Obtaining automated diagnostic information and pain relief.

The silent confluent flow of a conglomerate of sensory related signals is automatically delegated to the total specific distribution of a single spinal nerve. This silent confluent flow may be accessed, evaluated, and modified by using intradermal saline infiltration to stimulate the sensory receptors located in the skin overlying its nerve root. An unmistakable augmented burst of infiltration pain immediately followed by profound long lasting pain relief identifies a spinal nerve monitoring peripheral pathology. The identification of a monitoring spinal nerve tentatively confirms the presence of pathology confined to the specific peripheral distribution of that specific spinal nerve. The practically unknown visceral distribution proves to be specific and visceral pathology echoes through its collated spinal nerve without patent variation. Practically cost free and without side effects or contraindications dermatomal infiltration opens a whole new chapter in the field of diagnosis as it may be used to determine the presence of pathology, to locate that pathology to the specific distribution of a specific spinal nerve or nerves, and to produce unequalled pain relief.
