He was treated with an integrative East-West approach including acupuncture, trigger point injections, and Tui Na massage. Both his pain and constipation improved after a series of treatments, and this improvement was largely sustained at 2-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This patient's symptoms are consistent with damage to the visceral parasympathetic nervous system.
