Spinal Vibration Vibration applied to the spine thrills every nerve center of the spinalcord, restoring them to normal vibration, and applied to the abdomenstimulates digestion and intestinal activity. Best vibratory effects are, however, derived reflexly, applying vibra-tion to the various ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. In thisconnection, it is essential to remember the following:. Fig. 81—Vibrator(Pedestal Type) I, That the sympathetic nervous system is largely inhibitory in ac-tion, while the vaso-motor is stimulating; II. That the stimulation of the sympathetic causes vaso-constriction(contraction of blood vessels), while the stimulation of the vaso-motorcauses vaso-dilation (dilatation of blood vessels), A slow vibratory stroke applied over the posterior nerve roots inthe intravertebral spaces between the VII C, and I D, vertebrae, correctsand strengthens the hearts impulses (overcomes an irregular or inter-mittent heart action); opens the nasal passages and shrinks the con-gested membranes (therefore indicated in acute sinusitis, acute coryzaand hay fever); affects the arterial supply of the thyroid gland (indi-cated in goitre); lowers the blood pressure, etc. When vibrati
