woman with stomach painOur bodies go through the process of digestion every day. This occurs when food molecules are broken down, vitamins and minerals are absorbed and toxins are flushed out.

Everyone has occasional digestive issues but some people have chronic symptoms. Rather than relying solely on medication, chiropractic treatment is a natural way to address digestive disorders.

How Digestive Issues Occur

Problems with the digestive tract can occur when food digestion slows down or stops, resulting in you feeling sluggish, tired and nauseous. Why does this occur?

Digestive issues are often related to food allergies or chronic diseases, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Crohn’s Disease. Inflammation of the digestive tract can cause stomach pain, diarrhea and bloating.

While individuals who suffer from an inflammatory bowel disease are prescribed medication to help manage their condition, chiropractic has been proven to help ease symptoms.

Chiropractic for Better Digestion

Because the digestive and nervous systems are connected, digestive health starts with the spine. In fact, the upper and lower spine are responsible for regulating how fast food gets broken down and processed. As such, a spinal misalignment could affect proper digestion.

A chiropractor can perform non-invasive adjustments to get the spine back in alignment. Gentle pressure applied to compressed nerves can help the spinal column return to its normal position. The muscles and nerve pathways are then able to relax, leading to pain relief and improved function across the body’s core systems.

Additional Lifestyle Changes

Could your digestive problems be related to spinal health? A chiropractor can identify common causes of spinal compression, including arthritis, injury to the spine, abnormal alignment and poor posture. To keep the spine working properly, address discomfort or injury as soon as possible.

Certain digestive issues can be resolved with a change in diet. Consume more fiber to help move food through the large intestine quicker and lessen your sugar intake.
 
Chronic abdominal pain and other digestive issues can disrupt your life. Get back to a regular routine by seeking chiropractic care for your symptoms. To make an appointment at The Chiropractic Health Center of Glastonbury, contact us today.

"I started my chiropractic journey a few weeks before having my 3rd baby. They were amazing, patient and gentle during the pregnancy. They weren't pushy when I took my time, post pregnancy, to come back. They were amazing with my schedule and did everything to work with me. I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"
