What are digestive system disorders?
The most common are colic, acid reflux, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. A common component in several of these is that they may be related to a poorly synchronized nervous system.
Each section of the gastrointestinal tract is prone to a unique and specific disorder, some are simply annoying such as heartburn, while others can be painful and even debilitating with symptoms such as:
- Cramps
- Swelling
- Diarrhea, constipation
- Bleeding
If the condition persists, it can undermine the overall health and well-being of the affected person, and in some cases, threaten his or her life.
There are millions of people that the digestive process is complicated, can result in various digestive disorders and interfere in any aspect of our lives.
Digestive and brainstem disorders
Both scientific research and clinical evidence continue to suggest that a malfunctioning nervous system may be a key factor in the development of various digestive disorders.
How can chiropractic help with digestive disorders?
I explain how Chiropractic can help in digestive disorders.
The first two bones of the spine protect the brain stem. They are the two bones most susceptible to misalignment.
The brain stem controls the vital functions of the body. In the event that the first bones are misaligned and put pressure on the brain stem the vital functions of the body are compromised.
A regular scan determines the existence or absence of interference in the brain stem.
Specific radiographs give us the detail of which segment is misaligned and in which direction.
The Doctor of Chiropractic specifically corrects misalignment when necessary, thus restoring the individual's vitality and self-healing ability.
