal cord and spine injury patients. It is not something to let get out of hand. I know this because I was trained to know this from a spinal rehab center. It likely won't happen but it is good to know ahead of time info so you don't let it get too far out of hand.
